Trained as a classical pianist, Pierre-Alexandre Busson has an ear for melody and a penchant for bringing the keys front and centre. As Yuksek, he built his name on electrifying DJ sets—by the time he released his first full-length album, 2009's Away from the Sea, he was well known for his hard-hitting beats, gleaming synth lines, and chopped-up vocals. For all of his own hits, Yuksek's collaborations and remixes could've been enough to grow a career on their own. He's pumped out wild, explosive remixes for Moby, Lady Gaga, Phoenix and more, fusing pop and club tracks beautifully.
