2013 – Agoria (FR)
In the past 15 years, Agoria has distinguished himself in the world of electronic music by how far he is willing to stretch himself. As a DJ, he pulled in elements from every part of the music world – jazz, classical, house, techno, you name it – and made a name for himself as a man who can keep a dance floor moving while simultaneously wondering what could possibly be coming next.
For Agoria, however, that anything-goes attitude is a little bit deeper than with other artists who could rightfully say the same thing. In addition to running a label and being a DJ/producer, he’s now a successful visual artist, working with fashion label Courrèges, Virginia arist Kid A, and last year’s debut of audio-visual spectacular FORMS.
All that said, as much as Agoria’s sound has developed over the years, it’s also maintained the same deep-house-and-techno focus on smoothly building tension and making you dance all night long. Go dance to things you thought you would never dance to.
