HomePlay Series - Episode #1 - Psy-Minimal Techno
finally on SoundCloud!

This first episode of my new series sits somewhere between minimal, dub deep techno and the psychedelic architecture of Psy Techno, a genre born at the crossroads of psytrance and techno.

Round, enveloping basses. Hypnotic grooves. And underneath, the detailed, intricate layering that Psy Techno carries from its psytrance roots, textures that move through your psyche and that open something up in your guts.

Not a genre you can pin down easily.
A feeling, more than a label.
And at least my own version of Psy Minimal Techno.

I can't wait to hear what you feel! 🏴‍☠️
Welcome aboard.
Put your headphones on 🎧 & Press play.

For years I played downtempo.
That chapter shaped me. And I am so grateful for it.

But my ears and taste are evolving, and actually moving back to the roots of the sounds that inspired me, the ones that made me cry on dance floors and healed the deepest part of me.
I’m talking about minimal, techno, minimal techno, minimal house, house, deep house, deep tech, psy techno, forest, dark psy...

I want to feel more freedom in what I choose to play, at the tempo I feel like playing.

Free to unleash the horses or lead you inwards.
Home Play Series is born from the desire to explore more sounds and experiment outside of the club and festival space. To get closer to the sound that has been evolving in me.

This is also an invitation
to create an intimate space with you,
to bring you into my home,
to take you into my full musical universe.
A space with no restriction.
I love every stage I’ve been trusted with, but there’s a version of my sound that asks for more time, more depth, later slots.
This series is how I share it.

I won’t wait for the perfect slot to explore it. And if this is the kind of journey you want to program, you know where to find me.

My new DJ set is online. 🌙

Recorded while opening "The Night Sky" at The Gardens of Babylon, one of those moments where the room slowly fills, the energy builds, and the journey begins.

Opening a night is a special exercise, not about playing the biggest tracks, but about building the atmosphere step by step.

Deep grooves, hypnotic energy, psychedelic edges.

If you feel like traveling for an hour and a half, the link is below.
Hope you enjoy the ride. 🤓

And to those who maybe were there, thank you for your presence and dancing with me. 🥳

Thank you for the 1053 plays on this set played at Fluctuations 💙
A musical journey tuned to how I felt after a challenging summer.

Influenced by the sounds that carried me through it.
Deeper at times. More housy, minimal & techno vibrations with that psychedelic twist I can’t resist 🌌

I digged differently, so it might surprise you.
These sounds moved me so much I want you to feel them too.
From my heart to yours.

Fluctuations.
Of life.
To honor the joy in our brightest moments.
To honor the courage we find in our darkest ones.
To accept and welcome the constant tides of change. 🌊

This set is also a tribute to Kaï, a captive dolphin in Japan.
Through Project Anima, together with my friend Leina Sato we are working to offer him a dignified and peaceful end of life in the sea, by creating an authentic dolphin sanctuary on Kakeroma Island.
Kaï somehow helped me get out of a challenging phase of my life,
where I was mentally stuck in my own mental cage.

Fluctuations Festival is a nomadic gathering taking place along the rivers of Europe, a celebration of water, movement, and transformation. It embraces and encourages positive change, for a positive impact.

Musically, this set mirrors the waves I surfed this summer, sometimes soft and fluid, sometimes wild and unpredictable, moving through emotions, states, and inner tides.

One of the most touching moments for me was having my mum in the crowd for the first time. Seeing her dance for two hours straight filled my heart and reminded me why I play: to create joy & connection 💜

In a way, this set is a celebration, of the pause I’ve been called to take, to recharge, of the movement I’ve embraced to heal, and of the music that kept me inspired far from the festival rush.

It’s also a reflection of where my taste and sound are evolving, bridging minimal house, techno, and house influences, guided by emotion, intention, and the energy of the present moment.

I hope this mix takes you on a journey through your own waves, reminding you to move, breathe, feel, and flow.

With gratitude to the entire Fluctuations team for inviting me, and to everyone who danced, supported, and shared this moment. 🙏

Love you,
Sound you,
Sea you,

I can’t wait to share the music that healed me this summer… ✨These past months I tuned inward, nurturing my body & mind, digging a lot, opening my curiosity to new sounds, expanding my inspiration in different ways. Now I’m ready to tune outward, with you. 💙

Life story 🐬
In 2018, I attended a festival for the first time at L'arbre aux étoiles in Normandy. I didn’t know it back then, but this place would change my life. It was there that I met people and projects that awakened in me a new path, a deeper connection with the Living, and the desire to act in its service. These encounters guided me and set me on the journey I am still walking today.

Seven years later, I return. But this time, not as a participant… as an artist 🌊🎶

This Friday evening at 7:30pm, at the Ecotopies Festival, I will take you into “The Cetacean Odyssey”, an immersive sonic journey into the heart of the Ocean, carried by the songs of whales, dolphins, and orcas. A journey inviting us to weave back our profound bonds with the wisdom of the Ocean and to shift from separation to unity. It is about reimagining our values, moving beyond materialism and individualism to place love, community, and ecological sustainability at the center of our lives.

Music, as a true sonic narrative, holds the power to transform our realities, to carry new stories, and to give a voice to the voiceless. I deeply believe that by freeing the cetaceans, we also free our own consciousness from its mental cages, opening the way to peaceful coexistence between species.

This odyssey is a call for love in action, for compassion and empathy, to transform our society and our relationship with the Living.

It is with great joy and emotion that I share this musical project, the fruit of a year of work, in this place that witnessed the beginning of my transformation. Thank you Cyril Guiraud and Maÿlis Guiraud for your invitation, and thank you to all those who have crossed my path and continue to inspire me.
