History
After his début with his brother Laurent in the duo called: Scratch Pet Land, he received a critical success through his second solo release "Scratch The Hulu" where he combined absurdity humour, hip hop samples and tons of impressive sounds.[2] In the end of 2004, he joined the Mouse On Mars Europe tour that succeeded for him other gigs all around Europe. During 2010, he supported Ratatat for their concerts in France (Bataclan, La Machine du Moulin, Le Grand Mix, La Laiterie), the Netherlands and Belgium.
In 2011, he won the prestigious Belgian prize "Octave de la musique" in category electro.[3]
Biography
At an early age, during the summer holiday, his family had a car crash in the east-south of Belgium. He lost his father, mother and one of his brothers.[citation needed] There were five kids with the two parents in the car. The shock pushed him into a coma. At the hospital some days later, he remembered that it was the spirit of an elephant that brought him back to life.[4]
