DJ. Producer. Music Director. Venue founder. From Montréal to Phuket — building the new home of electronic music in Southeast Asia.
Four years.
One night.
Republic Pattaya opened four years ago with a dream and a sound system. Last night, French Montana headlined the 4 Year Anniversary — and the room remembered exactly why Republic landed on the DJ Mag Top 100 Clubs at #82. Warm-up and B2B by JoWaves. Unreal energy from the first beat to the last.
"For the team, for the city, for every person who ever stood on that dancefloor. Pattaya — you made this happen."
The DJ who built
his own stage.
French-Canadian by origin, Asia-based by choice. JoWaves stepped back behind the decks in 2022 — and rewrote everything in the three years that followed. From a comeback set to Tomorrowland Winter, three consecutive seasons at Ultra Croatia, and the music direction of one of the world's top 100 clubs, the arc is one of the fastest curves in the post-pandemic electronic scene.
Three seasons at Ultra Music Festival Croatia. Tomorrowland Winter 2026, plus Tomorrowland Thailand confirmed. Noa Beach Club Croatia (#10 DJ Mag 2025), Shôko Barcelona (#7 best club in the world), O Beach Ibiza. Invasion Festival Yangon presented by Heineken, and Thingyan Water Festival presented by Red Bull. Official DJ for AYO & TÉO — whose hit "Rolex" surpassed one billion YouTube streams. Tomorrowland Academy certified.
In January 2025, he became Music Director of Republic Club Pattaya. In less than six months, the club entered the DJ Mag Top 100 for the first time — debuting at #90. By 2026, climbed to #82. Now confirmed for Tomorrowland Thailand 2026 (booking confirmed, official announcement TBA), and co-developing the Republic Phuket complex on Bangla Road — Republic opens December 2026, Drip and Tulum follow in 2027.
