ODRIK


 

Undoubtedly a unique character whilst playing, Odrik's impeccable selective skills has kept crowds dancing for endless hours. The French DJ's musical style thrives off blending different genres, ranging from deep house tunes to techno, Moodymann's soulful tracks to Frankie Knuckle's groovy sounds and the compelling deep African rhythm, it's all in there.

Odrik's passion for music can realistically be blamed on his very early stages in life. Sim­ply starting off in kindergarten, teachers had noticed his natural rhythm to music, unques­tionably transferring Odrik to musical class for the rest of his schooling. Brought up a by an artistic mother, he grew up under the influence of The Communards, Sade & Miles Da­vis; these soundscapes can be felt by anyone who's experienced his musical journeys.

Alongside his studies, Odrik started building his career in fashion. From working in show­rooms to being a runner at L'Art De L'Automobile, he was exposed to uncommonly exciting music scenes. Setting up cdjs for the first time for L'ART's garage pop-up and properly witnessing the purpose of the instrument, with Benji B and Virgil Abloh delivering an elec­trifying atmosphere in the streets of Paris, was the spark to Odrik's enthusiasm for djing. From then on, his life in London inspired him profoundly through the city's vibrant, elec­tronic underground club scenes; he consequently took every spare hour he could experi­menting in a studio for infinite hours, becoming Odrik's safe space for his creativity.

Founding his own musical, artistic and fashionable concept called Cloud in 2020, allowed him to broaden his recognition within the DJ industry. Not only has he bonded and col­laborated with organisations such as Voodoo Village, KOKO Camden and Deep House Bi­ble, ODRIK has shared the decks with globally known artists such as &ME, Carlita, Jamie Jones, Reznik, Themba, Serge Devant and Ahmed Spins across Europe. His devotion, cu­riosity and desire to innovate is what will bring him the furthest, aiming to ignite the dance floor with his enigmic charisma and exhilarating vibes, undoubtedly leaving a mark on you.
