Fabrice Potec

Fabrice begins his career on the local FM radio landscape of Caen. He works as an on-air presenter and jingle / advertising producer, quickly developing a sharp ear for audio craftsmanship and broadcast production. These early years lay the foundations for his dual identity as both a radio voice and a music creator.

In 1989, Fabrice won an official remix contest organized in France by the Epic label, Sono magazine, and the DMC in England, represented by its France director, Wilfrid Debaize. The song to be remixed was “Don't Drop Bombs” by Liza Minnelli, produced by the Pet Shop Boys. This remix opened the doors for him to join the legendary English label, the “Disco Mix Club” (DMC), in 1990. Listen →

Fabrice joins Fun Radio, one of France's leading national youth radio networks, where he serves as a presenter and on-air producer. Working from the Fun Radio studios in Caen, he combines his radio duties with an increasingly intense passion for mixing and production. His time at Fun Radio runs until 1992.

A defining milestone. Fabrice enters the very closed circle of DMC remixers in England — the Disco Mix Club being the absolute global reference for DJ culture and remix craftsmanship. His debut Megamix of Paula Abdul, produced in the studios of Fun Radio in Caen, earns him his place among this elite community. This marks the beginning of a long and prolific relationship with the DMC label.

In 1990, Fabrice met two key figures at the iconic Parisian radio station “Maxximum” Fred Rister and Joachim Garraud. Fabrice collaborated with Fred Rister on the track named L.O.V.E. (French and Chic Mix) by the artist Abyale, released by CBS/SONY. And with Joachim Garraud (David Guetta’s first producer) on numerous remixes. This friendship has now lasted for over 35 years, despite the tragic passing of Fred Rister on August 28, 2019 🙏 R.I.P.
Listen to Fred latest release. He is determined to release this final song, with all proceeds going to the fight against the disease he has battled for over 30 years : Fred Rister - I Want A Miracle (feat. Sam Martin & Chris Willis). In 1990, Fabrice met two key figures at the iconic Parisian radio station “Maxximum”.

From 1991 onwards, Fabrice is recognized as an exceptional remixer who brings dancefloor-ready energy to classic standards through his French house sensibility. Several of his remixes are featured on official DMC "Dance Music Club" albums, cementing his status as a trusted remix artist on both sides of the Channel.

After his years at Fun Radio, Fabrice continues his national radio career at Europe 2, where he presents the evening show "Qu'est-ce qui fait courir la ville" (19h–22h) from the Caen studios. His on-air presence at Europe 2 lasts until 1998, bringing his total time on national networks to over 15 years. Listen →

Fabrice produces his Lime Megamix (2001), the first of a long-running series of tribute megamixes dedicated to iconic artists of the Disco and Hi-NRG era. Meticulously assembled, these productions weave together dozens of tracks into seamless musical journeys, earning him a devoted international following.

Fabrice takes on one of the most iconic tracks in pop history with a lounge-inflected remix of "Billie Jean" for the DMC label. Rather than compete with the original, he entirely reimagines its atmosphere — a bold creative choice that demonstrates his philosophy: "The essential baggage is a good pair of ears."

On the occasion of the Thriller 25th Anniversary, Fabrice delivers a club/dance remix of "Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough" for the DMC label, infusing the late-70s Disco classic with contemporary Electro textures while preserving the spirit of the original melody.

Fabrice forms the production Band French Music Brothers with musician Alain Jurkiw, exploring Deep House and New Jack territory. Their first release — a remix of Jenny G's "Only Music" — lands on the Italian label Italian Way Music. Guitar parts are contributed by Alain Jurkiw. The duo goes on to release on Arvaark Records and The Fusion Room Records (UK).

Fabrice wins two consecutive international remix contests: the EricM Contest ("Eenie Meenie") and the Nucleon Remix Contest ("Leave This City"). Both remixes are released on UK labels. He also enters the Snoop Dogg remix contest ("That Tree"), further expanding his international reach.

Fabrice releases "The History of 80s Vol. 6 — 100% Old School Rap", part of an ongoing megamix series that demonstrates the full breadth of his musical knowledge — from Funk and Disco to Hip-Hop and Eurodance.

Fabrice releases three major tribute megamixes in rapid succession: Once Upon a Time — Sylvester (31 tracks, 44:57), Once Upon a Time — The SOS Band (21 tracks, 30:00) and Once Upon a Time — Lime (Final Megamix) (22 tracks, 28:43). These works are celebrated for their depth of research, seamless mixing and genuine emotional tribute to their subjects.

Based between France and Japan, Fabrice continues to produce original tracks, remixes, megamixes and DMC releases, collaborating with international labels and artists. His discography on Hearthis, Mixcloud and SoundCloud has gathered over 576 followers and counting.
