Mr. Blasé
Bio
Mr. Blasé is a DJ and producer from Johannesburg, South Africa.
His early youth was spent on the vibrant underground scene in Cape Town. It is this broad exposure that informed his production skills. Carl Cox, Ricardo Villalobos, Luciano, The Chemical Brothers, Groove Armada and Daft Punk are some of his influences within the electronic music sphere.
In 2014, under another moniker, he was hand-picked by legendary BBC radio DJ and Worldwide FM founder, Gilles Peterson, to co-produce the veteran DJ's Cuban project 'Havana Cultura Soundclash' along with the brand, Havana Club. Here he worked with 11 other producers around the world, collaborating with Cuban greats as well as the new “Celia Cruz” of Cuban Music, Dayme Arocena.
This gave Mr. Blasé invaluable experience and would form the basis of him deciding to pursue music more seriously. In 2018, he launched a label imprint, Odd One Inn.
