Michael Sahpé is a multi-instrumentalist musician, DJ, and maker of playful sounds that draw inspiration from ambient, synth-pop, and various forms of club music. Known for his melodic productions with an emotional touch, his music is heavily influenced by a hybrid of synths, electronics, and club culture. Combining his in-depth classical musical training, his sound palette is tempered by a vivacious charge and self-disciplined approach to composition. He has been releasing under aliases “Sahpé” (house, tech house), “Forgetting Factor” (chillout), and “mikaelantony” (electro, acid, techno), on labels like Preset, In Fact, Arabica, Avatara, Angry Monkey, Dobara, Baroque Music, People Of The Light (POTL), Love International, Felt, and with more releases soon! Sahpé has a long-standing run as a skilful DJ in various clubs in the UK (like Club1001/Werkhaus and Corsica Studios), France, and Greece, as well as a 2-year stint on London’s Hoxton FM and a current radio show on Aaja Music. Sahpé’s DJ sets tap into club-intelligent music and blend cross-genre gems with unexpected flashbacks that take diverse cues; from sunny tribal house to tech-house and underground minimal, to electro and techno when the crowd craves it. “Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination and life to everything.” Plato
