Damien simonot is 27 years old french, born in paris and presently living in the south of germany in a little town called constance. he stumbled into dnb whilst doing an alternative-rock show at a local radio-station. “I can´t remember why but somebody gave me teebee´s “human raptile”, so basically that must have been around 2000/2001. that tune simply fascinated me.” Since then dnb has been a major part of proktah´s life… first as an mc then as a producer and now finally also as dj. He started producing around 2004 under the alias of “Frenchi” and kept on going, producing all kinds of styles. Concentrating on the more technical aspects of this sound since 2006 he then changed his name into Proktah. His style is heavily influenced by the pioneers of neuro-funk. But sticking to his musical roots -reggae and alternative -rock-,proktah´s style is an unmistakable one within the wide range of today´s neuro-funk.
