Alain Quême, also known as Alan Braxe, is a French electronic music artist. He scored a major hit in 1998 with "Music Sounds Better With You," a track co-written by Thomas Bangalter of Daft Punk under the name Stardust that reached number one on the United States Dance chart. Braxe is most widely known for his collaborative work with electronic bassist Fred Falke and, in 2005, The Upper Cuts collected much of their material until that point along with several other Braxe productions.

Braxe, who began work as a musician in Paris in the mid 1990s, is a key figure in the French electronic music scene. His nickname is a variant of Brax, a region in France where he used to live. Braxe's debut single, "Vertigo" came out on Roule Music in 1997. It was a hit in large part thanks to the "Virgo Edit" of the song, which was co-produced with Bangalter. He later formed Vulture Music, and continued to release singles under its imprint, including 2004's hit, "Rubicon".

Recently he has become an in-demand remixer, contributing remixes (frequently co-produced with Fred Falke) for Goldfrapp, Röyksopp, Test Icicles, Annie and Shakedown.
