Pascal Terstappen

Pascal Terstappen is an innovative electronic musician, whose two artistic identities Applescal and Golven demonstrate his wide‑ranging creative vision.

As Applescal, Terstappen has been a driving force in underground electronic music for over 15 years, crafting immersive, melodic house and techno that has resonated with audiences worldwide. He’s released acclaimed albums and collaborations, and his work has been presented at respected events and venues across Europe, from ESNS showcases to club stages and festival lineups that champion forward‑thinking electronic art.

In 2024 Terstappen teamed up with long‑time collaborator David Douglas to release the concept album Démarrage — a cinematic 10‑track journey that channels the rhythm and emotion of cycling into lush electronic soundscapes.

Under his trance‑infused alias Golven, Pascal continues to push boundaries with standout singles like “I Got This Feeling”, a high‑energy track that expands his signature sound into euphoric, club‑ready territory.

Whether performing live or shaping compelling studio work, Terstappen remains a creative force whose dual projects Applescal and Golven both reflect deep musicality and a fearless pursuit of sonic exploration.
