Alan Braxe is responsible for some of the most enduring hits of the French house scene. He achieved worldwide success as one-third of Stardust, whose only single, 1998's inescapable "Music Sounds Better with You," sold over three million copies. Braxe then founded Vulture Music and released several major club singles, often with co-producer Fred Falke, which drew from disco and '80s pop influences. The well-received compilation The Upper Cuts appeared in 2005, and Braxe became an in-demand remixer, adding the French touch to songs by Beyoncé, Kylie Minogue, Jamiroquai, and others. He occasionally released solo tracks and collaborations with producers like Kris Menace, and switched to an analog setup at the end of the 2010s, producing efforts such as The Ascent EP (2019). Collaborating with his cousin DJ Falcon, he released the Step by Step EP in 2022.
