Raised in France, Bacprop draws inspiration and aesthetic from his early love of European rave culture. Between his career as an AI researcher and his passion for exploring hidden places, he has organized many tunnel and forest raves in the San Francisco Bay Area. His latest ID Showcase Mix 2025 gives you a rare look into his influences and how he turns it into something unique on the bass scene. Don't miss him throw down at Wobble Wash next month with @luupymusic @sandandsubs @good_stuff_records @camp.bloom.coffee Song: Gate Array - @bacprop @wufu

I almost lost the plot in 2025. Moving twice across state lines in the past 2 years, and being far from my existing friends group, made me spend too much time in online rave spaces. It's too easy to get sucked into what other people say: what the scene is supposed to be, what music is supposed to mean, who is this supposed to be for, etc. And online discourse rarely rewards nuance. I was starting to feel like I didn't fit in anymore. Eventually I remembered that it's best to disconnect from all that: online discourse is heavily distorted compared to real life. And growing up as an autistic teen aspiring DJ on the other side of the world, I remembered that not fitting in was actually the whole reason I started making music. So I'm grateful that I got to play lots of great shows this year in SF, SoCal, Denver, and India. I set up an amazing music studio in my new home of Chicago, and I got to release lots of original content including my second ID showcase mix, and the positive comments and interactions I got from that mean everything! See you soon in 2026, hopefully more offline than online :)

Happy to release a new swingy housy old-schooly track with @nukumori.sound out on the "heatmeltsice" compilation alongside some amazing artists! Out now on @soulfulxnature , link in bio or heatmeltsice.bandcamp.com All proceeds will go to organizations defending immigrant rights and immigrant legal services (more details on slide 4) I almost never share political things on this page, mainly due to my fear of being misunderstood or miscategorized in an increasingly polarized world, but this is an issue that I've cared about ever since I moved to the US 12 years ago. I know first-hand how challenging navigating the US immigration system can be, and I'm happy to help others go through that successfully in times where the government is making it harder and harder. (Side note: if you happen to have a very different opinion on this topic, and if you want to know more about why I'm on this side of it, let's use this as an opportunity for dialogue. My DM are open, and I'll be happy to share more about my knowledge and experience with US immigration if you want)

Are we living in a Post Truth society? @bacprop and @franckhlmartin present “Post Truth” . “Post-Truth” by Franck Martin and Bacprop is a compelling and thought-provoking track that seamlessly merges dance, electronic, and pop elements with a dark, experimental edge. The track is defined by its intense and atmospheric vibe, driven by heavy basslines, intricate percussion, and haunting synth melodies that create a sense of urgency and reflection. With its fast tempo and rhythmic energy, “Post-Truth” is designed for listeners who seek music that is both upbeat and deeply contemplative. . The lyrics, “So you want a dictature, so you want a master, give me your riches, give me your body, kneel down, forget your past and future, there will be no vote”, serve as a powerful political commentary, resonating with the current global climate marked by the rise of populism and fascism. The track’s themes of control and submission are a stark reminder of the political dynamics at play in today’s world, making it a poignant and timely piece of music. The male vocals add emotional depth, making “Post-Truth” a standout track for those who appreciate music that challenges societal norms and provokes thought. . #newmusic #dolbyatmos #posttruth #idm #edm #electonicmusic #spatialaudio
