About Materia Prima
From an early age, Materia Prima has been drawn to world music, particularly
influenced by the traditional rhythms of his roots. In 2017, he began exploring
musical sets, fusing genres such as Afrobeats and Hip-Hop. His repertoire has
since expanded to include new styles like Amapiano and Afrohouse.
He is passionate about creating warm, immersive atmospheres, carefully shaping
the rhythm and energy of his sessions. He loves the warm-up, guiding the
audience through different moods and moments of the night—surprising and
connecting along the way. His dive into Afrohouse emerged organically through
exploration and musical learning, marking the beginning of his journey as a
producer.
Main gigs: Café Berlín, Clamores Club, Sala Villanos, El Sótano, Mística
Edition, Macera Club, and Casa Suecia (Madrid); as well as Puerto Rico
Club (Hanover), Ottawa Palace (Ottawa), and La Porte (Montreal).
He dreams of creating Afrohouse music that incorporates the sounds of his native
Cameroon and other parts of the world, with the goal of continuing to surprise and
connect through music.
In addition to his DJ career, he also works as a model, serving as a brand
ambassador for DVLD and having modeled for SSENSE SKIMS.
