Taken from the VA OPTIONAL ESSENTIALS Volume V - album 1, to be released on 3ToThe3rdMUSIC on dec. 2, 2022. (3x3x3.bandcamp.com). Written and produced by Jihell. Jihell was born in France in 1971 and has started to be involved in the music industry at the age of 11 presenting his own radio show during two years every Wednesday (the day frenchies have no school). At the age of 16 he discovers Hip Hop and the turntables and starts to learn by himself how to put two records together with a simple Hi-Fi turntable with no pitch on. With some friends he is part of one of the first Hip-Hop band in Mulhouse, France in 1987. As he works as a cook he spends all his money in buying records and studio material in order to produce his own music with the band. The big turn is coming in summer 1988 when he listen to a brand new sound coming from the USA and called House Music ! As off this time he starts to play all this new sound to the people in generalist clubs in the area of Mulhouse. However the clubs are not really open minded for this music yet… Basel is not far away and his music brings him to play more and more in Switzerland: Basel, Bern, Zurich, France: Paris, Strasbourg, Montpellier, Besançon, Nice, Cannes and as well Germany, Portugal, Greece, Rhodes etc… In the middle of the 90’s he create Elegance Production with Catalepsia with the goal of spreading the music of the several good producers of eastern France. Elegance parties are launched in Noumatrouff Mulhouse in 1998 and will be one of the best house party in town with guests like Jerome Pacman, Jef K, Rork, DIY and many more First commercial released on serial records in 1999 plus a few other tracks on German labels till 2001. After a 4 years break and a move to Geneva Switzerland he’s taking the opportunity to be in one of the legendary techno clubs in Switzerland: Weetamix. During more than two years he will be playing alongside the biggest dj’s names and regain the taste of producing music. 2022 is here and Jihell is producing more than ever and will certainly make you dance wherever you are…
