History

The beginning of the new millennium was a triumphant return to the world's dance floors to the enchanting melody of "I Can't Stop" by the DE-JAVU project. Four talented musicians, each of whom has already achieved significant success in the music industry, have joined this creative union. It was DE-JAVU who brought the names DARIO MELODIA, RICCARDO PIPARO, FRANCESCO ABBATE and ALESSANDRO BUNETTO to the world dance music scene. Vocalist PAUL KASS's song "I Can't Stop Thinking of You..." sounded from every speaker and at every disco.

DARIO MELODIA has been working on radio for a long time. Since 1995, he has produced dance projects for the Italian divisions of the well-known labels Virgin and EMI. His tracks have been included in prestigious compilations such as "Festivalbar 99". He is also known as a member of the band CONTACT THREE and continues to create remixes, remaining one of the most popular Italian DJs. In 2001, he met FRANCESCO ABBATE and ALESSANDRO BUNETTO. However, before the DE-JAVU project appeared, their fate brought them together with RICCARDO PIPARO, an experienced producer and musician. This meeting led to the creation of the touching song "I Can't Stop", which was performed by PAUL KASS.

PAUL KASS was born in New York City. In college, he sang in the school band and was even invited to join the local church choir. At the age of 16, his family moved to Italy, where he began performing in pubs and clubs. KASS wrote poetry for his own songs and taught English. In Sicily, he met DARIO MELODIA, who invited him to join the band. Thanks to this project, DE-JAVU has found his unique voice. The debut video was shot in Los Angeles, and the song "I Can't Stop" became a hit on the dance floors of Europe.

In the summer of 2002, De-Javu released the single "Never", which was widely broadcast worldwide, but did not achieve the same commercial success as their previous work. At the same time, vocalist Paul Kass presented his solo single titled "Do You Believe".

In 2003, De-Javu released her last single, "Trapped". However, this release did not enter the charts and did not receive recognition.

The project has not seen any activity since 2003.
