My heart beats in time with the rhythms that surround us, whether it’s the pulse of an upbeat dance track or the delicate strumming of an acoustic guitar. I cherish the moments spent sharing playlists with friends, debating the merits of different artists, and immersing myself in live performances that create an exhilarating bond between musician and listener. For me, music isn’t just a hobby—it’s a lifelong journey filled with evolution, discovery, and an ever-deepening appreciation for the power of sound.

Acid Washed is a collective process primarily, deteriorating sounds amongst souvenirs, friends, home studios and analogue equipment. It follows the blueprint devised over the past year by DJ’s keen on using modern and vintage equipment to create sophisticated electronics with a sharp pop aesthetic.

Swiss dj and producer Plastique De Rêve hails from Geneva and has just returned home after 20 years living in Berlin.

Born in Australia, raised to 70s electronic disco and his parents’ Kraftwerk records in the outskirts of Nairobi, then to DAF, new wave and EBM back in Europes' 1980s, Plastique has been fascinated by electronic sound since childhood and dabbling into electronic music since 1984 !!

After several live EBM and experimental performance groups, then acid, techno and early rave projects, contemporary art installations and KLF-inspired performances across the 90s, Plastique released two 12” electro bombs on International Deejay Gigolo Records at the beginning of this century, which helped him to become one of the pioneering names of the Swiss electro scene.

After the highlight of the Gigolo era, Plastique moved on with releases on other top international labels such as Turbo, Mental Groove, Kitty Yo, or DFA. His electro, disco, breakdance and acid house influenced productions have been played and playlisted by many top djs across the world.

Today Plastique De Rêve lives and works between Berlin and Geneva, as ever into futuristic electro, techno, acid house and cosmic disco, but also weird ambient soundtracks for film, installations and performances.

Plastique is also one half of cosmic disco duo NOO signed to Optimo Music Disco Plate, and has just released the first album of an ambient side-project called Ange Du Bizarre.

Since 2019 he is also co-host and producer of the Sound Of The System radio shows on Berlin's independent station reboot.fm, together with Andrew Claristidge (Acid Washed).

GNOM
Former photographer/lightpainter.
Music lover.
Friend with Dj Sextoy, I hung out with the parisian scene in the mid 90's : there were my Pulp and Rex years full of craziness , parties and friends.
Birth of my son... moved to Avignon to document the body modification movement which started there at Body Art.
I slowly quit photography.
2012 -  I got back to electronic music , bought my first controller and started mixing: It pulled me out of my depression.
That particular kind of music is so strong and emotional , that it replaced photography. 
I had recovered.
2016 - I  put out my 50th Mix/Podcast with my new gear (XDJ's700+Xone23). 
I am under various influences as Dark Disco / Electro and all kinds of Waves.
My mixes are images of the moment. 
ENJOY.
