Artist Spotlight

HUGEL is one of the most influential Latin House artists on the planet and a key architect of the global Latin House movement. Through his imprint Make The Girls Dance Records, he continues to push culture forward, delivering timeless club records and multiple #1 Beatport hits. A multi-platinum artist, HUGEL reached a major milestone in 2025 when his catalog surpassed 1 billion streams in a single year, confirming his position at the very top of the global dance scene.


Born in Marseille and raised on a foundation of funk, disco, and soul, HUGEL began DJing on vinyl at just 16 years old. Inspired by legends like Carl Cox, Daft Punk, and David Guetta, he developed a sound that is instantly recognizable, deeply rhythmic, emotionally charged, and built for massive dancefloors. Infused with the Balearic spirit of Ibiza and the cultural richness of the Mediterranean, his music blends Latin, oriental, tribal, and Afro House influences into a signature sound that continues to resonate worldwide.

2025 marked a defining moment in HUGEL’s career with his first-ever residency at Hï Ibiza, which quickly became one of the most talked-about nights on the island. The residency drew packed rooms week after week, firmly establishing him as a cornerstone of Ibiza’s new generation. That same year, his global tour reached new heights with standout performances across Ibiza, Miami, New York, Los Angeles, Mexico, Brazil, and Europe, alongside major festival appearances at Tomorrowland, EDC Las Vegas, BPM Festival, and Untold.


Adding to the momentum, HUGEL is preparing to release “Movin To The Sun” alongside Ultra Naté and Imael Angel in just a few days. Blending HUGEL’s signature Latin House energy with uplifting vocals and feel-good production, the track captures themes of freedom, positivity, and endless summer energy. Rooted in nostalgic house influences while embracing a modern international sound, the release reflects HUGEL’s continued evolution as a global club artist connecting with audiences worldwide.


Looking ahead, 2026 is set to be another breakthrough year. HUGEL will release his highly anticipated debut album, marking a new creative chapter in his career, while also making his first-ever Coachella appearance, a landmark moment underscoring his crossover impact on the global stage. He’ll also return for a second Hï Ibiza residency while launching an exclusive Las Vegas residency at Encore, bringing his signature sound to one of the world’s most iconic nightlife destinations.


With billion-stream momentum, sold-out rooms across the globe, and a sound helping define the future of dance music, HUGEL continues to lead the Latin and Afro House movement into its next era.
