HEALER SELECTA: by David Swindell (Time Out Magazine/ Nightlife Editor)
"Hero with a record box, DJ with a killer record collection, where Healer Selecta goes the party is sure to follow"
IMG 0218
When you see Healer Selecta’s smiling face as he spins everything from ultra-rare soul to snarling garage-rock to tough afro and latino beat, you’ll know why he’s called Healer Selecta. He’s a Healer because he likes to play dancefloor grooves that make people feel good, and he’s a Selecta because, well, he selects good records. His ‘international DANCE PARTY style’ throws out Rhythm & Blues Stompers and Jivers, Surf Guitars, Rockabilly Country Bop, Mambo, Rocksteady Ska and Reggae Rockers with ease…
The best thing about Healer Selecta is that everything he does is a product of passion and open-mindedness. The passion means that he will dig deeper through the vinyl vaults to find the most killer tunes, and the open-mindedness means that, as the Brazilian master Caetano Veloso once sang, it is forbidden to forbid.
His joyful presence and evident passion for music transforms any club where he spins his wax. Once booked is forever hooked. Club owners and promoters love the party atmosphere and fun-loving crowds that accompany him everywhere. There are few cool clubs in London and UK festivals that Healer Selecta hasn’t played at.
Healer also produced the RAISON D'ETRE CD feat the first ever recording and release of now super stars Noisettes, Charlie Winston, but also produced album of Size Nine, The Dustaphonics, etc..
HEALER SELECTA has officially Dj'd for Music legends such as BO DIDDLEY, IKE TURNER, CHUCK BERRY, DICK DALE, EARTHA KITT, TRASHMEN, WANDA JACKSON, GENE VINCENT 's BLUE CAPS, RUDDY GRAYZELL, QUESTION MARK & MYSTERIANS, THE WAILERS, DAVIE ALLAN, SCREAMING LORD SURCH, MANU CHAO, RITA MITZOUKO, but also for the new big acts of today, the like of VV BROWN, CHARLIE WINSTON, NOISETTES, He is RAISON D'ETRE SHOW resident DJ.

DJ HEALER SELECTA: by Rick Star (Live Music FM UK Editor)
DJ Healer Selecta has been described by Mojo magazine and Time Out as " Healer Selecta has made London swing again, hero with a record box" ... Well they weren't wrong, I'm usually not a fan of DJs, but when the DJ can mix like Healer Selecta and play some fantastic guitar riffs to his own mixes and dance away to himself at the same time .... then he has my vote. Anyway, any man that uses his forehead to head-butt the tubes of his valve amp and punctuate his already impressive guitar work, is obviously a man to watch! I've also rarely seen one of those smug dance DJs hold one record in his mouth while he selects another wild stomping track, all the while mixing like a mad-jazz monkey on amphetamines. I take my hat off to you DJ Healer Selecta sir!

"HEALER SELECTA HAS MADE LONDON SWING AGAIN"
By Will Hodgkinson (MOJO Magazine England)
HEALER SELECTA, is Mister RAISON D'ETRE, a Guitarman, Disc Jockey, Composer, Record Producer, Cinema Music Surpervisor, Arranger, Records collector, Music Consultant, Promoter- Show Producer. Record Dealer, Talent spoter/booker...
Yvan started young. At the age of 10 his father, cross that Yvan was listening to music rather than doing his schoolwork, broke all his records. Such a traumatic experience tightened his resolve to dedicate his life to them. A year later he was running his own radio show in his home town, digging the rebellious sounds of Gene Vincent and Bo Diddley and learning to play guitar over 45s by Link Wray, Magic Sam and Dick Dale.
By 18 he was putting on parties in the catacombs, squaring up to the local police and grooving to whatever hidden gems he dug out of the record boxes of depot vents across Europe and US. By 19 Yvan was running Rockabilly-Psychobilly- Blues- Soul -Garage Punk & Surf shows, (Gene Vincents Blue Caps, All Crypt records artists, Rudy Tutti Grayzell and many other Rockabilly legends) He was also the first one to bring ROBERT BELFOUR the legendary Memphis Bluesman in Europe back in 1994.
It was at London's and Las Vegas legendary late 90s rocknroll-Burlesque night The Frat Shack at the 333 in Shoreditch and The Las Vegas Grind Festival in Vegas, where Yvan was a resident DJ when he discovered the power that being free can have. Having played guitar in rock'n'roll & surf bands, The Blue Devils, Showman & The Thunderous Staccatos and The Sidekick, Yvan was firmly entrenched in the live rocking scene, but his musical tastes had always been broad. So he spun garage rock back to back with Soul, Rocksteady,Surf, Rockabilly, Afrobeat, Wild Samba and Rhythm & Blues, Latin Boogaloo,, Surf, etc... The purist scenesters were confused but the music lovers went wild. The way forward was clear from then on.
