The 9th track of the 'Bon Vivant' series comes from corsican artist @valerj

Producer, co-creator of the From disco to disko label and the Ballà Boum festival.

if Valerj had chosen to buy a guitar at the age of fifteen, the story would certainly have been different. But at the dawn of the 2000s, as club culture flooded Europe's biggest cities, turntables became a dream, even for a teenager from Corsica.

To use these turntables, you need records. When he can't find them at the only record shop in his hometown of Bastia, he orders them (or steals them in dubious mp3 versions) from the web. It was precisely this tool, the Internet, that shook up his certainties at the dawn of his twenties. Myspace, Reason, the Fluokids…

The Mediterranean was disappearing, the legendary Calvi on the rocks festival was exploding, and nothing would ever be the same again. He scoured these island festivals, not only as a partygoer but also as an artist. As the years went by, his cross-disciplinary tastes became more pronounced. In 2017, the monthly From disco to disko evenings were born, culminating in the creation of an eponymous label in early 2019.

In the space of just three ep's, Valerj's productions have already toured the world, appearing in sets by major players on the dark disco / indie dance scene such as Jennifer Cardini, Curses or Perel. Always eager to collaborate and exchange, since 2022 he has also crossed paths with renowned artists such as Damon Jee, Roe Deers, Amarcord or Joe Lewandowski for remixes.

Despite his obvious affinity with the dark disco scene, which is still very active today, Valerj chose a completely different path for his debut album  “Le début du beau”, released last May on From disco to disko. After more than twenty years in the world of the dance music, this long format is an opportunity for him to reconnect with his early house, ambient and electro influences, and to pay homage to some of the records that shook up his adolescence and his way of making music.

Trypx2


Born in Spain and based in Switzerland, Trypx2 discovered electronic music at a young age, diving into the scene with his brother and shaping his sound through countless parties and festivals across Europe. Influenced early by his DJ friend KOKE, he built a broad foundation that continues to fuel his artistic journey.

Over the years, his music has evolved from techno into a blend of progressive, house, & trance combining driving energy with emotional depth. His sets are defined by experimentation, always seeking fresh sounds that connect with the crowd.

Beyond the decks, Trypx2 began by organizing local underground & illegal raves in Spain, later co-founding the international techno label Brutalism x Basseht with L.D.U. and Jon Krieger. Today, he has left the label in the hands of L.D.U. to focus on his new local Swiss imprint, Reboot, a project dedicated to supporting artists and pushing forward innovative sounds.

For Trypx2, electronic music is not a trend but a lifelong passion—one that continues to inspire new projects and creative journeys.
