Play House (French pronunciation: [plɛ uːs]) is a DJ and music producer based in Paris, France.[2] He produces house music, with influences from afro house and deep house styles.[3][4][5]

Career

Play House began performing in the Paris electronic music scene and is associated with the contemporary French house movement.[2][6] Between 2024 and 2026, he performed at several Parisian venues, including Titi Palacio, Le Beho, and The People Belleville.[7] He has performed internationally, with appearances in the electronic music scene of Malmö, Sweden.[4]

By 2026, his work gained expanded international FM radio rotation, notably in Italy on stations such as Radio Dance Network and Primantenna FM, in Algeria on Ifrikya FM and Misk FM.[8][5][9]

He is the founder of the electronic record label Play House Sound, which organizes house, afro house, and minimal electronic music events in Paris.[10][11] DJ Play House is considered part of a generation of French house producers contributing to the evolution of the Paris electronic music scene.[12] Play House distributes most of his music via open-access repositories and streaming platforms to bypass financial barriers. This model aims to democratize electronic music for listeners and creators with limited resources.[13][3]

In 2025, he released the single "Stop Calling Me," which incorporated elements of UK garage into his established house style.[14] He also released the deep house single "FEEL", noted for its minimalist arrangement and groove-led rhythm.[15] He then expanded his catalog with the track "WE", which incorporates influences from Michael Jackson and the collective Keinemusik.[16]

His single "Trompeta Salvaje" was performed DJ Shinsky in Bali, Indonesia.[17] His discography includes over 100 recordings, such as "Lego Acid Music Machine",[18] "Marijuana",[19] and an Afro-house remix of Bob Sinclar's "Take It Easy on Me".[20][21] As of mid-2026, his work has surpassed 5 million streams across digital platforms, with a production style influenced by Black Coffee and HUGEL.[22]
