Gatineau, Canada
House music has been part of my life for more than four decades.
I began DJing in the 1980s and spent the 1990s and early 2000s behind the decks in Ottawa's club and afterhours scene. What started with disco evolved through classic house, deep house, progressive sounds and techno — but the philosophy has remained the same: build a journey, trust your ears and let the records tell the story.
Vinyl remains at the heart of what I do. I still enjoy the tactile craft of mixing on Technics turntables, where every transition is hands-on and every mix is happening in the moment.
Mixcloud has become my home for preserving that history while continuing it. Here you'll find new sessions alongside mixes that reflect the records, sounds and atmosphere that shaped me.
More than 40 years later, I'm still mixing.
