mUmU 003 | Okain started on the decks started around 1999 when he was 15. At this time he enjoyed spinning House & Techno tracks to his friends. Influenced by Laurent Garnier, he, within the next two years, was offered the decks of a club to play a bimonthly 5 hour set. Since then he has played in the hottest spots in Paris included Rex Club & Social Club just to name a few. He also became a regular DJ for the legendary Dimuschi parties with his friends Paul Ritch & Thomas Muller.
In 2007, after a year of sound engineering studies Paul & Him released their first EP as Handycraft on Kickboxer label. Their Le Bal Masqué ep was an immediate success charted & compiled by many international DJ's. Since then Okain has released several EP's on different labels including Tsuba, Bpitch Control & French label Je t'aime Records. His productions have been granted support from the likes of Seuil, Dyed Soundorom, Loco Dice, Sebo K, Varoslav, Dan Ghenacia and Onur Ozer. It is naturally that these acclaimed releases led him to get gigs across Europe including City Hall in Barcelona during the Sonar festival 2008.
In 2009 new productions & remixes from Okain are being released on Quartz Music, Tsuba, Bpitch Control, Je t'aime Records, Arjaus & Supplemental Facts. Whilst DJing in some of Europe's top clubs.
