FPYM - FREE PARTY YOUR MIND - SPACE PIRATE - Film Director, Music Producer, Live Performer, Dj

FPYM has been making the planet dance for 22 years. And, for all this time, his huge energy has seen him grooving behind record decks, bouncing up and down behind studio equipment and leaping around rave parties and clubs. He is a multi-faceted artist. But above all he is a DJ, and a true DJ: transformed by music, passionate about the crowd. Bodies move in a trance on the dance floor, minds elsewhere. Yet he is also a discoverer of old and new sounds, and has an amazingly rich musical culture. He spends most of his spare time sifting through his machines, creating the most obscure leads depending of his moments moods and listening to every single piece of music he is sent. Music, the pulse of our planet, is his Holy Grail.
Musical eclecticism is at the heart of FPYM's commitment to rave and Free Party Your Mind. At the beginning of the 1990's, FPYM was a teenager full dreams and hope, instantly dazed and confused by the electronic music and wanted to be part of the movement. To the point when, in 2000, he created Elektro Piracy with Ayin and Nahu. Independant artistic platform and network. He played all over Europe and further, following friends like Sulfurik, Architek, D-Kalé, Trois Petits Points, La cour des miracles, and many more.
FPYM is an artist on the move. He is tireless in his enthusiasm and is bursting with new ideas and projects. As well as the demands of his DJ-ing and his radio shows, FPYM has also evolved into a well-respected music producer.
FPYM acts under several identities and formations as E-Punk, Click n' Scratch, Gloss, Whoodat, META, Shoogadoze, Luvadoze, Shooga Daddy, and more... He produces film scores and makes sound design for movies. He also is a short film director. He created the stop-motion series of "FLOYD", and has many projects in progress. On top, non stop !!!!
Aside from his albums and singles, FPYM is also a composer for the cinema, television and theatre. He wrote the music for the film Manu Rêva, the film of Aurélien Dubois and made the music for the FLOYD series show directed by himself, and for few short films. All of these projects were wonderfully inspirational experiences that have had a huge impact upon him, both as a musician and as a human being, continuing a far-reaching career that is founded upon commitment and passion. He is producing singles and albums for other artists like META, Mika L'Batard, The Wise, and few underground musicians...
Whether behind the decks, or in a live gig, FPYM has managed to achieve his childhood dream: sharing the best possible emotions and sensations through music with other people. And little by little, FPYM the DJ has evolved into an accomplished musician, whose talents are waiting to be widely recognised. One of his strengths is having understood how to take his own music on to the stage as live performance. From the big raves in 1993 to the clubs in 2013, FPYM is reinventing himself as an important live artist, defending his music and his vision as well as his sense of immediacy and need for improvisation. Surrounded by experienced musicians, FPYM lights up the stage like a DJ does a dance floor. 
FPYM has a real personal approach of entertaining, with a spirit of giving…in close physical and emotional contact with the dance floor….as always…it's is the story of his life.
And don't forget : FREE PARTY YOUR MIND !!!
