 At 25 years old, Shade appears as the up-and-coming dj everybody talks about.
 
On a Friday night, after listening by chance to a mix by Laurent Garnier on Radio Nova, he decided to give up his philosophie and literature studies at La Sorbonne to exclusively dedicate himself to électronic music.
 
Some artists such as Derrick May, Ront Trent, Chez Damier, Derrick Carter, Blaze or Moodyman have led him to find his own musical style. He has permanently settled on a sexy deep house inspired
by the sound of Detroit, San Francisco and Chicago. From Snowtronix 2000 to the Jazz Festival of Nancy, from the Zenith to the Rex Club in Paris, Shade has joined in all the biggest French events. He has also been given residencies in La Mezzanine de l?Alcazar , in the Kwality Afters of Batofar together with Dan Ghenacia, as well as in parties such as Perfect in la Fabrique and Superstars in the Queen by the side of Luke Solomon or Kenny Hawkes.  At 20 years old, he signed for Pschent Label and mixed the CD 2 of the first compilation « La Mezzanine de l?Alcazar » (65.000 copies sold).
