A propos d' e_swat
Steven alias e_swat tombe dans la marmite en ébullition des musiques électroniques en 1996 après 6 années à jouer de la basse,ses amis à Londres lui envoient des mix tapes c'est le déclic.
Il rejoint en 2000 l'asso cinetic-events à Nantes et ne cesse dès lors de multiplier les prestations devant un public toujours plus réceptif.
Passé de la hard techno et des frees parties, vers un son résolument dancefloor,il forge son mix en intégrant musiques électroniques et clins d'oeil à son passé plus rock ,le mélange prend.
Il fidélise dans l’ouest un public avec qui il partage de grands moments, dépense beaucoup d'énergie dans ses sets devant un public qui la lui rend bien !!!
Il joue actuellement un set electro techno qui ne laisse pas indifférent.
Groove is in the heart disait miss Dee Lite accompagnée d'un certain Dj Cam aux platines !!!

About e_swat
e_swat was born in 1974 in Nantes French west Coast ,till childhood he is interested in music ,his father plays guitar, listens to Pink Floyd ,Led Zeppelin ,psychedelic rock and also blues and jazz : that provides him soon a very good sound environement.

He starts gig in clubs , slowing down the tempos , making harmonies , in a great new playground where he meets another audience , artists like the japonese Ken Ishii ,Paul Nazca from scandium record and many more.
