History
Blond Boche discovered black music when he was young, thanks to his family (notably with his brother Skymark).
In 1992, he listened to the mystical album 'Mothership Connection' from Parliament, which gave him a revelation about funk music. In 1993, he began to listen to house music, recording radio transmissions on Couleur 3 like 'Métissages' or 'Pump It Up'. Since 1995, always on Couleur 3, he began to listen to Drum'n'Bass recordings mixes from djs Pietro Latino or Joey Bennett. He is directly captivated by the mishap in those breakbeats rhythms. With his friend Swissniak, he began to buy his first funk and house records.
In 1998, he went to Australia a couple of months where he discovered the didjeridoo which is a big revelation for him. He played everyday during hours in the tropical nature of this country.
Back in Switzerland, he realized that he could play the didjeridoo with drum'n'bass. In summer 1999, he played didjeridoo during hours with his radio box which is running drum'n'bass mixes from Peshay, Shy Fx or Andy C.
In 2000, he saw a concert of Roni Size & co who was playing drum'n'bass with computers, records, drums, mcs and bass. ¨ At that moment, first BJOC's concepts were born for him. Then he founds the group with dj Ouch! and mc Shamoon, and since 2001 extends it with other djs (Kama, Reakt, Colevile) and musicians (Hashb(y), Vibes Provider, Fab, Shane, Julien Z, Kama) in order to do their own compositions.
During this time, he began to mix Funky records with Swissniak in order to listen to their own sounds during parties. One year later, he met his girlfriend, Miss Shiny, and began to mix house music with her. At that moment, with Change's help, they found BHOC band.
Since 2002, Blond Boche develops his website in order to offer complete news about him and his djs & musicians friends. In the same time, continuing to invest in mixing, he plays the didjeridoo with his BJOC friends.
In 2004, Blond Boche has the honor to have one of his mix playing on radio transmission 'Métissages Couleur 3'. What a strange feeling to listen to his own mix on radio !
Since 2005, he begins to do his own compositions, alone or working with the B.O.C. members (Skymark, Ouch!, Hashby, S, Swissniak ...).
Blond Boche is a pure music lover always searching for the underground sound. He hates everything commercial.
His preferred house labels and artists are Kerri Chandler, Jovonn, Demarkus Lewis, Fred Everything, Mike Delgado, India, Full Intention, Trouble Men, Michael Watford, Romanthony, Claudio Coccoluto, Flat'n'Round, Camouflage, Deep Touch, Ibadan, King Street ... and many more (it must be deep, that's the way !)
