Welcome FLuiD, a glass of?
Ti punch please.

How was your childhood environment, where it was, did you have vinyl… 
I grew up in a small village, somewhere between gypsy and punk. I was lucky to have responsible parents who had small vinyl collection with recordds from the Beatles to Woodstock live recordings, and some French classic songs, but I wanted to listen to the Jackson 5 and Prince.
Then I slowly discovered underground culture, with many strong personalities, especially through music.


Your first approach to DJing? 
At Terminal Export, in Nancy in 2000. Around 6AM. the two DJ who was playing pushed me behind the decks. I was in total discomfort but an incredible feeling.


How many vinyls do you have in your private collection and when you are digging what obsesse you? 
I own a small collection, around 1000 vinyls. I’ve been a father for 17 years, so I use timecode vinyl for financial reasons. I mostly digging vinyl from 80s hip-hop and jungle music.

Can you explain us your new mix below? 
I’m starting from UK garage, with a deep evolution, slowly fading into massive bass, sprinkled with old-school breaks and UK grime.
