DJ and dabbler in electronic music composing of a racy, engaging and thoughtful fusion of music, sounds and language. 

Host of the WANDERLUST show on Berlin's www.etikett-radio.com since 2017

Originaire de Lausanne (Suisse), cela fait une quinzaine d'années que j'ai découvert le monde de la musique électronique. Ayant commencé par la Detroit et la progressive, j’ai découvert de nouvelles sonorités au fil des années et mon style s'est affiné.

Jonglant ensuite pendant plusieurs années entre la HardTech et la Minimal, je me suis finalement orienté vers l'Electronica.

Ma musique a grandement été influencée par quelques-uns de mes artistes favoris tel que Daft Punk, ainsi que les Chemical Brothers, James Holden, Nathan Fake, John Hopkins, Rone, Joris Delacroix et bien d'autres encore.

J'ai commencé rapidement à produire mes propres morceaux et mixer ceux-ci pour pouvoir transmettre mon univers ainsi que partager ma vision de la musique.

J'ai longtemps mixé dans de nombreuses soirées privées « underground » ainsi que dans quelques bars à Lausanne. Ma passion me pousse aujourd’hui à viser plus haut, en donnant une dimension supplémentaire à mes productions et en me produisant devant un public de plus en plus large.
