About Me


Feel free to download all these mixes, you can get them on my podomatic page
Hello, Salut, Bonjour, Olà, Hallo, Salaam, Namaste, Shalom !!
I'm going to hang out for a while in India, from December 11th to..Well..Dunno, ha!
This is a visual I made to celebrate this experience. It is very influenced by the cover of the compilation "Indiarama", I just felt like giving my own interpretation of it, hehe!
.:That's just me:. Who am I ? Mmmh, sometimes graphic designer (I've lately got the immense chance and honour to win the contest set up by legendary Six Degrees Records to celebrate their 10 years of existence, you can see the related design below) , sometimes (very) lazy, sometimes spinning Chill Out, Downtempo, Phunkey, Mellow, Doped Beats in clubs, restaurants, festivals, ..., sometimes dancing, sometimes cooking, sometimes roaming in town with the longboard, to sum up trying to enjoy life, and to understand that world I was thrown in, during the summer solstice of the year 79..
.:My Musical Background and Present:. To speak about Music a little bit, well, thanks to my geographical situation, very close to the boarders with Germany and Switzerland, and not far from Belgium, I'm a long time party goer, discovering the electronic music in 1996, after a punk and hip-hop period. Seeker of the "vibration" as I like to say it, I realized thanks to a good friend that the vibration definitely attends the down-tempo music, and since then I'm doing my best to collect sweet records here and there. Seduced by the easy-going spirit floating around the chill-out I started spinning some records in local parties and quickly crossed the boarder to play in Germany, and Switzerland where the amount of parties used to be much more consistant. I like my sets to be smoothly danceable for the people who are in the mood for it, and suggest ethnic beats as well as more elektro/urban stuff. In the summer 2004 I opened the Transit festival in Spain which was my first gig of that "size", and since then spinned some Music in places like the french Arcadia festival, the spanish NYE's Existence festival, the Batofar in Paris, and places of my region..
.:My Music Player:. (top of the page) About the music you can hear with the mp3 player here, you'll hear first my newest mix, On a Journey through India, made to celebrate my trip there, starting on december 11th.. On second you get Summer of Love 2007 part.02, keeping up the concept of the previous one, that was made to let you hear my first track ever made together with Solead ! It's been a pretty exciting experience, hehe, and now I want more !! I'm merging different styles in these sessions : Dirty House shit with Techno, Proggy Trance and Breakz. Summer of Love 2007 is dedicated to our new french president, Nico Sarko !! Peace, Love and Understanding, let's wish these words are a part of his vocabulary.. (sic!)

But I'm also on Hip-Hop, Reggae, Ska, and many more !

And when it comes about serious Dancing, well, my bread will be Progressive stuff, call it House, Trance, Techno, Elektro, whatever, I like my vibration to be fat, steady and in some way "Dirty" !

Bring the Noize ! ^^
