Sorry ...i'm just a composer, an author, a singer,a sound designer , an arranger and a producer who create dancefloor records for DJs who know how to use them to enlight their sets, and charts makers , aka people ,to gives them moments of emotions,of love , of joy and serenity - I love Music...And music loves me... Since a long time...I never play in a club with turntables...But i love how vinyls smells...and sounds...The way i work by taking and mixing elements from across a full range of electronic sounds, from progressive to funky , from techno to deep house, from trance to ambient.,but also from rock to pop music, or from dub to reggae to compose and construct grooves and songs is givin' me , each day of my life ,the key for inspiration... .Is simple... Basic.... but it works.. At least for me..So many human experiences so many projects , so many releases gives me the taste for tryin' and re-triyng ,every day ,every kind of music with so different people from every part of the planet... I'm always been noted for being a generous guy who lives for and thru his ecclectism and his passion for music..... simply... and forever... Then U don't find in my contact page a booking contact..
