OK first, intro…. I am Alicia and I’m American living in Paris for the past seven years. I met Hadrien in Paris and he used to dress like those preppy east coasters (am I allowed to say that??) so I guess that’s going way back. I am a photographer and as well event promoter for numerous clubs. I enjoy the night life and the music! So basically I’ll be writing a lot about Paris night life and it’s DJs. So here goes…. Teki Latex!
Teki Latex or Julien Pradeyrol was born in Paris in 1978. He was a member of French rap group, TTC as well as the co-founder of hip hop/independent electro label, Institubes.
TTC was formed in Paris around the 1990's and consisted of three members. After the 2007 tour, the group decided to break and go their own ways. Institubes was founded in 2003. Under Institubes, there is Sound Pellegrino Label which Julien is in charge of.
Teki Latex spins all around the world (London, Oslo, Stockholm, Paris, etc). Not only Parisians have fallen in love with this amazing DJ. He's able to mix hip hop with electronic music in major clubs (such as Le Baron and Showcase in Paris) and has everyone dance their asses off on the dance floor. TTC was very popular back in the day but Julien was able to make a name for himself.
Julien is definitely a character. Not only is his appearance completely bad ass but so is his personality. Every time I see him, he first makes a entrance, always bringing his posse with him. He makes sure to greet everyone with a huge smile. I've had the pleasure of hearing him spin on numerous occasions and even partying with him backstage. He's super fun to party with yet he's very chill and not arrogant at all. When he spins, he’s always got a crew right by him, he’s not a sucker for the spotlight, he shares his DJ set with his friends and allows fans to come up on stage. He knows how to get the crowd going!!
Look for Teki Latex fan page on facebook so you can follow where he plays, news, and updates.
