AN INTERNATIONAL SUCCESS STORY!
“I’ve always priviledged the dance floors activity, first of all I’m a DJ and my goal is to turn the dance floor to make the clubbers dance.”

Antoine Clamaran, producer, author, composer and DJ for more than 20 years, makes the dance floors vibrate with know- how and passion. He’s been a pioneer and ambassador of the French stage and his diabolic sets meet the same success everywhere on the planet.
His eclectic style with powerful and rebellious beats of tribal sounds or filteres house keep influencing DJs and seducing the public of the whole world. Divided between afro rhythms and disco icons of the seventies like Donna Summer, Antoine Clamaran belongs now to a restricted circle of artists enjoying international recognition. Being more dynamic and creative than ever, he continues to develop his own career goals and to manage different labels he produces. Antoine Clamaran performs also in Mix Club and offers, every week, new sets transmitted on FG Di Radio and RTS. He’s also working on future release of new maxis and .... a new album!

AN EXCEPTIONAL CAREER:
“What I’m proud of is that I’ve got to the point where I’m now without advertising myself and with respect for everyone. I will quit as soon as I stop feeling the emotion I feel before, during and after my sets.”

Noticed debuts: It’s in 1982 that Antoine Clamaran starts his career of a DJ and gives his first performances with the plates from Whisky to Gogo. Having passed a few years mixing in provincial towns, in the suburbs and in some clubs in the capital, he doesn’t have to wait long before he gets noticed and is offered a time slot in a local broadcast of Fun Radio. In 1990 he is invited to play in Arthur’s in Geneva, considered as the nicest European club. Then he plays in Central Club, which will become Queen a couple of years later.

Enchanted Paris:
He is offered his first residency in Palace in 1991 to animate the famous Gay Tea Dance every Sunday. First accompanied by Laurent Gamier and David Guetta, soon he becomes the only DJ, as the others leave the broadcast. As long as Antoine remains at the plates, this top Parisian dub will not get empty, attracting almost 2000 followers at every session. It’s at this time that he composes his first piece soberly called GTD with a wink at his public from Gay Tea Dance.
Since 1992, after a takeover of Palace, Régine, the new owner, decides to entrust him with the music programming for the week-ends. Antoine keeps attracting crowds and mobilizes thousands of unconditional fans, addicted from now on to his innovative and eclectic sets. In 1995, Queen, interested in the new un-miss-able artist of the Parisian stage, offers him the dreamed position of the DJ of Absolutely Fabulous, a party ‘sat even today, under the name of Over Kitsch, is one of the most popular clubbing activity of the capital. Having a great deal of experience and an impressive CV, Antoine Clamaran and his friend Laurent Pautrat start producing numerous pieces which will become real hits like 400 Hz, Omega, Come into the Party or Safe sex.

The king of remix:
While he’s mixing with Dalida’s voice, he is noticed by Orlando, who considers him as a rare pearl able to realizing the remixes of his sister’s songs he’s been dreaming about for a long time. The album, released in 1996, meets a phenomenal success. Antoine Clamaran, the king of remix, becomes then the darling of major producers who fight for him to make him remix their stars: from Ricky martin to Dear or Alive passing by Gloria Estefan. Simultaneously, this recognition of the public is accompanied by the one of his colleagues (Calvin Stone, Charles, Schillings, David Guetta...) who court his talents. Jean-Michel Irre himself will invite him to participate in the project Oxygéne 8.

From the French plebiscite to the international fame:
Antoine animates then the broadcast eXtravadance in NRi with Di Flex. In 1998, under the name of Omega, he composes his greatest commercial success, a single called Dreaming of a Better World which will be sold in over 250 000 copies and will become number one of the clubs. This hit, accompanied by two other titles, will bring Antoine three gold records. The career of Antoine, already considered as a cult artiste, takes its entire international dimension after a performance during the first Winter Music Conference when he is notices by Cerrone.

An evolving sound:
Signing with the American label Filtered, Antoine Clamaran involves himself in house and releases his first albums under his name. Moving away from “commercial sounds, he creates music in his taste, a real crossroad of influences between filtered house, disco, hard tek and funk. Working with stars like Billy Paule Williams or Blue iames, singer from Basement iaxx, he starts performing in the whole world, from New York to Tokyo, passing by Ibiza.

Today:
A Di residing at FG Di Radio every Saturday night, a producer uniting 17 labels, an artist-reference of great names of house (Eric Morillo, Danny Rampling, Robie Rivera, Pete Tong...), Antoine is following his path with successfully.
