BIOGRAPHIE

Je suis musicien depuis l'age de 5 ans. J'ai joué du violon
pendant une dizaine d'année avant de me mettre à la guitare
en autodidacte.

FUNK, AFRO, ROCK & MUSIQUE PSYCHEDELIQUE sont à la base
de ma musique ou des sonorités indiennes viennent se greffer
car je joue du SITAR indien depuis maintenant 11 ans !

Je suis devenu DJ à Radio Campus Toulouse en 1997, et
depuis, dés que possible je pose mes vinyles pour faire
fondre les semelles sur le DANCE FLOOR !

FUNK 60'S et 70'S, REGGAE ROOTS, PSYCHEDELIK GROOVES, WORLD FUNK & BOLLYWOOD SONGS ...

Tout ce qui Groove et qui a du sens mélodique me touche particulièrement.


PAIKAN & THE SADHUS

First French artist with the British label Jazzman records, Paikan and the
Sadhus is a project led by the musician, DJ and producer Paikan.
It's a subtle mix of afro funk grooves, psychedelic guitars and heavy
funky bass.
Paikan's Indian sitar, real star of the project, develops themes and solos together with Aldo Guinart's saxophone.
With "Dance floor fight", Prince Mamba opens with his warm voice,
and Djemzo is the guest guitar player on "Afro on the rocks".
3 titles on the first 12 inches
A forthcoming album is forecast for 2010 with an even more 70s feel arrangement.

BIOGRAPHY

I’m a musician since the age of 5. I’ve played violin during about 10 years at the conservatory (classical music).

When I was a teenage,I started to study guitar by myself. ROCK, REGGAE & FUNK are the bases of my music. I play sitar since 11 years !

I became DJ at radio campus in Toulouse in 1997. until 2004 I played for a lot of parties & concerts & festivals: I used to play Asian Breakbeat, Jungle, UK Drum & Bass, Dub Elektro... Now, I play less elektro more funky sounds: 60’s & 70’s funk, Reggae, Rock Steady, Psychedelik groove, World funk & Bollywood funky tracks. I play every music that makes my shoes moving!

I’ve toured with 3 bands between 1999 & 2004:
- KRAF wich was an elektro dub band
- LA TRICONTINENTAAL wich was asian elektro & techno vibes
- LONE KENT, a very good guitar player (I’ve played turntables in the trio he leads from 2001 to 2003)
