From the very first beat, music has been more than a passion—it's been a way of life. I began DJing at the age of 18, spinning trance records at Le Contre Temps bar in Pau, France. What started as a local gig quickly evolved into something much greater. I became a resident at the iconic BPM Club and launched my own radio show on Paris One, where I curated and hosted a wide range of talent.
Being born nearby german border, my brother was a dj in local radio station playing all trance&house anthems from the 90s, bringing in the very streets of love parades before the 2000.

My sets and shows featured not only the local heroes of the Zona Norte scene, but also international heavyweights such as Cor Fijnman (Black Hole Recordings), Sander Van Doorn, Mark Norman, Marco V, Frank Traxx, and Mauro Picotto. A close friendship with Julius MC led to memorable performances alongside Brian Cross (Armada Ibiza) and club gigs throughout Spain and the UK.
Over time, my style evolved from euphoric trance to deeper, more progressive sounds, heavily inspired by the legendary John Digweed and Sasha. I had the chance to meet and play alongside them at Watersplash in Jersey—an unforgettable milestone.
As BPM Club transitioned into Bindy Club, my love for German electronic music found its stage. Fluent in German, I became a regular guest whenever Berlin’s underground legends came to town, thanks to Théo (official booker for Oscar Mulero). I shared lineups with artists like Sascha Funke (Kompakt, creator of Mango), Kiki (BPitch Control), Karotte, Michael Mayer, and many more. From 2010 to 2013, under the guidance of BPM Club’s Richard Fernandez, I became a key Itzela Resident DJ, performing every weekend for three years. My sets moved crowds of hundreds weekly—and sometimes thousands at regional festivals—cementing my role in the vibrant history of the Zona Norte scene.
In collaboration with Le Café du Parc (Matthieu from Le Pingouin Alternatif), I played for Kitsuné Club Nights and numerous open-air Fête de la Musique events, performing in front of hundreds. It was there I met Bruno (Xinobi), a favorite of mine, André Dalcan & Ludmila (Onirism) and Joachim Pastor, with whom I’ve stayed in touch since.
Though I never pursued music as a full-time profession, the passion never faded. My last live set was in 2014, opening for Sascha Braemer at Le Petit Bain in Paris.
My personal life has always danced to an electronic rhythm. I met my wife—an electronic music lover and longtime fan of Pulp—at Badaboum during a set by Chloé and Jennifer Cardini. In 2017, we were regulars at Concrete and Innervisions nights, vibing to Seth Troxler, Âme, Dixon, Stephan Bodzin, and Papa Sven (Väth), whom we followed around the globe.
2018 was our electronic world tour—Jan Blomqvist in Madrid, Trentemøller in London—and I proposed in New York, in front of the legendary Laurent Garnier.
Today, I still mix weekly at home, breaking my Beatport budget and diving deep into every streaming platform. SoundCloud remains my networking playground. Whenever I visit Berlin from Poland (where my wife’s family lives), you’ll find me on the dancefloor at Ritter Butzke, and in the past, Watergate for their epic closing parties.
I love music. I love people. And while this isn’t about food—just like DJing—I put the same soul into cooking as I do into mixing. Both are about creating moments that connect us.
