April 2009: I'm now going to publish a monthly/bimonthly Chart on my blog.
JUST CLICK HERE TO CHECK MY SELECTED TUNES...
Give me some feedback please... :)
I love music.
Cutting-edge quality music, electronic and non.
Rare tracks, unknown or underestimated artists are also my hosts.
I grew up with jazz and classical music.
My father and above all my uncle were and still are jazz collectors and experts.
I like to make people discover music and music styles they don't know.
And it seems that I'm pretty good at that.
Maybe that's why people often advise me to create a radio show.
I'm working on it. It's exciting.
My aim is to broadcast asap.
Friends are already helping me. We will see.
That's also why I DJ from time to time. I try to make people happy and open their minds.
Monomaniac music fans are my challenge.
My DJ technique (wax, cd, computer) is slowly improving.
I'm not ready for clubs even though I did DJ this summer in a big Italian club, far away from Paris, pissing in my pants... :)
You can often meet me on morning around 11am at the Café Chéri(e) - 44 bd de la Villette - 75019 Paris - M° Belleville (2 and 11 lines).
Ask for Lionel or k o p e l. This is the music gymnasium where I used to train...
Wifi connected if u need. :)
I also love to dance. It's my sport...
DJs should always dance, I think.
Thanks to Dennis Ferrer for his punchy, funky set a few days ago at Péniche Concorde Atlantique.
Thanks to the charming black boogie lady who danced with me... :)
Thanks to the "respect is burning" team for booking Carl Craig and Dennis Ferrer the same week.
RESPECT! Is Paris getting hype and happy again?
That's also why I organize parties.
Inviting DJ friends to play.
Eclectic line-up for eclectic people.
I like people to gather, young and old, rich and poor, black and white, "sail" or "steam"...
Under pressure from my dear friends, I promised I would organize more parties next season. Watch out. Starting from October 2007.
Peace.
Unity,
Love.
And having fun.
