For over fifteen years, GGGG — the alias of French producer, DJ and composer Gabriel — has been steadily forging his own path through the electronic underground.
As co-founder and director of D.KO Records, he has played a central role in shaping a label deeply rooted in the Paris scene, driven by a distinctly collective and independent spirit. Behind the decks, his approach is equally resistant to rigid genre lines: house, electro and acid techno collide through raw grooves, machine funk and instinct. Over the years, that versatility has taken him across some of Paris’ most defining dancefloors, from Rex Club and Concrete to La Machine du Moulin Rouge, as well as Tresor in Berlin and Quinta Mira Rio, one of Lisbon’s landmark underground open-air venues.
Beyond the booth, GGGG has developed an equally distinctive language in the studio. Deeply immersed in modular synthesis, he treats hardware as an instrument in its own right, translating improvisation and experimentation into both live performances and recorded work. His productions balance the physicality of club music with a more introspective, at times cinematic sensibility — melodic without losing their edge, intricate without becoming clinical.
That language runs through an extensive catalogue spanning D.KO Records, Bardouin Music and Firescope Records. In 2022, he released Gazé, a twelve-track album on Steven Rutter’s Firescope, followed by the expansive eight-track Polydel EP on D.KO in 2023. Releases including Vermina and Cœur de Glace, alongside a steady flow of collaborations and remixes, have continued to broaden his sonic territory.
2026 marks another chapter, with LIVE PROJECT [D.KO38] on D.KO Records — accompanied by remixes from Kosh and ANNA Z — and Rug’a’Dub Vol.1, a collaborative project with Mad Rey.
Now working from his studio in Normandy, GGGG operates at the intersection of club music, sound design and composition. Alongside his own output, he produces for other artists and composes original music for film, television series and documentaries.
Whether through the immediacy of a DJ set, the unpredictability of a modular live performance or the detailed architecture of his studio work, the thread remains the same: music driven by machines, but never stripped of emotion.
