Florent Hugel, known mononymously as HUGEL, is a Marseille born DJ and producer who has become a defining figure in the contemporary Latin house and Afro house scenes. His sound blends Mediterranean sunshine with percussive South American rhythms, often incorporating gritty textures and chopped vocal loops. After rising to international prominence with his viral remix of Bella Ciao, he established his own label, Make the Girls Dance Records, to curate his signature high energy aesthetic. He maintains a rigorous global touring schedule, performing at major festivals and holding residencies in iconic venues across Ibiza and beyond. His production style bridges the gap between underground club credibility and mainstream dancefloor appeal.
