Fafa was born in May 68 in Lyon (South Of France) and raised in Marseille until the year 2000. Based now in Paris, Fafa began to make a name in the eighties when he was presenting a show on a Riveras radio, mixing Funk, Disco, Hip-Hop, and Dance-Music.

His Mastermix Show ended at the beginning of the nineties, when Fafa decided to implicate himself in the Techno Movement, organizing and promoting many rave parties. In parallel, Fafa started to work on tracks and released his first ep in 1997.

But his career as an artist really took off in the year 2000 with the release of Lucky Star, under the name of Superfunk, which sold no far of 1 million singles worldwide!

Despite the success of the song, Fafa made no secret that he didn't took this project seriously and stopped quickly delivering tracks for the band. His latest solo productions and remixes for artists like Moby, Cerrone, Depeche-Mode, Shirley Bassey... showed his real talent in deeper sounds.

His remix of "I Feel Loved" has been considered by the official Depeche-Mode's fans sites as one of the best remixes ever done for DM...

But the talent of Fafa doesn't stop with production. He plays too in the most famous clubs of the world, cementing a reputation of a jack-of-all-trades dj, playing the finest in deep-techy house, electro, techno and all time classics.

A list of few clubs he played recently: Mykonos (Cavo Paradiso), Singapore (Centro), Ibiza (Pacha), Riga (Nautilus), Stuttgart (M1), Bruxelles (Fuse), Sydney (Tank), Tbilissi (Music Hall Adjara), Miami (Nikki Beach), Paris (Redlight)...

As a very prolific artist, Fafa runs too since 2001 his own label, Hypnotic, whose releases are played by the most famous international djs (Deep Dish, Danny Tenaglia, Wally Lopez, Ralph Lawson, David Duriez...)

Another chance to ear Fafa play is to listen to his show on Radio FG/ Paris, biggest electronic music radio in France, every Saturday night from 2 to 3 am, or to attend his famous Hypnotic Parties, once a month at Redlight.
