DJ Elfigo Interview

The 30 second intro – Who are you?

I am Belgo-French DJ and Producer Elfigo based in Ibiza. I am 13 years old. Last summer I performed at Tomorrowland 2023, on the emerging talent stage ‘Rise’ after being spotted on social media (Ed – Elfigo has 360k Instagram Followers /60k followers on TikTok with more than 10 million views).

Inspired by iconic French DJs and producers such as Daft Punk, DJ Snake and Justice, Bob Sinclar, I was raised on a blend of House, Electro, Funk, Hip-Hop, and Jazz, all of which have influenced my musical taste. I perform regularly on the island’s top beach clubs, and host a weekly slot on local Ibiza radio station Startdust. I have been invited this year to perform in the Solar Storm Festival, a fan zone for the Euro’s in Germany 2024 while a few other festival appearances in the works like camp Bestival in Dorset (UK) in July.

I also begun a journey into music production last summer working on techno-house tracks, and recently released three tunes which are available across major streaming platforms

How would most people know you? (What are you most well known for?) 

Known for my social media , I blend music from the 80s, 90s, and 2000s with contemporary electronic beats, creating mashups that have garnered a massive following.

My DJ journey as DK Elfigo began at age of 8, and in the last five years, I have developed skills that many seasoned DJs aspire to achieve. With a growing presence on Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube, I push the boundaries of creativity and innovation.
