It's so simply the more logical for me. People call me Yaz since a long time ago. So when I gotta save my songs on CD, I wrote Yaz "Trax".

I push my "LIVE SET" in Sound Systems, free parties, everywhere I can. I enjoy this, it's a main thing to see reaction of the public.
Im searchin for DATES and PLACES to play live ...

I doesn't exist without the net! The world is so big!

"upset setup" is just my promotional album. Now Im working on the commercial album who's gonna be out on 2007, this one gonna have a real crazy tunes. My music is a little different, so I want to set up my own label "Contre-Courant 21", I got my studio projects at home (I call it "Trax Engineering" it's just fo'fun !!!) I don't want to lose time and waiting for a major or sucking hard on a label manager who's going to drive my sounds or who never going to call me back! I'm like Jesus the Christ and I think I know what the street reclaims! My ambition is first to put my songs all over your punk heads for free. My promotional album is nothing. The songs are 2 or 3 years old and I make it without any materials that I got know for making music. The first album out on 2007 gonna be the real blaze, a dope surprise, but I don't want to tell more for know because my life is still f***ed up right now and I can loose everything tomorrow. NOTHING is sure for a young man trying to get hustlin'. I got connections closer with the European Mafia around the frontiers. I watching my back and really I want to give a f*** about them for giving me trust, giving me a chance to survive! People who's really make big thangs, playing big risks don't talk about it. People that you see driving expensive cars, wearing luxury clothes and all that bullshit is just fake ass playa. Real masters on this game is looking natural, just like a poor man, never catch somebodys eyes!

Born in 1977 june the 18th. From a french mother and a father coming from Algeria. He never really see his father who was fighting on the streets in a gang war between Algerians and Gypsies in Strasbourg city.
Live is live and not easy for Yaz. He got to know some about a sad reality at the age of 11. This was the first time he got troubles with the Police for a little delinquent act. But things don't stop and more problems comes with the Police for minors. Sometimes for robberys.

At this time music was already the more important things for him. He recognize himself through the french punk-rock "Berurier Noir", "Cock Sparrer", "The Clash"... at this time, he was already listen some ol'skool rap but he's calling this "Smurf Music".
Age is just a number... and every nights he was mobbin with adults, undercover, by going out of his home through the window. Drinking, skateboarding, rubbering, smoking, partying, pussys playing, posca-bombing-tagging (-Kats- was his first tag and became -Kash-), without any fear on the bus pick-pockets making, LA Gear shoes wearing, wild rushing into Surfer-Skater style clothes shops at night by robbering and windows breakings, blaze but always keep smiling.

Slowly, things changed. By having an incredible attract for toasting lyrics on the music. The first time he heard French toast, immediatly he try to imitate! It was like setting free !!! Magic, just like a piece of sunshine, something never touch before. Lyrics toasting exactly means GROWING up for real. Being a real man! With this unik sensation comes the believe of a futur are now existing. Raggamuffin was the first trip (Daddy Yod,
The adventure follow and he meet Frankie, a boy who was first a drum player. Coming from punk music or 'cold wave' style... He was talking about to making music. It was an Atari computer who managed a Korg M1 synth, an AKAI S950 sampler and a 4 track tape recorder.
Yaz was calling "Manitouh". This was his first name on music.
Yaz mobbin so and so with electro musics and hanging with some sound systems every weeks . He put this spirit on his tracks. He never stop to being updated with the new technologies on music creation and production systems.

In 2004, he start to produce music on a professional way.

Now, we just beginning to understand what's going on. One hand there's the "live act" and in the other side the "promotional" album calling -upset setup-. It seems that many people enjoy this motherf***ing Yaz Trax. Theses days is open minded, ready for hearing some kind of original music like this one that Yaz Trax is making...

The first official CD album is sheduled for september 2006, with a factory manufacture, plus a large commercial distribution. "Trax Engineering" is the label who's going to be creating.

The "oN DER CoNnEcTED" concept is growing everyday more and more... it is a melting spot, something like a power move of connections with all " free peoples" around the world of music... and it's only the beginning!

TRIBE, rap and mcs, electro-punk, booty, ... there's good music and talented artist in every styles.

This question is stupid because everything is wonderfull, I don't need no more then I got in the moment where I live, I just trippin!!!
