Top 4 Mauritian DJs

Emmanuel Savannah

Mauritius’ beloved house music loving homeboy, Emmanuel Savannah, is on a mission to rock clubs, win hearts and top charts. A DJ and producer with talent, tons of spirit and a steely determination to succeed, he has been on a national search for the ultimate dancefloor energy since 2001.

Born in Curepipe, Mauritius, Emmanuel Savannah grew up in a musical household, learning the guitar, synth and drums. Passionate about Hip-Hop, he became mesmerised by the addictive energy of house music at a club party where local DJ’s, namely Giovanni Paul, Patrice D’avrincourt, Pascal Pierre and Bertrand Philibert was performing.

Philibert was among the first to recognise the potential of Savannah, who was still in his teens when he started mixing. Deeply inspired by DJs such as Laurent Wolf, Antoine Clamaran, Paul Van Dyk, and basically artists everywhere who pushed the boundaries of electronic music, he was initially stirred into action by a cocktail of house, funky, electro, sexy beats and tribal.

Since 2012, Emmanuel Savannah adopted a specific registry for his DJ set, willing to keep in touch with the music generation and public demand, including Deep House, Tech House, Electro House & Progressive House.
