Start Again is the first track from the upcoming album Beastly Snoot, marking the debut album release from Select Username, a new alias from the artist behind Cookies Slayer. This track serves as a sonic bridge between two artistic worlds, transitioning from Cookies Slayer's signature Psytechno into Select Username's Drum & Bass.

This release also marks the beginning of a new chapter and launches the artist’s new label, 303 BPM.

Cookies Slayer, Select Username - Start Again

I am a hobbyist who likes to make Goa trance and acid techno, preferably with bits of darkness and ambience and usually on the more experimental side. I am a new artist who is constantly learning and evolving.

Searching for the most mind expanding, body activating, and soul nourishing psychedelic music...

Cookies Slayer is a French Psytechno live act and sound designer based in Montpellier. His music blends techno, psytrance, acid techno, dark progressive and experimental styles, often shaped by world music elements and unconventional structures. Through this psytechno project, he explores a personal trajectory within the underground electronic scene.

His tracks combine original sound design with processed samples, built around rhythmic shifts, textural changes and non-linear structures. 303 patterns, broken arrangements and contrast are key elements in his work. With a background in audio for film and games, he composes with precision, focusing on detail, structure and sound quality.

He performs primarily live, reconstructing his own tracks on stage. His sets move between dark peaktime techno, psytechno and psytrance, offering a personal and fully crafted performance.

Under the alias Select Username, he explores the faster and more abrasive side of his sound, producing crossbreed, drum & bass and hybrid bass music. The project focuses on raw intensity and high-BPM.

He also runs 303BPM, a label supporting experimental approaches to electronic dance music. It supports artists who prioritise sound design, work across genres, and build music that remains both unconventional and effective on the dancefloor.

Legendary guitarist Steve Vai once said: "Passion erases time."


For me, that passion is music. I discovered the guitar at the age of 8, shaping my artistic sensitivity. At 20, music production became my new obsession, leading me to bust open the doors of electronic creation.


After over a decade of producing and DJing, project JOLY navigates between hypnotic Psytrance and high-energy Drum & Bass.


On stage, I take my audience on a journey to often-uncharted musical spaces. My music is a fire that never flickers out. And so, at a JOLY (good) show, time disappears and only emotion remains.
