Rocked by the hiphop and reggae, living with a collective of parties promoters, Edsik came naturally to music. He started to practice turntables with techno sounds. His path crossed the one of pioneers such as Liza n’Elias, Christian Voguel, Angel Molina or Laurent Garnier… Quickly he felt in love with Big Beat & Breakbeat, the sound of producers from London complete & match his influences. After several meetings, he finally launches into the hip-hop and became a member of a rap group, Bastion Soudé. Together, they made several tracks and stages on the local scene. But, caught by his affinity for electronic sounds, it’s in the Drum n ‘Bass that he finds the perfect compromise. The dates follow: Lille, Brussels, Antwerp, Barcelona … We could have seen him alongside Big Red, Adam F, Rom1, True Playaz, J-Star, Honey Brown, Brother Culture … With his knowledge of machines and computers, Edsik quickly comes to the production of Drum n’Bass tracks, but also electro-hip hop instrumentals. Working the sample with ingenuity, he produces inspired tracks, which have been used for Skate, Graffiti, and African hip-hop DVDs. He collaborates with many artists (scratchers, MCs …), including Boulaone, guitarist Derouich Mohammed and the famous dancehall MC Bad Gyal Ce’cile (Kingston).
In 2007 he took part in the French-African project Trans West Africa. From this residence was born a production between Mauritanian traditional musicians and French producers, and a concert at the French Cultural Center in Nouakchott. It was during a radio show that his path crosses Da oof’s, a hip-hop turntablist. Together they make instrumentals, mixtapes, and occur alongside Dinner at the Thomson’s (FR-US), Maxxo, Mc Durrty Goodz (UK), Warrior Queen (UK JAM) Million Dan (UK) and Ruff Sqwad (UK)… They are preparing a live made of many influences (hip-hop, electro, jungle, dubstep), and also combining various medias (machines, turntables, Serato, video).
