But also.. Cooking, Design, Travelling, and.. Hmm Guess What !
Music
Please check my page at Discogs
to get the idea, hehe..The Records listed there are the ones I'm likely to play when I'm spinning in gigs (Downtempo-Elektrodub-ChillOut)..
But I'm also on Hip-Hop, Reggae, Ska, and many more !
And when it comes about serious Dancing, well, my bread will be Progressive stuff, call it House, Trance, Techno, Elektro, whatever, I like my vibration to be fat, steady and in some way "Dirty" !

Arnaud Profile finally updated.. Ffeeww !!! Posted at 10:06 AM Aug 30 view more
I'm just coming back from a 6 months travel in India, and I had such a groundbreaking experience there ! Thank you India Ma, thank you to every lovely people I've met there, we will see us again, for sure !! This is a visual I made to celebrate this experience. It is very influenced by the cover of the compilation "Indiarama", I just felt like giving my own interpretation of it, hehe!
.:That's just me:.
Who am I ? Mmmh, sometimes graphic designer (I've lately got the immense chance and honour to win the contest set up by legendary Six Degrees Records to celebrate their 10 years of existence, you can see the related design below), sometimes (very) lazy, sometimes spinning Chill Out, Downtempo, Phunkey, Mellow, Doped Beats in clubs, restaurants, festivals, ..., sometimes dancing, sometimes cooking, sometimes roaming in town with the longboard, to sum up trying to enjoy life, and to understand that world I was thrown in, during the summer solstice of the year 79..
.:My Musical Background and Present:.
To speak about Music a little bit, well, thanks to my geographical situation, very close to the boarders with Germany and Switzerland, and not far from Belgium, I'm a long time party goer, discovering the electronic music in 1996, after a punk and hip-hop period. Seeker of the "vibration" as I like to say it, I realized thanks to a good friend that the vibration definitely attends the down-tempo music, and since then I'm doing my best to collect sweet records here and there. Seduced by the easy-going spirit floating around the chill-out I started spinning some records in local parties and quickly crossed the boarder to play in Germany, and Switzerland where the amount of parties used to be much more consistant. I like my sets to be smoothly danceable for the people who are in the mood for it, and suggest ethnic beats as well as more elektro/urban stuff. In the summer 2004 I opened the Transit festival in Spain which was my first gig of that "size", and since then spinned some Music in places like the french Arcadia festival, the spanish NYE's Existence festival, the Batofar in Paris, and places of my region..
.:My Music Player:. (top of the page)
About the music you can hear with the mp3 player here, you'll hear first my newest mix, "Ethnotecknology" something I wanted to make for a while now, and I could finally gather the energy and the material to work on it. It is quite influenced by the mixed compilation "As Far As : A Dj-Mix" that was set up by the great Dj Cheb I Sabbah for Six Degrees Recordings (2003).
I felt like following the same concept of merging tribal beats and electronic music but decided to stick to some four to the floor beats structure. I can say I've worked quite hard on it, trying this, removing that, and so on, until I came to something quite decent (do I hope !). So here we go, I wish you enjoy this kind of mesmerizing ethno-techno Pot-Pourri, and I'd love to dedicate this session to a nice friend who sadly passed away while I was setting up the session, he was such a gentle person as well as a talented chill deejay. This is for you TokyoEye..
Then comes "Not Another Bleepy One" which is some kind of Deep Housey to Minimal Techno salad bowl with some of my afterhours sureshots.. Finally you'll hear "On a Journey through India", made to celebrate my trip there, from december 11th 2007 to June this year. I'm merging in Tech-house, Minimal Techno, Progressive House and Breakz with such this "Indian" influence..

Thanks for your support in 2009! Watch out for some great releases in 2010 on Parquet Recordings!!! Out Now: Solee - Vegas / Nighball (played & supported by Dave Seaman, Stephan Bodzin, Markus Kavka, DJ Hell and many more) Neotrance Essentials Vol. 2 compiled & mixed by Solee (incl. tracks by Trentemoller, Motorcitysoul, Nhar, Compuphonic and many more...) Now available at www.beatport.com!!! www.parquet-recordings.com
OUT NOW 'Fulltilt EP' from Glasgow outfit Mr Hajika.
4 slabs of groove driven tech house...
Fulltilt original is a chugging, bass heavy track with a subtle musicality that develops throughout. Dr. Bergers remix is a stripped down deeper edit, with an infectious flow that maintains the essence of the original. Similarly to Dr. Berger, Alex Fiction strips back the layers to uncover an electronic soul which builds into an intelligently emotive interpretation, if slightly twisted. Completing the package is 'Nitemoves' which shares the big sound of Fulltilt, but with a more progressive, melodic vibe."
How are you, Arnaud? Haven't checked in on you lately, so I swung by to wish you a happy halloween & hope you are feeling well! Listen, I have another track up on my page, "Attack Of The Mushroom People." You can Hear it right Now, if you'd like at: www.myspace.com/psychedelicpablo adios for now! Pablo
