[edit] Biography
After studies in musicology (7 years at the Academy of Music Percussion and Piano), he decided to turn to electronic music where he met many successes. Primarily a DJ in Parisian club in his beginnings, little by little he started to become a true globetrotter while travelling to many countries where he established many contacts and exchanges with other DJs. He takes part in in many demonstrations related to electronic music (Coil Parade, Techno parades). In December 2005, his first compilation Club FG ZeMixx was released, from which the name is directly drawn from his podcasts, and in March 2007 he released the second volume, accompanied this time by a DVD.
He is featured on three of David Guetta's albums.
It should be noted that Joachim Garraud, within the framework of a partnership with Pioneer, took part in the development of turntable DVD VDJ-1000, allowing DJ's to mix the image as much as the sound.
