Listen first
The songs that matter to you, the ones you would rather leave out, the ages and cultures coming together. These details give the celebration its musical direction.
DJ & musical direction · France & beyond
An ear for the room.
An eye for the whole.
I am Sylvain Du Monteil. My starting point is simple: understand the people, listen to the place, then find the music that belongs between them.
The background
More than twenty years behind the decks, from clubs and festivals to events in France and abroad. Work in production and independent labels has shaped my ear; performing for different audiences has taught me to adapt. Today, that experience informs an international, open-format approach: a musical identity that leaves room for yours.
Build the arc
An intimate beginning can lead to a generous dance floor. We discuss the pace of the evening, the transitions and the moments that need their own space.
Work with the setting
I discuss each space with your planner and venue: where guests need to hear clearly, where the equipment can recede, and how light can change without competing with the architecture. Sound, lighting and backup requirements are defined before the event.
Leave room for the night
A musical brief gives us a direction. The people in the room give it life. The final selection follows the energy as it unfolds.
A direct conversation, from the first idea to the final musical brief.
The work behind the room.
Music and production belong in the same conversation. A ceremony, dinner and late-night dance floor may each need a different sound position, a different level and a different kind of light.
The aim is simple: guests experience the moment, while the planning that holds it together stays in the background.
For planners & creative teams
Share the running order, visual direction and venue constraints. We can agree who handles each cue, where sound and lighting are needed, and how one part of the celebration hands over to the next. The musical brief then becomes a useful working document for everyone involved.
