Joakim Bouaziz is JOAKIM, main actor of the new, french electronic music wave. Emanating from the conservatorium, he took piano lessons since the age of six with the Master Abdel Rahman El Bacha. During his adolescence he discovers indie Rock to then emmerge deeply into electronic music, guided by Labels like Warp or Mo´Wax in the middle of the nineties. It is more or less coincedently that he shows interest for producing music, it was the day when a colleague from school forgot his synthesizer in his room. There he discovered new possibilities of sound and finally sends his demos to Gilb´R, founder and head of Versatile Records. After some months of work, Joakims first album “Tigersushi” was released in 1999 on the sublabel of Versatile Records, Future Talk, dedicating itself to experimental music.
