Bio
First drawn to rock, then hip hop, SleepingWater was ultimately won over by house music and the free party world and immediately connected with the underground electronic music community. After spending some time learning his craft and making some key contacts, this music expert was noticed for his great knowledge of music and skills at the turntables. This gave him the opportunity to share the bill with several big names of the techno scene such as Iguana, Frekhao, and Teknambule, to name but a few. Very well received in Marseille, he soon performed with local artists in several top venues of southern France. He was selected as the official DJ for a makeup event at the Make up shop (MAC) in Marseille and was also closely involved in the launch of Collectif DTC with DJ Eneko, whose sounds and sets are essentially hard minimal/techno. Various encounters led him to join the emerging Electrocute collective, the organization Teknicolor and the association Family Smile. He has also been behind the electro swing projects launched at Yoraskyora. He was discovered and supported by the promoter Musical Therapy and eventually joined this Marseille-based entity as artistic director. SleepingWater is featured on the Metric System Volume 1 compilation released in January 2015 and on the Artists In Action compilation by the end of 2015. He is currently working on an Album for the begining of the 2016. He is humble, passionate about his craft and amazingly adaptable. By tapping into a surprisingly rich musical world, he can adjust his sets to better suit his current state of mind and every situation. This rich music background is reflected in his mixes and productions. Hard to label, he produces both ambiance music and tracks for the dance floor. Sometimes minimal, sometimes , Ambiant, techno, trance, Acid or hip hop, his musical world is very broad and he strives to avoid restricting himself to any specific genre. During the second half of 2014, he decided to separate his work and ethics into two categories. Thus was born his alias Vulcain, under which he decided to put forth his "underground" productions. He still uses his pseudonym SleepingWater for his "mainstream" productions and DJ sets.
