HUGEL

Florent Hugel (French: [flɔʁɑ̃ yʒɛl]; born 4 December 1987), known mononymously as Hugel (stylized in all caps), is a French DJ, record producer, and remixer. He first rose to international fame for his remix of "Bella Ciao", which became a viral hit in 2018, and his original track "Morenita", which helped popularize the Latin house genre. Hugel has collaborated with and remixed tracks for numerous high-profile artists, including David Guetta, Robin Schulz, and J Balvin. Hugel is best known for his 2024 hit single "I Adore You". Hugel began his career as a DJ at the age of 16 in his hometown of Marseille, France. Inspired by artists such as Daft Punk, Carl Cox, and Laurent Garnier, he quickly developed a passion for electronic dance music. In 2017, Hugel gained significant attention with his collaboration with Robin Schulz on the gold-certified track "I Believe I'm Fine". His breakthrough came in 2018 with his remix of El Profesor's "Bella Ciao", which became the official German summer hit of that year and achieved platinum status in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. The remix has amassed over 280 million streams worldwide. Hugel has since become a prominent figure in the electronic dance music scene, performing at major festivals such as Tomorrowland, EDC Las Vegas, and Lollapalooza. He has also held residencies at renowned clubs in Ibiza, including Ushuaia and Pacha. In 2021, Hugel released "Morenita", which further solidified his position in the industry. In 2024, he released "I Adore You", which is a collaboration with German DJ Topic, Iranian-Swedish singer Arash and British musician Daecolm. The song quickly became a commercial success worldwide, and is Hugel's most successful hit single to date.
