Rakoon

Rooted in the French electronic scene, Rakoon has been developing since the early 2010s a sound at the crossroads of dub, electro and so‑called organic music. As a producer and composer, he works with deep basslines, simple repetitive melodies and atmospheric textures that draw as much from reggae and dub as from downtempo and bass music. His first tracks released online opened the doors to electronic and dub‑oriented parties and festivals, where he refined a live format focused on dance and immersive progression. Over successive releases Rakoon broadened his palette to include more varied tempos and incorporated influences from world music and electronic pop, while keeping an accessible melodic approach. Present on numerous stages across France and Europe, he alternates studio productions and tours and is part of a network of collectives and promoters close to sound‑system cultures and hybrid aesthetics between dub and electro.
