Okain debut on the decks started around 1999 when he was 15. At this time he enjoyed spinning House & Techno tracks to his friends. Influenced by Laurent Garnier, he, within the next two years, was offered the decks of a club to play a bimonthly 5 hours techno set.

Since then he has played in the hottest spots in Paris included Rex Club & Social Club just to name a few. He also became a regular DJ for the legendary Dimuschi parties with his friends Paul Ritch & Thomas Muller.

In 2007, after a year of sound engineering studies Paul & Him released their first ep as Handycraft on Kickboxer label.

Since then Okain released several eps on different labels including Tsuba, Bpitch Control & french label Jetaime Records. His productions have been granted support from the likes of Ellen Allien, Loco Dice, Sebo K, or Slam.
