Evolving producer / composer, focused on soundscape-oriented, frequency-minded music, with frequent travels into the minimal, atmospheric and pounding. I want my tracks to work for dancing, sleeping, meditating, and blissing - or any combination of the above.  I am ultimately focused on nervous-system entrainment, experimenting with the edges of that practice through both aggressive and gentle rhythms, ignoring genres as much as I can. But I assume most people would call most of it somewhere between ambient, techno (full spectrum between soft and hard), house, and downtempo. 
I am basically using SoundCloud as a journal. I am uploading the tracks I make that I think I like - even if I don’t think they are done. I am hardly mastering or editing the tracks, since my obsession for now is getting in touch with the sounds that are in my head  and heart and gain confidence that I can turn them into music.

DJ Rascal from France is one of the most successful French DJ's of the 80-90's... 

10 times DMC DJ finalist 1988-2000 
Vice European DJ Champion 1989 
Luxembourg DJ Champion 1988
 
DJ Rascal ... A Living Legend ♔

DJ Rascal was one of the most emblematic DJ's of his generation and one of the most successful technically in France during the closing decades of the 20th Century. In 1988 he became Luxembourg Champion and Vice European champion next year in 1989, and then participated in the DMC technical Championship French final for the world championships no fewer than 10 times between 1988 and 2000. 
He was also a pioneer in many areas of DJing.  He invented the concept of "boys band turntablism" - team 
scratching concept - in 1990 with a first show at the Hourtin military base (France) a full year before the first appearance of Q-Bert in a U.S. TV show in 1991. Though Q-bert is remembered as the inventor of that style, he is not and it is time to render unto Caesar what is Caesar's. 

DJ Rascal was also one of the first to self-produce an After Hip-Hop & New Jack mixtape on Cd in 1997-98.  Up until then  K7 had been the dominant format employed.  The production of a 24 minute mix After 
Hip-Hop composed solely of breakbeats, intros, interludes and scratching helped to bring a unique 
atmosphere to the scene at that time. 

But above all, his greatest strength is his ability to adapt to any type of music programming as well as 
animation shows.  His 40 years of experience spinning in clubs, with and without micro-animation, combined with his sharp festive programming, and impeccable technique, make of him a complete DJ able to play any style – House, Techno, Lounge, Chillout, Acid Jazz, Soul, Funk, Disco, Rap / Hip-Hop, R'n'B, French or international variety, etc.   

It  would take too much space here to review the career of DJ Rascal in full, but if we were to summarize a few highlights, then we would certainly keep in mind the hundreds of scratch demonstration shows, concerts, entertainment & nightlife clubs in France, Belgium, Luxembourg , Spain, Switzerland, etc. There were also countless radio and TV shows, not to mention that he was one  of the pioneers of Hip-Hop and DJing in the late 80's along with DJs such as DJ Dee-Nasty.  He helped democratize Hip-Hop and the art of DJing in France with MC’s including Destroy Man and Johnny Go, Lionel D, as well as others too numerous to name. 
He is considered as one of the most respected DJ's of his time. 

Still, his story is not finished ... 
DJ Rascal plays on, and will continue to do so as we dream into the future.

"There comes a point in your life when you realize who matters, who never did, who won't anymore, and who always will. So don't worry about the people from your past, there's a reason they didn't make it to your future"

Underground, Deep, Acid, House, Techno ...

PolyGroovers got started by a young couple in 2001, Konstantin Gredeskoul & Telene Johnston, who got married shortly thereafter. Konstantin was the brains behind compositions, lyrics, and song arrangements, while Telene contributed her beautiful voice on many of the vocal tracks.

As time went on, Konstantin and Telene parted ways. Konstantin remained as the solo creative force behind it, but took a long break after releasing their second album "Tips and Tricks". 

PolyGroovers are known for bringing groovy downtempo, filled with lush harmonies and unexpected polyrhythms, shaken by the funky bass lines and progressively intricate melodies.

PolyGroovers released a total of two albums, "Moods for Taking Out" (2006) and "Trips and Ticks" (2009), that are available on iTunes, Spotify, CDBaby, and many other online outlets. 

Some of the new materal is available for free here on SoundCloud.
