DJ Rascal - Wizard - PREVIEW (Work In Progress)

JARV’s lifelong love affair with music has deep roots, sprouting in the ‘70s influenced by six older siblings always spinning tunes.  Festivals have been a crucial part of his fabric since his first taste at Sweetwaters ‘83.  JARV’s sets reflect his broad musical palette, recreating his journey from  the reggae-infused snow and surf of Whanganui via the psychedelic experience of cave living in India and the melting pot that was the exploding dance culture of early ‘90s London. Now based in Tāmaki Makaurau, JARV's experimentation across music’s multiple genres continues to evolve. He knows how to party and how to bring the party.

I started by randomly mixing tracks and posting the mixes here, however bad they might have been. I now stream on twitch and upload mixes on my youtube, and some vods here. Thank you for being with me on my journey!!

Hello everyone, 🖐🏼I am a beatmaker and MC 💻🎛️🎹🥁🎤🎧

💣I write music to order and sell🎼, I am ready to cooperate with artists from all over the world. 
                                                                                                                                                     🌏🌍🌎✨
I ask you to coordinate 📝the copyright in your personal messages📮📁

I love creative music.  Music helps us to have good times, so necessary in the day to day. I hope my music fulfills that end.
  

I’m a creator at heart. Music has always been a natural part of my life — something that flows from within rather than something I chase for attention or recognition. I make music because I love the process itself — exploring sounds, layering emotions, and capturing moments.

I’m self-critical in a healthy way and grounded in reality. I know there are better artists out there, and that’s perfectly fine. I don’t create to compete; I create to express. My priority in life is my family — providing for them and keeping things balanced.

Music, for me, is a space of peace and authenticity. I’ve made tracks that people enjoyed, and I’m grateful for that, but what matters most is that I stay true to myself and to the joy of creating.

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 45 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"

Eternal gratitude to my Music Master, Jean-Paul S, who had the immense patience to teach me Music Theory.
