Florian Ruiz-Picasso is a French DJ and record producer based in Cannes. By adoption, he is a great-grandson of the well-known artist, Pablo Picasso. He gained recognition for collaborations with Martin Garrix, Nicky Romero and Steve Aoki. In 2016, he was ranked by DJ Mag at 38th on their annual list of Top 100 DJs.
Since 2024, Picasso has pursued a more underground and independent musical direction. In 2025, he launched his own label, DKD Records, debuting with the Hi Heels EP, which introduced a harder, more groove-oriented techno sound. He also initiated Dekadance, envisioned as a creative movement and platform for genre-blending electronic music.
In 2025, following the release of his Hi Heels EP on DKD Records, Picasso released his second major project of the year, the single "When I Saw U". The track was designed to evoke a sense of pure happiness and emotional uplift, aiming to capture the instant, euphoric feeling of connection when someone enters a room. Picasso’s recent work reflects his focus on releasing music independently and shaping his own artistic direction.
