Nicolas has been operating under the name Mindphone for almost 20 years. Influenced by the French and English queer scenes and by artists such as Ivan Smagghe, Chloé, Jennifer Cardini (and many others), his selections are marked by dark and elegant electro sounds. Active on the mainly Walloon and Brussels stages, he also takes an active part in the non-profit organization DeepNoize (which has been making the Namur region dance since 2006).
Very eclectic, he also offers hyperpop selections under the name Guy Deluxe. Regardless of the musical style, the intention remains the same: to offer unique sonic journeys and a very personal approach to the dancefloor, with particular attention to the alternative aspect while taking care to avoid bangers.
This very personal, eclectic and narrative approach to the dancefloor can be seen in "Ce monde où tu n’existes pas" (“This world where you don’t exist”), his exclusive mix recorded for Sessions Sonores. After a first part of the set tinged with dark, intimate and delicate electro/house, Nicolas then increases the tension to take us into a conclusion to the set with hyperpop sounds. From 110 to 140 BPM, this is an (almost) complete journey through his spectrum of influences.
