Jack De Marseille

Label management, production, remixes...after fifteen years behind the decks, French electronic music pioneer-DJ keeps on forging ahead. Fifteen years behind the decks and an obvious fact: Jack knows the dancefloor commandments inside out. He contributed creating them in France helping in the expansion of electronic music and also spreading the good word of French techno abroad. Nowadays, Jack de Marseille doesn't want anymore to look back on a past blending feat of arms and hour of glory. These last months allowed him to re-examine his practical artistic experience from every angle starting from his involvement on a global scene (Paris and his residency at Rex, Europe but also China, Japan, Israel, black Africa, Lebanon, South America...) to the fashion shows and his collaboration with Paco Rabanne or Jean Paul Gaultier. From the character known by everyone to the one involved in every field of electronic music, the native of Marseilles made a beneficial reorientation. It was the beginning of a new cycle starting with records production, remixes, label management...Owing to Wicked, set up in 2001, the artist gained a strong foothold in the record industry. The same year, on this very label he released his first tracks Got To Believe and Bump. Then followed the EP Party Time/Sweet Sensation and the long-awaited debut album Free My Music (Wagram). Thanks to that 17,000 copy-sold record, Jack's audience widens again. Wicked is at it again in 2004 with Digital Dancer/Michigan EP displayed next to the double mixed compilation 2Jack4U (commissioned by Wagram) on which Jack presents a taste of both his down tempo and dancefloor-oriented selections. After Acid Funk/Sex On Acid EP released the previous year, 2006 gets off to a good start thanks to remixes for Da Fresh or Audio Bullys, collaboration with international hip-hop artist P. Diddy and Eric Morillo (on Subliminal), and remix from new wave cult-synth-group Trisomie 21.
