DJ Leguste: the producer behind I Don't Know

Published October 20, 2026

DJ Leguste is a producer and DJ on the French Antilles bouyon scene, linked in public credits to Guadeloupe. His best documented record is I Don't Know, with Cocotteland, released on 11 April 2024 on his own DJ LEGUSTE label, at 160 BPM, with writing credits for Ryan Auguste and Djenae Castelneau. Around that single, the streaming platforms draw a steady catalogue of bouyon singles in French and Creole, almost all at 160 BPM, almost all collaborative, and almost all released under his own label name. This profile follows that catalogue record by record, states what the credits can support, and also states clearly what the public record does not hold.

Who DJ Leguste is: a credits name before a press name

DJ Leguste has no press biography. No published interview, no in depth article and no verified official page were found during the research for this profile, and this profile therefore does not pretend to tell a life story. What does exist is solid and checkable: a run of singles released between 2023 and 2025 on the platforms, with dates, labels, tempos and writing and production credits that any reader can verify on Shazam and on the streaming services.

In those credits, one name returns everywhere: Ryan Auguste. He is credited as a songwriter on I Don't Know, on LE GARS CHAUD, on PIANOO PIANOO (ring ring ring), on CUNNI KOKE JOUI and on IT'S NOT ME, and as producer on Pa di mwen JTM STP, released in December 2025. The artist name DJ Leguste and the credits name Ryan Auguste therefore tell the same person in two forms: the stage name built on the family name, Auguste turned into Leguste. This profile prints Ryan Auguste only as the published credits name, because that is exactly what the sources show.

The Guadeloupe link also rests on one precise item, and this profile names it instead of turning it into a biographical certainty. The YouTube video for SOUKWE SA BABY, by Tichouboy with Le Daah and produced by DJ Leguste, lists his contacts in the description: a Snapchat, gwaryan971, where 971 is the Guadeloupe area code, and a TikTok, djleguste.fwi, where FWI stands for French West Indies. No birth town is published in our sources, so none is printed here. Guadeloupe is the documented scene place, not a claimed birthplace.

That caution is part of the subject. DJ Leguste belongs to a generation of bouyon producers who exist first through the platforms: a single appears, travels on TikTok and YouTube, enters DJ mixes, and the artist remains, for the press, a name in capital letters on a cover. Documenting that kind of path means working differently: not with anecdotes, but with the discography itself, which is here the main source and the most honest one.

I Don't Know: the reference single, with Cocotteland

The entry point of the catalogue is I Don't Know, with Cocotteland, released on 11 April 2024 on the DJ LEGUSTE label. Shazam gives the tempo, 160 BPM, and the writing credits: Ryan Auguste and Djenae Castelneau. An English language title, carried by a featured voice, over a bouyon rhythm at 160 BPM, sums up DJ Leguste position well: a French Antilles producer working in the languages and codes the current bouyon scene understands, between Creole, French and English hooks built to travel.

160 BPM is not a minor technical detail. It is the cruising tempo of modern bouyon, the one found on the large majority of the records in this catalogue and on a wide share of the bouyon and shatta production of the French Antilles in these years. A producer who sets almost his whole catalogue at that tempo is not chasing metronome surprise: he is chasing impact in parties, in mixes and in short videos, where the audience recognises the rhythm in two seconds and where DJs can chain his records with the rest of the repertoire without a break.

I Don't Know is also a collaboration record, and that is the second signature of the catalogue. Djenae Castelneau co wrote the song, Cocotteland is the featured voice, and DJ Leguste holds the frame: production, label, headline name. That division of roles, the producer as writer and as a miniature record company, returns on almost every single and draws a working model rather than a run of accidents.

For listening, this profile recommends starting with I Don't Know, then comparing it with the 2023 and 2025 records: the tempo stays, the voices change, and that contrast is exactly what lets you hear what belongs to the producer. Our bouyon playlist places these records inside the wider flow of bouyon releases followed by Bouyon Shattaz.

2023: LE GARS CHAUD, EN LEY and SOUKWE SA BABY

The first documented year of the catalogue is 2023, and it starts strongly. LE GARS CHAUD, with Le Daah, was released on 26 May 2023 on the DJ LEGUSTE label, in French, at 160 BPM, with writing credits for Ryan Auguste and Daryl Biabiany. EN LEY, with Judi Silva and Le Daah, followed on 15 July 2023, still on the same label, still in French, still at 160 BPM. Two singles in under two months, with the same guest voice returning: Le Daah becomes, from the start, a voice associated with the Leguste sound.

The same year, the DJ Leguste name also appears behind a record that is not released under his artist name: SOUKWE SA BABY, by Tichouboy with Le Daah, produced by DJ Leguste. The description of the YouTube video, directed by G-ISLANDS FILMZ, credits DJ LEGUSTE on keys and drums, with SKANMAKER also credited, and tags the record with the bouyon hashtag. This kind of credit matters for understanding the job: before being a headline name, DJ Leguste is a producer other artists call to build their records.

IT'S NOT ME, with TEAM BODE, Loloo and Nsk, completes this first block. Its published writing credits, on Shazam, join Ryan Auguste with Lorenzo Roder and Kerry Siber Nibert. The English title and the list of features confirm the method: multiple voices, simple hooks, a stable bouyon frame. None of these releases is an album: the Leguste catalogue is a catalogue of singles, built record by record, like most current bouyon production.

Heard again today, those 2023 records show a producer already settled into his formula before the 2024 single that serves as the reference. I Don't Know is therefore not a debut: it is the moment when a practice already tested, producing for others and releasing singles on his own label, finds its most visible title.

2024 and 2025: PIANOO PIANOO, CUNNI KOKE JOUI, Cocaina and Pa di mwen JTM STP

2024 is the densest year in the documented catalogue. After I Don't Know in April, DJ Leguste appears as a feature on Cocaina, by XL Caraibes and BMY, released on 13 September 2024 on XL Records as part of the album XL Caraibes, in French, at 160 BPM. The change of label matters: usually self released, he is here a guest on another act project, on an album, which widens his territory beyond his own singles.

On 4 October 2024 came CUNNI KOKE JOUI, with Lalann, on the DJ LEGUSTE label, in French, at 160 BPM, with writing credits for SGB KUSH, Ryan Auguste and Ilann Siban. Five days later, on 9 October 2024, PIANOO PIANOO (ring ring ring), with TISMA, came out on the same label, at the same tempo, with credits for Ryan Auguste, Mathis Cabo and SGB KUSH. Two singles in one week, with one shared writer, SGB KUSH, appearing on both: the catalogue lets you glimpse a small regular writing team around the producer.

The record Feel di riddim, by TITOM509 with DJ LEGUSTE, TI PHENIX and DJ CRVPVL, shows the other side of the network: collaborations between DJs and producers. The published lyrics open with a call out to DJ Leguste, and the title itself, feel the riddim, speaks to bouyon producer culture, where the riddim is the raw material and where protecting that material is a repeated theme in the lyrics. DJ Leguste appears there as a peer among producers, not only as a maker of singles.

The documented catalogue runs to 12 December 2025 with Pa di mwen JTM STP, with Le Matt and Pepito, on the DJ LEGUSTE label, in French, at 157 BPM, the one clear break from the usual 160 BPM, with Ryan Auguste credited as producer and vocals by Stanley Lurel and Matteo Suard. A Creole hook, two new voices, a slightly lower tempo: the formula shifts at the edges without changing course. YE SWA, with Leken SM and OH Yeah, is also listed among the records under his name on the platforms, with no verified date in our sources, and this profile therefore cites it without a date rather than inventing one.

The Leguste model: his own label, guest voices, one tempo

The clearest fact in the DJ Leguste file is not a record, it is a structure. Almost all of his singles come out on a label that carries his name, DJ LEGUSTE. That self release model has become the norm for bouyon producers of his generation: no album, no announced schedule, but a run of singles released when they are ready, carried by the platforms, short videos and mixes. The producer keeps hold of his records, his credits and his release rhythm.

The second structural trait is network work. Le Daah sings on two records from 2023 and on the Tichouboy production. SGB KUSH co writes two records from October 2024. The guest voices then change with every single: Cocotteland, Judi Silva, Lalann, TISMA, Le Matt, Pepito. The catalogue therefore reads like a map of the scene around him, and every feature is also a document on who was working with whom, in which week, in French Antilles bouyon.

The third trait is language. The titles and credits are mostly in French, with Creole hooks and English titles such as I Don't Know and IT'S NOT ME. That mix is not a strategy stated by the artist, since with no interview it has to be read in the records themselves: it is the real language of current bouyon in Guadeloupe, where Creole carries identity, French carries the story and English carries the hook that travels on the platforms.

That model has a cost this profile does not hide: it leaves few written traces. No album means no album review, no outside label means no press release, and a singles producer can build a whole catalogue without ever appearing in an article. That is exactly the kind of path this site documents record by record, because otherwise it would be documented nowhere. For the genre context, read our history of bouyon page and our bouyon soca page: bouyon was born in Dominica, and its French Antilles branch, where DJ Leguste works, is one of its major adopted homes.

What this profile knows, and what it does not know

Here are the verified facts of this profile. DJ Leguste has released bouyon singles since at least 2023, mainly on his own label. His credits name is Ryan Auguste, writer or producer across the checked catalogue. His reference record is I Don't Know, with Cocotteland, released on 11 April 2024, at 160 BPM, co written with Djenae Castelneau. His documented catalogue holds at least eleven records, including LE GARS CHAUD, EN LEY, CUNNI KOKE JOUI, PIANOO PIANOO (ring ring ring) and Pa di mwen JTM STP. He also produces for others, as SOUKWE SA BABY by Tichouboy shows, and he guests on other acts projects, as Cocaina by XL Caraibes and BMY shows.

Here is what the file does not hold, and what this profile refuses to invent. No date of birth, no precise town, no training path and no statement by the artist were found in publishable sources. No official account was verified to the point where it could be linked here: the 2023 YouTube description gives a Snapchat and a TikTok, but the Instagram link there is truncated, so this profile links no social account in its structured data. Streaming counts move constantly and are not printed here.

If DJ Leguste publishes a biography, gives an interview or has his official pages verified, this profile will be completed and dated like every page on this site. In the meantime, the best entry point remains listening in order: I Don't Know for the reference, LE GARS CHAUD and EN LEY for the documented beginnings, PIANOO PIANOO (ring ring ring) for the 2024 energy, and Pa di mwen JTM STP for the current state of the sound. Then continue with our bouyon playlist, which follows the new releases of the scene week after week.
