Merry Christmas to everyone.
May the peace be with you and love path your way throughout this end of the year.
I am grateful for what 2023 brings to me and I am impatiently waiting for 2024 to happen.
Peace, love and spirituality for all.
Yours truly.

Had the honor to be invited for a set and interview with Clubbing TV , and bring my little boy on set. Thank you for welcoming me with such a great hospitality. Swipe for some highlights from that day..

Going through some pics from this past year, and feeling grateful for my journey, the people I met along the way and the opportunities given to me. Here’s a few snaps of me doing what I love most.. more to come..

As the calendar turns a new leaf, I find myself reflecting on the essence of discipline. Actually, I am reflecting on that twice a day, in the morning, and before to sleep. As I entering this new month, I wanted to share with you some random thoughts:
- Life's greatest lessons often emerge from moments of struggle and challenge.
- Kindness, happiness, and stoicism are my guiding stars. I always choose happiness, even when it takes different forms.
- Motivation can be fleeting, but discipline is unwavering. Embracing extreme ownership.
- Discipline, not motivation or fleeting happiness, steers my actions. I measure success by accomplishments, competence, achievements, and respect.
- Hard work is my antidote to life's challenges, an embodiment of persistence and resilience.

And today, I start this new month by planning December, the incoming week and more important... 2024 !

Here's to a new month filled with purpose, discipline, and the pursuit of our truest selves!

After one month in Russia, the family is now taking his trip back to Belgium.

First stop: Istanbul
Second stop: Brussels.

Focus – Embed that long-term goal in your mind. Burn it into your soul….but most important: do something about it. Every day. Every day: Do something that moves you closer towards that goal – that keeps the goal in sight and in focus.

Tomorrow, we are back to Belgium and I am entering the Destroyer Mode.

Remember that unofficial remix of Jul's hit "Flow Mitraillette" I dropped a while back? 🤔

24 hours dump from Sochi, Russia.

Right ahead of the weekend, and before coming back to Belgium after a few weeks in Russia, I wanted to share something with you, dear followers.
In the last couple of years, I've been grappling with uncertainty about my musical journey. Should I continue to produce? To what extent? And what are my true goals?

It's not something many admit because it doesn't sound cool, but I've been dealing with frustration in my musical path lately. This unpleasant feeling has led to a disconnect between who I am, what I represent, and what I deeply cherish. That behavior was childist and stupid since I didn't do much to succeed myself (at least, in music, my cybersecurity career is quite amazing right now).

I've also been shying away from social networks, holding back my music, afraid it might bother people or my personal life, always telling myself it wasn't the right time to share something. But then, when is it ever the 'right moment'?
I've hesitantly turned down some booking requests and collaboration offers from agencies, while paradoxically reaching out to agencies for similar opportunities. It's a bizarre contradiction, isn't it?

Social media often showcases just the highlights, but today, I want to be open about the internal battles I face. It's not easy to convince myself to post, but here I am, doing exactly that.

I've used the birth of my son as a reason to step back from gigs. While it was a valid reason at first, it's been a long time, and I now feel the pull back to the DJ booth.

That being said, whether you like, comment, or even unfollow after this post, I am grateful for your support so far. Some recents comments and feedbacks have been incredibly uplifting, in ways I couldn't have imagined. I am excited for what lies ahead and am looking forward to sharing this journey with you.

I'd love to hear your thoughts on overcoming personal and professional challenges. How do you find the strength to pursue your passions amidst life's complexities?

🇷🇺✈️ Russia Adventures! ✈️🇷🇺

Just wanted to share some random snapshots from the last weekend in Krasnodar. I bust my ass since I am in Russia and did not do a lot of things or enjoy the trip but here is a small overview.

I easily can say that times flies away because it has been 6 months since my last podcast.
Good news is during that time, I prepare to launch a new business and produce a lot of new tracks like I have been into the Room of Spirit and Time (Shout out to all my DBZ lovers).

La fatigue.

Let’s start a 36 hours trip to Russia, shall we ?
Brussels > Istanbul > Sochi > Krasnodar > Severskaya

I can easily count on my hands when I had to leave my beautiful family for a couple of days since Maxim born.
Today is truly heartbreaking.
While I am excited to come back to Brussels as I am heading tomorrow to Paris, then Munchen to speak at conferences and give trainings on cybersecurity, I had to let Lilly and Maxim-François in Gran Canaria for the next three weeks.
I already can’t wait to see them back the 20th of October.

🚀 Hedonism Party Crew - Agency & Events is growing; welcome 🎶

🌟Following recent discussions with a long-time friend, Lau'; multi club owner and art director in France I am super excited to extend Hedonism series event by adding our booking agency.

🎧 Agency's primary focus is on France and the Benelux territories. This choice is not only because we are both from France, making it more convenient. Moreover, we want to emphasize sustainability, with a keen eye on reducing our carbon footprint and environmental impact while securing gigs for artists.

🔥 For anyone interested to join the agency or book one of our artists, Lau' will be the main point of contact for bookings, accommodations, and day-to-day communication, while I'll be overseeing things and ensuring that day-to-day tasks and long-term goals align and excel.
