The Mekanism – Dance To Dance
Definitive Recordings

Catalog No:    DEFDIG2609
Release Date:  December 4th, 2026

A lifelong student of the dancefloor with an instinct for finding the sweet spot between classic house sensibilities and forward-thinking club energy, The Mekanism continues to carve out his own lane in electronic music. On 4th December, the Paris-born DJ and producer makes a long-awaited appearance on the legendary Definitive Recordings with ‘Dance To Dance’, a release that brings together two defining forces in his musical world: a deep-rooted respect for house music’s foundations and an enduring desire to keep the sound moving forward.

Real name Damien Roussel, The Mekanism has spent years building a reputation that extends far beyond the studio. From his early days behind the decks in Paris to international dancefloors, his journey has been shaped by an uncompromising love of music, a natural feel for the crowd and a refusal to be boxed into a single sound. Across releases for influential imprints including Needwant, 20/20 Vision and Seth Troxler’s Play It Say It, he has continually explored the space between disco-infused grooves, raw acid textures and infectious, club-focused house.

Now arriving on Definitive Recordings, ‘Dance To Dance’ represents a significant moment in that journey. Long admired by Roussel as a label that helped shape his musical education as a DJ, the release carries a personal significance beyond the dancefloor. It marks the coming together of an artist whose sound has been forged through years of digging, playing and experimenting with a label deeply embedded in house music culture.

For The Mekanism, the dancefloor has always been more than a destination, it is the starting point. With ‘Dance To Dance’, he continues a story built on curiosity, groove and a lasting commitment to the music that first pulled him behind the decks.
