Jester

I'm a former sound engineer from Translab Studio Paris, providing audio mastering for +650 releases including Pepe Bradock "Deep Burnt", and all Daft Punk's Crydamoure label. I've carved the French-Touch sound during 10 years and launched the lounge music movement. I initiated the first raves in France with my friend Manu Casana, sound-designed Karl Lagerfeld's shows amongst others. This is my new projet. 100 compilations, sharing my personal selection of the best contemporary music, mixed together in the most eclectic way, yet creating an unforgettable journey. This is my "Collection".

J’ai le plaisir de vous présenter « Collection 001 », le premier volume d’une série de 100 compilations, pensée comme une véritable anthologie personnelle de la musique moderne – du 20ème siècle à nos jours. 

L’inspiration de ce premier opus, qui se poursuivra dans les suivants, prend source dans l’éclectisme au service du voyage musical, afin de faire vibrer le plus grand nombre d’auditeurs de tous âges. Chacun des morceaux choisis provient d’époques, de genres et de styles très différents, qui ne sont pas naturellement voués à se côtoyer dans un « mix ».

C’est ma vision de la musique généraliste et une suite logique à ce qu’avait initié en son temps la lounge-music. Ma volonté, c’est que le voyage du mix, mais aussi le voyage de chacun des morceaux qui le composent, soient riches et racontent une magnifique histoire.

Dans « Collection 001 », vous allez retrouver Miles Davis, The Cure, Joao Gilberto, Acid Pauli, et bien plus encore. J’ai même choisi de glisser un extrait de la symphonie n°5 de Gustave Malher, qui naît d’un morceau de hip-hop soyeux du groupe américain The Pharcyde. Nous vivons une époque où le temps s’est beaucoup accéléré, nous n’écoutons pratiquement plus de musique classique - exceptés les amoureux du genre - car elle nécessite d’y porter une complète attention.   

Ce premier volume est l’expression de ma sensibilité et débute un projet important, qui a l’ambition de faire partie du monde d’après… 

J’espère qu’il vous touchera en plein cœur.

Loot Radio 028: Nhar

“The suffering or the bad memories are as important as the good memories, and the good experiences. If you, sort of, can imagine life as being 99% of the time quite linear, and most of the time you're in a state of neither happiness nor sadness. And then that 1% of the time you experience moments of very crystallized happiness, or crystallized sadness, or loneliness or depression. And I believe all of those moments are very pertinent. It's like I said to you, that for me, it's mostly those crystallized moments of melancholy which are more inspirational to me. And in a strange way they become quite beautiful in their own way. Music that is sad, melancholic, depressing, is in a kind of perverse way more uplifting. I find happy music extremely depressing, mostly - mostly quite depressing. It's particularly this happy music that has no spirituality behind it - if it's just sort of mindless party music, it'd be quite depressing. But largely speaking, I was the kind of person that responds more to melancholia, and it makes me feel good. And I think the reason for this is, I think if you respond strongly to that kind of art, it's because in a way it makes you feel like you're not alone. So when we hear a very sad song, it makes us realize that we do share this kind of common human experience, and we're all kind of bonded in sadness and melancholia and depression.”

― Steven Wilson

Welcome to my private parts. Consider the first hour of this mix a gentle sexy warmup and ice breaker. The second hour is a sweeping soundtrack to sweaty efforts, and the third hour is a deep exploration into very high territory. 

Happy exploring!

A bouncy, euphoric set recorded live from Salty Jack's presents The Night Lotus 05/31/25. For context, it was midnight in a warehouse in San Francisco, filled with fun friends, who were ready to go, so we exchanged vibes and I genre-hopped around as per usual. Credit to a receptive and loving dance floor where I felt inspired to bang it out a little more. Photo by Jen Peng
