Pole Folder, born Benoît Franquet, is a Belgian electronic musician and live club performer who has been an influential presence in the progressive house and melodic techno scenes. Pole Folder emerged in the early 2000s, gaining acknowledgment with his profound and emotionally-charged style that embodies both depth and danceability. A producer who prides himself on crafting soundscapes that are as cerebral as they are visceral, he has built a reputation for fusing rich melodies with a rhythmic sophistication that resonates with club-goers and home listeners alike.

His array of releases showcases a versatility and finesse that fully embodies his artistic ethos. "Solstice" and "Infinite Love" are reflective of his ability to interweave emotive narratives within his productions, while "Par-Dessus Les Toits" and "La Déclaration" emphasize his affinity for elevated textures and atmospheres. Notably, his expertise in crafting compelling DJ mixes is well represented in "Pole Folder x Particles (DJ Mix • 2023)," a session that captures the essence of his dynamic setlists. His work, including the contrast between the tender "Sentimental Fool (Pole Folder Full Sentimental Mix)" and the expansive "The Great Beyond," as well as the culturally touched beats of "Jaipur" and "Serengeti," reflects a globe-trotting influence and a penchant for exploratory sound. Pole Folder continues to contribute to the electronic music landscape with his innovative approach, blending introspective electronic journeys with the pulsing heartbeat of progressive rhythms.
