Dabeull

Dabeull builds a world where funk, boogie and R&B intersect with deliberate nods to the 1970s and 1980s. A French producer schooled in Caribbean and African popular music as well as in disco and American soul, Dabeull gradually made his mark in the 2010s through a series of maxi singles and collaborations released notably on the Roche Musique label. His writing favors prominent basslines, warm harmonies and sensual vocals, all framed with a clear emphasis on dance and club culture. Dabeull translates this studio work to the stage with a live band conceived as an extension of his retro aesthetic — costumes included — and employs staging inspired by the television shows of the era. Between studio sessions and tours across Europe and internationally, Dabeull pursues an approach centered on groove and the contemporary reinterpretation of funk’s codes.
