Where are you from and what is the music scene like?
72 Degrees from Switzerland also occurs in Chillout with these sets under the pseudo DJ Sleepy.
After almost twenty years of development with DJ Sleepy, Thierry launches into the Deep Techno and Organic music. Launched in summer 2019 he joined the collective "Les Fines Herbes", a small group freshly born and based in French-speaking Switzerland.
Based on his own experiences, he knows that it is the coming together of differences that engenders creativity. That is why, in the future, he will build his new world through 72 Degrees, constantly showing that he wants to perfect through these DJ creative set playing these favorite artists known and less known.
He may have been in the electronic music business for 20 years, but the real 72 Degrees mission is just beginning.
What is your greatest source of inspiration?
Nico Stojan, Joep Menkle, Acid Pauli
How have your life experiences influenced your music?
Since I was 15 I have listened to a lot of electronic music. First with artists like Chemical Brothers, DaftPunk, Prodidgy. I was then influenced by the hard core and especially the happy Dutch hard core. Passionate about musical instrument at 17 I produced, with 2 equally passionate friends, our first Hard Core vinyl on a Swiss label (Toxic Records). After making two vinyls over 2 years and touring the biggest party stages in Switzerland and elsewhere, the intoxication of music brought me to the PsyTrance stage. For almost 20 years I have traveled the world listening to these festivals, eclipses of the sun, traveling around the world. For 20 years I mixed Psy Chillout in festivals and parties in Switzerland.
In 2018 I rediscovered new sound, new sound and above all a lot of pleasure to play Deep House. These new effects, these new sounds, these incredible sets like Adriatique, Solomun makes me discover new sound horizons.
This is where 72 Degrees was born. When I play, everyone lands and discovers new sounds and follows my energy to dance and express my smile of happiness.
All my DJ sets are unique, people follow my atmosphere, for me it's always like a party, a festival of colors and sounds … It allows people who follow this kind of music to discover more around their world and connected to their own Universes, to be within themselves, to feel their body and to travel inside their dreams!
So … I also share their dreams <3
