DJ Skylone — real name Kélyan Absalon, born December 8, 1998 in Bouillante (Basse-Terre) — drops his first Bouyon riddims in April 2018 with the "I See You Baby" remix with Doc J, then keeps releasing free-download instrus on YouTube: "Guitare Riddim" the same year, "Noel Rive" in 2019, "Chrismas Skay Riddim" in 2020. In 2024, he signs the prod of "Sa Ka Bay" with TIITII NBA, followed by "No Time" in September 2025 — a single co-credited to Kelyan Absalon (composer and beatmaker) and Terry Capitolin (lyricist).

Why this profile matters
DJ Skylone starts the beatmaking adventure in 2018, at 19, from Bouillante on the Basse-Terre side — one of the most discreet geographies in platform Bouyon Gwada. His first documented upload is "I See You Baby" with Doc J in April 2018, a Bouyon remix that plugs him into Dominican voices early through Doc J's network. The same year, he releases "Guitare Riddim" and drops free-download instrus on YouTube — a classic beatmaker model moving the sound without a middleman. In 2019, "Noel Rive" extends the run, then "Chrismas Skay Riddim" in 2020 under the Skay Beats alias. From 2024 onwards, the pace lifts and releases shift to platform mode: "Sa Ka Bay" with TIITII NBA drops on December 20, 2024 via Heaven Studio, then "No Time" on September 24, 2025 — a single whose credits show the shared composition (Kelyan Absalon composer and beatmaker, Terry Capitolin lyricist). On streaming platforms and, his artist name appears with the DJ Skaylone spelling, while his SoundCloud handle stays "ti-skylone". Both spellings refer to the same person.

TIITII NBA
TIITII NBA was singing Bouyon in Guadeloupe before the term "New Bouyon Wave" even existed. With Aknose and Softee, he forms the founding trio that the next generation plugs into from 2022 onward — Theomaa, Nils, Le Juh, 1T1 and Luky Lukee. In 2023, the single "New Bouyon Wave #1" drops with his name on it alongside Aknose, Softee, Nils and Theomaa. Since then, he's been stacking the Warm Up sessions that define the movement: "KPT", "LESE NOU PASE" and "Warm Up" with Ma6mo and Diixly.

Doc J
December 31, 2011. Kassidje Gazagirl's "A PA TAW" single drops with Doc J as feature — one of the oldest catalogued Bouyon Gwada releases. And Doc J is already there. For six years, he becomes one of the male voices of the first hardcore wave with Suppa, DJ Joe and Weelow. His "doc-j-officiel" SoundCloud drops "WE LOVE BOUYON" with Kassidje in September 2012. Le Courrier de Guadeloupe cites him in print. The "Bouyon Hardcore 2k13" mix lists him among the five names defining the era. Not a global Bouyon name, but a pillar of Gwada hardcore memory.
