Franck de Villeneuve is an artist of the collective
diprogress
Franck de Villeneuve, artist of the south of France,
is DJ and composer of electronic music since the early 90s.
He has played DJ and live in numerous raves and clubs of Europe with famous artists like Miss Kittin, Paul Kalkbrenner, M.A.N.D.Y., Luke Slater, Valentino Kanzyani, Steve Law aka Zen Paradox, Agoria, MyMy, Juan Trip, Mlle Caro, Electric Rescue, Laurent Hô, Zen Paradox, DJ Paulette, Jonhatan Jewel, John Thomas, Gilles le gamin, Marco Bailey, Tonio, Djul'z, Miloch, Angel Molina, Sergio Patricio, Jack de Marseille, (...).
He has been resident and artistic director of numerous clubs as the Rachdingue in Spain, the Crypte in France ; he has been included in many collectives like cybersonic tribe, maoris, brain h@ckers, tpmg, arkadys (...) before 1999. At this date he instigated his own collective : it will become later diprogress. This new energy allowed him to play live-act or DJ in foreign countries, even far away, in the indian ocean. He performed three different live-acts during this period, all with a particular concept, each with a own set of machines. He played DJ with FX also, to perform more closer to live. He organised events in the art domain, mixing his music with paintings or installations. He also worked since 2001 with TV for his particular sound design, a mix of electro and classical. In 2005 he organized with the collective parties with a humanitarian goal, like “Extend Art to Human”, a tour for AIDS organisation.
Actually Franck is preparing a new concept named LA FF with Freeda, dancer from the collective. The concept is a complete show with live-act, visuals, and dance-show (also available since January as a 2 hours DJ set with dance-show soon with visuals).
His productions are varied : he achieved in 1997 the generic of the Festival of the Mediterranean experimental movie, relieved in cinema and to the television by M6 and south FR3; an ambient track published at BMG, that he achieved in 1998 with Laurence Martinez, violinist of tour live of Laurent Garnier ; the piece ' Just Married', electro - jazz fusion that allows him, in 1999, to be nominated to Groove Sessions of the FNAC by a jury presided by Frédéric Galiano.
In 2000 he took his first production vinyl & cd under the pseudo of MewiMewi, on the Mexican label Mil Record, by remixing the collective Nortec. The piece radiates on Tijuana and finally on the musical newspapers of Britain and is taken 2 years later on the English label SONIC360. This remix has been taken since on the labels Nettwerk America and Head+Arms.
In December 2006 loukoum records took a remix and in march 2007 a 4 tracks album the 'deVil E.P.', all released digitally worldwide ...
Franck also has his own company in France as a composer and sound designer in varied domains as contemporary art, theatre, events, movies, tv documentaries ...
