Back From The Wave

A longtime activist and music enthusiast, Fred, aka Back From The Wave, immerses himself in the early forays of several major currents in electronic music: acid house, Detroit techno, house, the French touch, but also new wave, and follows groups such as Depeche Mode or New Order.

In the late 1990s, he buys synthesizers and begins composing. Over the years, several artistic and musical projects with multiple facets, released under different pseudonyms, lead to signings with French and international labels (Scandium Records, the label of André Dalcan and Paul Nazca; Goodlife, the label of Oxia and The Hacker; Rotation, Dave Angel's label).

Since 2019, Back From The Wave has produced numerous EPs and remixes for other artists, spanning electro to EBM, from new beat to indie dance. His music quickly attracted the interest of foreign labels such as Bordello A Parigi, Melodize, Roam Records, Factor City, Ombra International, as well as French labels like Ritmo Fatale, Mélopée Records, and more recently Space Factory, David Carretta's label, a figure of the electroclash scene in France with The Hacker and Kittin.

His tracks have been played by DJ Hell, Jennifer Cardini, The Hacker, Endrik Schroder, Captain Mustache, Alessandro Adriani, as well as by the younger generation such as Kendal, Bélaria, Mélanie Havens, or the New Yorker Andi.

Alongside his work as a producer, Back From The Wave regularly performs on stages such as Cabaret Sauvage in Paris, Terminal in Lyon, Le Bikini, Le Rockstore, or Rachdingue in Spain. His energetic sets mirror his productions, dedicated to the dancefloor and blending electro, EBM, indie and italo disco.
