Profile: I was born when House Music was a kid in Detroit & Chicago, but I eventually felt into electronic music at 10 while hearing Daft Punk's Da Funk. My interest has been growing with the so-called Versailles' French touch AIR, Phoenix, Etienne de Crécy & friends. I'm still listening to French electronic music from the House of Laurent Garnier, St Germain or Dimitri From Paris, to the smooth I:Cube or Télépopmusik.
1999, a New-Yorker self-called Moby releases Play. I became fan and started collecting albums, maxis, EP's and rare mp3/stuff, even unreleased. I have now one of the world's biggest collection, reaching about 700 songs/mixes of his own material and 100 releases. I can trade mp3 to complete my digital collection (I'm looking for unreleased and demos).

I'm above all fond of Trip-Hop & Instrumental Hip Hop, especially the Ninja Tune releases (Blockhead, Bonobo, Herbaliser, The...), but also masterpieces by DJ Shadow, RJD2 or Wax Tailor.
I also like some more jazz-oriented artists like Cinematic Orchestra, The, DJ Cam and some Blue Note records by Troublemakers, Erik Truffaz or Madlib.
At least listen to old-school hip-hop (mostly jazzy), randomly A Tribe Called Quest, Guru's Jazzmatazz, C.L. Smooth, MC Solaar, IAM, and recently Hocus Pocus (4).
I do like collecting CD's but I'm also beginning to buy some rare vinyl's. Don't hesitate to contact me if you have something to sell in my wantlist. I do support free download, on condition that people then buy materials and go to live performances, which is my behaviour. Download enables discoveries, but kills music if not followed by an act of buying.

I'm selling some records I'm no longer interested in (or because I found a Limited Edition), feel free to have a look. Please note i will always sell them at a decent price not to make money but only to buy other ones. That's my conception of collecting.
