In the bewitching meanders of music in the 2000s, an amazed artist found his way through free parties, marking the beginning of a passion that would never leave him. This enthusiast is Yann Costaz, also known as YannOO, who has since devoted his life to DJing and music production.
A journey of initiation:
The discovery of techno music was a revelation for Yann. From that moment on, he committed himself body and soul to the world of techno, beginning his introduction to DJing and music production. Since 2009, Yann has been generously sharing his know-how through advice, tips and training, becoming a key reference thanks to his blog and videos, as well as themed training courses such as “La Guerre Des Potards”.
An Enriching Bibliography :
After the success of his book “Apprendre À Mixer Pour Devenir DJ” in 2015, Yann has added a new stone to his creative edifice with the recent release of “La Production Musicale Pour Les Artistes Underground” at the end of 2023. The fruit of several months’ work, this 400-page book is aimed at artists of all levels, from beginner to advanced, covering nine thematic chapters ranging from music production equipment to communication, composition, arranging, mixing, mastering, artistic career and best practices.
A Unique Pedagogical Approach :
The challenge didn’t stop with writing the content, but Yann also took on the management of the book’s editing, the layout for different versions and the graphic design of the cover. This process, though familiar, required patience, but the motivation to share his knowledge and help other artists bring their creations to fruition was the driving force behind every step.
Beyond Technological Facilities :
Yann stresses the importance of going beyond the facilities offered by technological advances, notably the Artificial Intelligence built into audio plug-ins. He encourages his students not to settle for simplicity or prefabricated work, but to acquire the keys needed to deepen their understanding of music production.
Innovative DJing and Music Production Training :
