Alain Quême, also known as Alan Braxe, is a French electronic music artist. Braxe collaborated with Thomas Bangalter and Benjamin Diamond to form Stardust.

History[]

Braxe started making music in Paris in the mid-1990s at the rise of the French Touch movement. He is the cousin of DJ Falcon (Stephane Quême) and Quartet (Delphine Quême).[1]

Braxe's debut single, 'Vertigo' came out on Roulé in 1997, which became successful because of the 'Virgo Edit' of the song, which was co-produced with Thomas Bangalter.

In 1998, Braxe co-wrote "Music Sounds Better with You" alongside Thomas Bangalter and Benjamin Diamond as the collaborative group Stardust. "Music Sounds Better With You" reached number 1 on the U.S. Dance Charts.

He later formed his own label, Vulture Music, and continued to release singles under its imprint, including the 2004 hit 'Rubicon'.

Recently he has become an in-demand remixer, contributing remixes (frequently co-produced with Fred Falke) for Goldfrapp, Röyksopp, Test Icicles, Annie, Shakedown, Kylie Minogue and Justice.
