Before stepping into the world of electronic music, French DJ and producer Carsen was charting a completely different course — as an aerospace engineer. With a passion for precision and an obsession for innovation, Carsen transferred the same meticulous dedication he once applied to rocket design into crafting explosive beats and electrifying DJ sets. Today, he stands as one of the most promising rising stars in the tech house music scene, merging engineering precision with raw artistic flair.
Inspired by the Greats, Driven to Be Greater
Carsen’s musical identity has been shaped by some of the most influential names in the electronic music industry, including Mau P, James Hype, Dom Dolla, and Matt Sassari.

With a powerful mix of deep basslines, groovy rhythms, and innovative arrangements, Carsen delivers tracks that are as fresh as they are unforgettable.
Breakthrough Success with “Patience”
The turning point in Carsen’s career came in 2022 with the release of his hit track “Patience”, which surpassed one million streams on Spotify and introduced his sound to a global audience. This breakout success was no stroke of luck — it was the result of years spent honing his production skills and experimenting with genre fusion. Carsen quickly followed up with tracks like “Oh God”, “Black Tap”, and “Gold Digger”, released under Soave Records, further establishing his reputation for bold, genre-pushing production.
Electrifying Remixes and DJ Performances
Not only has Carsen made waves with his original productions, but his remix of Dennis Ferrer’s classic “Hey Hey” showcased his ability to breathe new life into legendary tracks. His creative reinterpretations resonate with both long-time house fans and newer audiences. On stage, Carsen is a natural — his high-energy performances and magnetic stage presence have earned him spots alongside top-tier artists both in France and internationally. One of his most memorable moments was a surprise back-to-back set with Martin Garrix during the JBL Snow Party in 2022 — a defining performance that turned heads across the industry.

Carsen’s growing presence in the French electronic music scene is undeniable. His residency at R2, a renowned club with a 4,000-person capacity, has solidified his status as one of the most exciting talents to watch.
