Biographie:

Impossible to tie down to any one genre, Mod X fuses hip-hop, broken-beat, funk, house and more into a urban and unique freestyle concoction of rhythms and vocals that is hard to resist. In addition to creating a new way of thinking music nowadays, his music also provides us a sensible point of view of the World we are living in.

2002's debut album “Demons & Saints” (Ice & Spice Records) was well received by radios in his native France. Advertising execs were quick to jump on board and Mod X has provided the soundtrack to international campaigns by several corporate behemoths. February 2005 saw Mod X release his first 12" vinyl “The Quest” again on Ice & Spice. With a remix from Paul Murphy (Afro Art Records), The Quest gained Mod X international recognition on the broken-beat scene.

A few months later, he released on Ice & Spice Records two new 12" releases “Picture Man” featuring Remixes from Kid Loco and a 3 months later 'Political Sun' featuring a great re-interpretation by Jon Kennedy (Grand Central/ Tru Thoughts)

At the same time, Mod X remix actions became more and more popular as he worked for many artists through the globe like Solidaze, SLS, Man in a Room, Timewarp Inc, Hain Teny, Kemo…

Also, Mod X has been touring hard during the last 2 years with his band or as a Dj all over France and Europe (Greece, Belgium, Italy, Serbia…) sharing the stage with Kid loco, Paul Murphy, Snooba, Dj Oil, Outlines, Cayetano, Timewarp Inc, Dj Celine… That was a great and very beneficial experience for himself and his music also in having a feedback from a European audience.

After learning and evolving a lot, in early 2007, he started writing and producing its second album called “THIS IS NOT JAZZ”, a collection of 12 songs which is now completed at the moment with different style of remixes.

Next months will see Mod X releasing several records on different labels such as an exclusive track on the upcoming Afro Art Compilation amongst Fort Knox Five, Kid Loco and many famous artists, a vocal featuring on “2 Min Stop” (Sala Sonora Records/ Greece) a couple of remixes on vinyl on Rogue State Records (UK) and also a new and bangin collaboration with rising Russian star City Zen on vinyl on Sirup Records (Switzerland).
