Based in Hackney, east London, but born in Paris 25 years ago, Pierre learned to make music on a cheap keyboard workstation when he was a teenager living in Curitiba, Brazil at the turn of the decade. At 16, Pierre discovered the finer side to electronic music when he attended a Kompakt label night in Paris. Hearing Closer Musik, the duo of Matias Aguayo and Dirk Leyers, perform for the first time had a profound effect on him. Moving to London to study film in 2003, Pierre embraced DJing and studio engineering as part-time jobs. He got to grips with his gear and honed his subtle brand of techno for the French label Initial Cuts. More recently, he also ran the monthly Shoreditch night Millennium Disco, booking a long list of emerging talents that today reads like a ‘who’s who’ of modern house.
