About
I am 23 years old, I live in France and I have produced music for 3 years.
I started to produce music via Fl Studio software to have fun in the beginning and then I started to really get into it by testing different styles of music. House was a genre that quickly caught my passion.
My first EP “Humanity” was released a year ago on Neo Apparatus Records. It was the first time I signed to a label and to achieve that made me really happy. I’m also part of a local collective called La Mount Family, it’s a producer association who are mostly friends of mine.
To talk about my style: I prefer percussive beats, saturated drums and melody rather than raw. I am also a big sampling fan! I love re-using music from the past and other era’s. I am inspired by many artists such as Adryiano, Kettama and Demuja.

Q&A
Best event you have ever been to and why?
I would say seeing Mr Oizo live at Cabaret Vert, a festival in the north of France. It was so energetic, I really had a great evening!
Who would you like to go B2B with and why?
I dream of mixing alongside Denis Sluta. He thrills his audience with properly diverse set. I find that he succeeds in surprising his audience, which I believe is the key to a good set.
Who would you like to collaborate on a track with why?
I would really say Adryiano! His style really speaks to me, I often find myself listening to and playing his tracks. I am very inspired by what he does, he really has a particular energy that I like! And moreover, he’s a cool guy, which is important if you want to work together.
Which are your all-time favourite labels to dig tracks from?
I would say: Shall Not Fade, Rutilance Recordings and Heist Records
Which clubs do you like to play at and why?
I live in Nancy in the east of France and there are two big clubs which are really cool to go listen to artists but also play: The Envers Club and L’Ostra Club. If you are in Nancy, go to them!
How did you learn how to produce?
I started teaching myself by following tutorials on youtube to learn the basics of mixing and producing. The internet is really great to find out how to easily handle music software.
