About Me

rETURN oF tHE bOOM-bLEEP mIX

My official biog is lost somewhere on a CD, so I'll just state the facts, resume-style.
1986 My cousin hands me my first hip-hop tapes (Licensed To Ill and Raising Hell).
1990 I start my first radio show on Radio Pomme, called We Love. I start to interviews of french bands (I Am, Assassin, Solaar, Sté, Sage Poetes De La Rue, Les Littles, Fabe, Koma...). The show will air until 1997 when Radio Pomme go bankrupt.
1994 I start to craft beats on a crappy computer.
1996 I start a series of mixtapes.
1997 I host a radio show on HDR in Rouen with Bachir & Moda, called Keep It Fake.
1998 After collecting records for more than ten years, I realize it's time to invest in a turntable and a mixer. Still with Moda & Bachir we switch the name of the show to Tout Droit Réservé.
1998-2000 While we're still on HDR, Bachir and me also do another show (Think Twice) on RC2, a lousy station but with a better signal !
1999 Fabe ask me to make a mix every two weeks for his radio show on Generation in Paris.
2000 I moved to Paris to slave for a PR company. That's when I started to do a million things...
