Elle s'appelle Santana. Lui, Sylvain. Ils sont CLAAP! Ensemble, ils écrivent des chansons pop avant-garde. Ils forment aussi un duo de DJ's redoutables, dont les sets très inspirés et les performances live les amènent à jouer dans le monde entier.
Influencés par les cultures pop et club, Santana et Sylvain aiment faire danser. Ils puisent leur inspiration dans la diversité de leurs racines africaines, sud-américaines et occidentales, de leurs voyages et de leurs rencontres. La musique de CLAAP! est une invitation à la liberté, une virée au-delà des frontières terrestres et musicales, sans limite ni étiquette, mais toujours avec la légèreté pop en toile de fond.
Le son CLAAP! résonne sur des radios telles que Radio Nova, Rinse, Dublab (Los Angeles), The Lot (NYC), Kiosk (Bruxelles), Radio FG, dans des campagnes mode comme celles de Louis Vuitton ou de Vogue, dans des émissions telles que Beats in Space de Tim Sweeney et sur de nombreuses compilations comme celle du magazine Technikart.
Leur titre « Dimanche » totalise 4 millions d'écoutes sur Spotify.
CLAAP! est signé sur des labels tels que Partyfine de Yuksek, Exploited à Berlin, La Belle à Paris ou encore 2MR à New York. Le groupe collabore aussi avec des artistes tels que Feadz sur Ed Banger, le rappeur Karlito de la Mafia K'1 Fry, Rico The Wizzard (fondateur du label « Crydamoure » avec Guy-Man des Daft Punk, compositeur du hit « I Fell It Coming » de The Weeknd et producteur de l'album « Sexuality » de Sébastien Tellier) ou encore Mike Simonetti (ex-Italians Do It Better) — avec qui il sort le vinyle « Release » — hit acid house de la scène club underground classé dans le top 50 de Resident Advisor.
Santana et Sylvain composent aussi des musiques pour des grandes maisons, du théâtre ou encore des jeux vidéos.
Avec plus de quinze ans d'expérience derrière les platines, Santana et Sylvain ont toujours le bon son au bon moment. Qu’il s’agisse de clubs, festivals, pool parties, shows radio ou cocktails, ils hypnotisent leur auditoire au moyen de pépites musicales collectées passionnément au fil des ans qu’ils saupoudrent de leurs propres productions, remixes ou edits.
En concert, Santana est au chant et aux percussions tandis que Sylvain est aux machines. La richesse de leur musique n’a d’égale que leur unique alchimie qui irradie chacune de leurs performances.
Soutenu par des artistes tels que Pete Tong, Erol Alkan, Yuksek, Michel Gaubert, Pedro Winter, Chloé, Jennifer Cardini, Todd Edwards et bien d'autres, CLAAP! a diffusé sa délicieuse musique en France et à l’étranger, des petits clubs parisiens aux festivals internationaux, en passant passant par les raves underground new-yorkaises et les scènes live de Los Angeles — Petit Palace (Paris), Festival international du film de Cannes, Paradise City (Bruxelles), Calvi On the Rocks (Corse), Decks On The Beach (Beyrouth), Le Bain (NYC), La Clairière (Paris), Le Baron (Tokyo, NYC, Paris), Leonor (Mexico), Echoplex (Los Angeles), Le Printemps de Bourges. Le duo se produit aussi lors d'événements privés prestigieux pour Cartier, The Andy Warhol Museum (Pittsburgh), Mumm Champagne et JF Chen Antiques (LA).
CLAAP! brille comme un rayon de soleil sur le paysage musical.
They live in France. Her name is Santana. His, Sylvain. They are CLAAP! Together, they write avant-garde pop songs. They also are well versed DJ's and very talented live artists who have been performing all over the world.
Influenced by pop culture and club culture, Santana and Sylvain enjoy making people dance. They also draw their inspiration from the diversity of their African, South American and French roots, from their travels and from their encounters. CLAAP!’s music is an invitation to freedom, a journey beyond terrestrial and musical boundaries, without limits or etiquette, but always infused with a pop je-ne-sais-quoi.
CLAAP!’s music is featured on radio stations such as Dublab (Los Angeles), The Lot (NYC), Radio Nova (Paris), Rinse FM, Kiosk (Brussels), in fashion campaigns like those of Louis Vuitton or Vogue, in shows such as Beats in Space by Tim Sweeney and on many compilations like Technikart magazine’s.
Their track “Dimanche” has been streamed 4 million times on Spotify.
CLAAP! is signed on labels such as Yuksek's Partyfine, Exploited in Berlin, La Belle in Paris or 2MR in New York. They collaborate with artists such as Feadz on Ed Banger, Rico The Wizzard (founder of the label Crydamoure with Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo from Daft Punk, co-writer of The Weeknd's mega-hit "I Feel It Coming" and producer of Sébastien Tellier's LP "Sexuality"), or Mike Simonetti (ex-Italians Do It Better) - with whom they released the vinyl “Release” - acid house hit in the underground club scene ranked in Resident Advisor’s top 50.
Santana and Sylvain also compose music for Maisons de Couture, theatre plays and video games.
On stage, Santana sings and plays the percussions while Sylvain is on synths duties.
The richness of their music is matched only by their complicity, which radiates through each of their concerts. CLAAP! seduces every audience it performs for, from clubs such as Petit Palace in Paris to festivals such as Calvi On The Rocks in Corsica or Decks On The Beach in Beirut, through underground parties in New York and concert venues in Los Angeles.
With over 10 years behind the decks as DJ’s, Santana and Sylvain always have the right track for the right time. Whether it's from the most exclusive clubs such as Petit Palace in Paris to festivals in Belgium, private parties in NYC, pool parties in LA, radio shows and cocktails, CLAAP!’s selection is sonic seduction in the air while hypnotizing the crowd with exclusive delights from their producer friends or with their own unique edits, remixes and original productions.
Supported by artists such as Pete Tong, Erol Alkan, Yuksek, Michel Gaubert, Pedro Winter, Chloé, Jennifer Cardini, Todd Edwards and many more, CLAAP! has been dropping its sweet and unique sound in festivals and venues all around the world — International Film Festival (Cannes), Paradise City (Brussels), Calvi On the Rocks (Corsica), Decks On The Beach (Beirut), Le Bain (NYC), La Clairière (Paris), Le Baron (Tokyo, NYC, Paris), Leonor (Mexico City), Echoplex (LA), etc. The duo also performs at private events for prestigious brands such as Cartier, The Andy Warhol Museum (Pittsburgh), Mumm Champagne and JF Chen Antiques (LA).
