When he has free time , he likes to write (MUZIQ, JAZZ MAGAZINE)and do Radio shows .Sometimes , he shuts his phone off , goes away from any kind of computer and reappears a few days later
His appartment is surrounded by a a bunch of 25 000 records , a number that has a tendency to increase quite drastically every week and reduces his breathing capacity ..
He also likes to do DJ SETS , mixing his own sounds with musics ranging from really obscure soundtracks to mimimal electronica to weird jazz sounds and hip hop from other planets ...
