Pakito's Biography

Most music fans would probably remember Trans-X and their famous song “Living on Video” produced in the early eighties.

Jump to 2006 when Julien Ranouil (co-founder of Duo Prod) decides to remix the song adding his unique personal touch. This is the beginning of the new big project “Pakito” which will soon reveal itself to become a real success story!




“Living on Video” is released in 2006 and a large DJ community adopts this song making it a No.1 in European dance charts.

Numbers speak for themselves: No.1 in French clubs for 9 weeks, most played song in French clubs in 2006, most sold disc in France for 1 month (400,000 copies sold in total) and also No.1 in other European countries like Spain and Holland.

Other songs like “Moving on Stereo” and “Are U Ready” soon follow and the album “Video” is also released in 2006. “Pakito” is now definitely playing a big role on the French Dance Music scene!

It’s also back in 2006 the “Pakito” tour officially kicks-off. This was the result of a meeting between Julien (producer) and Manu (talented dancer and MC). With the collaboration of the French Music label of” Pakito”, “Airplay Records”, a show is developed around Manu himself and this is the beginning of what would become a great adventure “The Pakito International Tour”.

Over the last two years Pakito also collaborates on some other projects (Karlux, Roy Bee...) and creates his own music label with a friend "Duo Prod". Finally, Pakito is back in 2009 with a new single "Electro Music". Today, the story continues as a new song called "Harmony" is announced and should be released by the end of 2009.
