French DJ and producer Michael Canitrot is in a league of his own—an artist who fuses electronic music, cultural heritage, and stunning digital artistry to create experiences that feel nothing short of cinematic. In a recent conversation with DJ Ron from Nexus Radio, Michael opened up about the inspiration, passion, and ambition behind his monumental creative world. Known for his Monumental Tour and powerful melodic productions, Michael continues to push boundaries far beyond the traditional DJ booth.
Michael spoke enthusiastically about the energy and diversity that fuels his creativity. His artistic evolution has been shaped not only by years behind the decks—starting with vinyl and the iconic Technics MK2 turntable—but also by the ever-growing possibilities of new technology. For Michael, the past and the future are always in conversation; he honors the roots of DJing while embracing innovation to expand his musical horizons.
This connection between heritage and sound sits at the heart of his acclaimed Monumental Tour, a breathtaking performance series that transforms historic locations into open-air temples of music and light. From Mont-Saint-Michel to medieval castles and European landmarks, each show requires nearly ten months of meticulous preparation—coordination with sponsors, technical teams, cultural institutions, and visual artists. Despite the challenges, Michael thrives in the process, driven by the desire to craft immersive moments that bring history to life through electronic expression.
Excitingly, Michael revealed that he’s exploring potential Monumental Tour locations in the Netherlands and even the United States. His ambition is as grand as the venues he plays, with hopes of staging a monumental performance on American soil and collaborating one day with electronic music legend Jean-Michel Jarre.
The conversation also touched on Michael’s newest creation, “Renaissance,” a track composed specifically for a performance at the iconic Château de Chambord. Inspired by Renaissance architecture, the track embodies emotional depth and melodic elegance—two cornerstones of Michael’s signature sound. Early reactions have been overwhelmingly positive, and fans eagerly await its full release.
In every project, Michael Canitrot blends storytelling with cutting-edge production to create something bigger than music—moments of awe, reflection, and communal celebration. His journey from France to Europe’s most breathtaking cultural sites underscores a devotion to artistry that resonates deeply with fans around the world.
