About HUGEL
​Born and raised in Marseille, a vibrant port city by the Mediterranean Sea in the South of France, HUGEL's musical journey was shaped by the rhythms of funk, disco, and soul. His mother, a passionate lover of classic music, instilled in him a deep appreciation for these genres from an early age. However, it wasn’t until he was 16 years old that he discovered his true calling—DJing.

Growing up in a city known for its diverse cultures and lively energy, HUGEL quickly became captivated by the world of vinyl records, immersing himself in the underground electronic music scene. Early influences like Carl Cox, Laurent Garnier, Daft Punk, Amine Edge, and David Guetta were key in shaping his musical identity. With a natural ear for rhythm and melody, HUGEL began refining his DJing skills, quickly gaining a reputation as a talented young artist.

As his passion for music grew, HUGEL delved into the world of production, honing his craft over the next few years. His ability to blend powerful basslines, infectious grooves, and melodic hooks soon led him to become a true hit-maker, with his tracks gaining attention across the global dance music scene.

The Latin & Afro-House Sound

In the mid-2010s, HUGEL's sound began to evolve as he explored the rich musical influences of Latin culture and Afro-house. After spending time in Ibiza, one of the world’s most iconic dance music hubs, he absorbed the island's vibrant energy and culture, which would go on to deeply influence his production style. His time in Ibiza ignited his passion for Latin rhythms, tropical beats, and Afro-inspired percussion, which became key elements in his sound.

HUGEL’s unique fusion of house music with Latin and Afro beats led to the creation of tracks that resonated deeply with fans worldwide. Among his standout hits were "Morenita" and "I Adore You," both of which skyrocketed in popularity, earning him a spot at the forefront of the global dance music scene.

Morenita became a breakout anthem, its infectious melody and Latin-inspired beats making it a club favorite and a staple in DJ sets across the world. The track not only showcased HUGEL’s ability to blend traditional rhythms with contemporary house music but also marked him as a pioneer in the Latin-house movement. Meanwhile, "I Adore You"captured the hearts of millions, with its soulful vocal hooks and deep, driving basslines elevating it to a mainstream hit, receiving massive airplay and becoming a crowd-pleaser at festivals and clubs alike.

International Success and Global Tours

As HUGEL’s music continued to captivate listeners, his reputation as one of the hottest DJ-producers in the world quickly spread. His electrifying performances, infectious energy, and signature Latin-infused sound earned him sold-out shows in cities across the United States, including Miami (at Space), New York (Superior Ingredients), and Los Angeles (Academy). His presence on the international festival circuit grew as well, with HUGEL gracing the stages of major events such as EDC Las Vegas, EDC Mexico, Tomorrowland, Lollapalooza, Parookaville, World Club Dome, and Mysteryland.

HUGEL’s captivating DJ sets, filled with both his own chart-topping tracks and the hottest Latin and Afro-house anthems, became a must-see experience for music lovers around the globe. His career hit new heights when he secured residencies at Pacha Ibiza and Ushuaïa, two of the island's most legendary clubs. These residencies allowed him to further solidify his status as one of the top names in the electronic music scene.
