Yuksek (Pierre-Alexandre Busson) is a French electronic music producer, remixer and DJ born in 1977, native of Reims, France. After playing the piano for ten years at a conservatoire, he took part in several bands such as Klanguage, whose first album was released in 2007. He created his first tracks as Yuksek in 2006 and then started to perform successfully as a DJ all over the world. At the same time, his first EPs and remixes were released on labels such as Relish, I'm a cliché, Kitsuné, Xploited and Citizen.
His debut album, Away from the Sea, was released on February 9, 2009. Including the singles Tonight and Extraball, this album received a lot of media attention (for instance he was interviewed on the famous French TV show Le Grand Journal de Canal+).
After touring for 2 years, Yuksek released his second album, Living on the Edge of Time,on June 13, 2011. This album – like the debut single On a Train – took a pop direction but Yuksek’s electronic flow was still there. Yuksek has also been involved in many other musical projects such as The Krays (with Brodinski) and Peter & The Magician (with Stephen Fasano, ex-Aeroplane).
December 2011 will see Yuksek play the renowned New Year festival Rhythm and Vines in Gisborne, New Zealand, before heading to Field Day music festival in Sydney, Australia on New Years Day 2012.
