WANER a.k.a Erwan Roy, has been rocking the Paris Underground for the past 20 years, and has been a dedicated servant to House Music in the process. He is the President and driving force behind one of Paris’s longest running Web Radio Shows “Electroset”, on www.wafradio.com, which has been broadcasting Minimal Tech House for over 10 years. The station has featured many Top DJ’s, Live Acts and Visual Artists playing the circuit in clubs all over Paris and the rest of France.
DJ’s such as Kevin Saunderson, Derrick May, DJ Sneak, Laurent Garnier and Daft Punk have been a big influence on Waner’s Musical Style, and since forming WAF Radio, he has been broadcasting House Music to the ears of the many dedicated listeners 5 times a week, every week for the last decade. He is also the Promoter and Resident DJ for After Soundays @ 3 E’scales, one of Paris’s many after party venues, and a favourite with many of the cities Top DJ’s and Influential Clubbers.
Waner started out his DJ career in the late 1995’s, playing at various bars and clubs around Paris, with an affection for playing in the smaller rooms, where he felt more of an underground vibe, and more at one with his public. As a DJ he shows an incredible capacity to understand the crowd and with an ear to drop what is appropriate for the Dance Floor at a particular time, Waner is truly the right man for the Minimal Techno and Electro House enthusiasts.
He has played at many top nights around Paris which include DJ Sets at (Vaults St-Honoured, Cithea Nova, Concorde Atlantic, The Alternative, The Scene, Luna, Batofar, New Morning, Uncontrollable Cabinet, Techno Parade, Nouveau Casino, Gravel Plateau, Shannon Pub, Maroquinerie, Café on the Beach, Folie's Pigalle, Coffee Leopard, 3rd Place, Anything, Tender Offer, Babalu, Coffee K, Berimbar, Show Put, Mezzanine of Alcazar, Studio 287, Caves St Sabin and L’ Opus Café.
In early 2009, he was selected to headline the FTV (Fashion TV) Parties in Mumbai and Calcutta (INDIA), and also performed at ZENZI, one of India’s leading electronic music venues. Also, this year has seen Waner performing at the Nuits Sonores Festival, in Lyon (France), one of Europe’s largest Electronic Music Festivals as part of the Mosquito Massala Spring Tour 2009.
2008, also as part of the Mosquito Massala Collective (MoM), he performed at The Woodstower Festival in a natural park in the Rhone Alps region, and The Visual Invaders Festival, up in the mountains in the French Alps, close to the Swiss/Italian border.
✖ VJ Profile.
Not only is he an accomplished DJ, but Erwan Roy a.k.a Waner has for the last two years been releasing his creative flair by taking on the responsibility of being the second VJ within the Mosquito Massala Collective (MoM), and alongside Viktor Furiani, has helped create and put together large-scale installations in clubs and festivals across France.
In the short time that Waner has been VJ’ing, he has secured VJ residences at The Redline Parties in Paris and has been supporting various collectives all over France, such as The Scratch Bandit Crew for the Battle of the DJ’s 2009, The Galaticut Crew (Lyon) and Keep on Smiling Collective (KoS) from Paris, as well as providing Visuals for the WAF Radio Shows.
His inspirations come in many forms, from experimental cinema and architecture, to graffiti and tribal influences from across the globe. He recently worked on a large-scale installation with The Mosquito Massala Collective at the Mine Museum in St Etienne, where he worked alongside Frederick Kahn, an accomplished music conductor and producer from Lyon (France).
Erwan Roy is the engine that keeps the MoM collective pushing forward, and with the many skills that he brings to the table and his never ending multi-tasking from DJ’ing and VJ’ing, to sound and visual installations, to designing flyers, controlling the facebook groups and maintaining the websites, to running a radio station, Waner is without a doubt the team player any collective would be proud to have in their ranks.
