Cottam - Fragile (Faff About and boy does it show;0)

Môrice is a curious little frenchie that found the meaning of life in record digging. He likes to share strange-groovy-lovely things from his record shelves, because music is all about sharing. On the side, he studies graphic design at the WdKA in Rotterdam, reads a lot of books and tries to perfect his terrible sense of humor.

As for now, he runs a monthly show on operator-radio.com that you can listen to here: https://operator-radio.com/artists/mrice

If you are lucky, you might see him playing in small gigs in Rotterdam or crate-digging in Lyon, his hometown in France!

Spinning records, jog wheels and mixer knobs since 2008

Curated event series such as Merry Go Round, Devintame Name, Elevation and Bathhouse in Vilnius, Lithuania. 1/2 of former DJ duo - Parallax

Shared decks with the likes of Pete Herbert, Leon Vynehall, Max Graef, Glenn Astro, Medlar, Kris Percy (Sleazy Beats), Nicholas, Stee Downes, HNNY, Ptaki and Luvless among others

Cottam shot to notoriety in 2009 with three limited edition 12”s that blew up the underground deep house and nu-disco scenes with no advertising and no info – combining neo-soul, afrobeat and hip hop with slo-mo house grooves all three sold out in double quick time and ended up in many ‘best of 2009’ charts. 
Since then, Cottam has concentrated on developing his own style of sub-aquatic acid house – remixes for Luv Jam on Phonica’s label, Pattern Select on Delusions of Grandeur and Morning Factory on 20:20 Vision offshoot Fina have complemented original tracks on Quintessentials, Wolf Music, German undercover label Story and the summer anthem ‘Sunrise Sunset’. The journey continues with his most accomplished tracks yet on the Deep Deep Down EP for Aus Music and a remix for Geoff Leopard on Endless Flight due out early 2012. He hasn’t completely given up the re-works either with Cottam 4 seeing Plantlife get the treatment and there is even a Cliff Richard remix doing the rounds! Cottam is biding his time with much more music to come next year (when his toddler starts nursery) and he can devote more time to production.
A burgeoning career behind the decks has seen Cottam DJ around the world from London & Ibiza super clubs to the dirtiest basements of Berlin and Manchester. A studio mix recording can never match the off the cuff ideas and crowd interaction of a live set, that can take in anything from Balearic disco edits to rough techno slowed down to a sexy shuffling tempo, classic house to euphoric disco all mixed with a skill, grace and swagger, topped off with a trademark cap.
