St Plomb's been djing since the early 90's, spinning funk, rare groove and hip-hop, at a time when he was also a drummer in several jazz-funk combos. Ten years later he starts producing electronic music and it's not long before he releases his tracks a..
"St Plomb is a cheeky bastard" wrote journalist P. Sherburne, referring to the versatility of St Plomb's mixes. No rules, no kitchen books, but an addiction to the groove : No wonder since he started as a funk-rock drummer, before exchanging his sticks for a pair of turntables and a sampler. But he kept the funk though, as a main ingredient of his production, so that his tracks, his DJ and live sets, as much as his compositions for contemporary dance shows have been making their way since the early nineties to find that own flavour.
From AgeHa and Sonàrsounds Festival (Tokyo) to Fabric (London), from Dachkantine and Toni Molkerei (Zurich) to Panorama Bar (Berlin), Registratur (Munchen), Batofar (Paris), Loft (Lausanne), or to the Paleo Festival (Switzerland), St Plomb has been delivering his special blend of soulful grooves, sweaty shuffles, deep house and warm techno, sprinkled with old school obscure gems and driven by the latest hot plates.
On the production side, St Plomb has been heard all around, such as the underground hits "Rather Be", "A bat In my Shoe", or as "Today", "18 Years" and "123" from the critically acclaimed debut album "2006", which he wrote and produced with fellow dj from the swiss scene Crowdpleaser. Some of those tracks have been licensed to numerous mixes and compilations, among which Ivan Smagghe's "How To Kill The DJ", Tiga's "DJ Kiks", or Michael Mayer's "Immer2".
2009: You can take the tiger out of the jungle but you can't take the jungle out of the tiger. After some rightfully due family time, he's now back in the game with new fresh solo house production, starting with Flight Back on Contentismissing label EP "24h".
