Born in the summer of 1981 in Bordeaux, Julien discovered his passion in music when he began to play piano at the age of 6, in Douala, Cameroun, with a Russian teacher. Mmm, he has got a wonderful anecdote to share regarding the 5 years he studied piano with her; she had an amazing dog! Amazingly this gifted dog only barked when he played well; if not, he had no reaction! "This dog was awesome! Perhaps I owe my love of music to this special dog!" Julien said. Who knows? When he returned to France he continued playing piano until the age of 17. Since that time he has relinquished his efforts with the piano and has instead directed his focus towards using the keyboard and dj equipment to enhance his digital creations, which also furthers his overall understanding in music. As a matter of fact he has recently returned to playing the piano in a new jazz project he has been working on. Parallel to his experience with piano, when he was 14, he got his first machine: the Groovebox MC-303, made by Roland. "This day was so important for me because it meant that I could do what I always wanted. For the first time, I was able to create a complete song, with beats and melodies, with a little machine. That is one of the reasons that I began to learn the art of mixing two years later". Beginng with Trance Music, he played with the genre during his initial 2 years of mixing, progressed to playing Techno which he again perfected during 2 more years. Lastly, he turned towards Electro with its heavy beats and killer grooves along with rock and rap influence. "At the moment I am in a phase where I enjoy an eclectic range of music from several genres. I believe it is essential to learn something from every style of music I encounter and continually grow and mature. I try to put a little bit of everything in my sets - mainly electro - throwing in little touches of funky, jazz, soul, etc. (from samples from different sources); and of course I LOVE spinning some techno for those last fleeting hours of parties where the sun is rising and the vision of ecstasy is stamped on everyone's face".
