Inspirations - Pépé Bradock

Let's kick off this Inspirations topic with my all-time favourite French electronic music producer, Julien Auger AKA Pépé Bradock. For more than ten years now, he's been blessing us with some of the finest house music one could ever dream of.

It all started in the mid-nineties in the Paris area. Coming from a jazz/funk background, Julien then turned onto the hip-hop movement, discovering turntablism and graffiti art. That particularly rich era in music also let him discover the rave culture and its main associated genres, house and techno. He released his first house tracks alongside Ark under the Trankilou moniker in 1996.

Welcome to the Lazy Blog

Finally.

I've been meaning to do this since I stopped the Pump Up The Jazz radioshow on Campus Paris, back in 2007. Having my own blog seemed like the next logical step as I'm a bit of a control freak and wanted to do something on my own. The backside of this is that nobody's gonna kick you in the ass to move on and actually get on to it.

So... It took me 3 years to eventually set up this thing. For the moment this is really minimal and I have to say, not particularly planned. Do I care? Not that much. At some point, one has to take the plunge. I'm doing it at this very moment, typing these few words. Let's see where it takes me... where it takes us actually!

And to start things off nicely, here are a couple of mixes from my archives. Hope you'll like them...

Stay tuned!
