DJING
Cobeia's been djing since 1999. Interested in an array of styles, he fishes out what sounds good to him, catching audiences with tracks that hold a musical quality that sounds honest to him.
He enjoys making people dance as well as putting together soundtracks for underground bars, art spaces and podcasts.
For the dancefloor he mainly plays italo, cosmic, disco, boogie, re-edits, oriental, no wave/post-punk, electro, wave, Chicago, acid house, a pinch of rave and old school techno! Mostly music with vintage synths, drum machines and a warm analogue sound.
Depending on the context, he also djs from his large record collection spawning across a variety of genres: jazz, soul, funk, folk, rock, punk, indie rock, african, tropical, reggae, dub, early dancehall, grime, dubstep, deconstructionist club music, electronic, contemporary, experimental musics…
Since he was 13 years old he's been a thirsty listener, collecting mostly music on Vinyl but also CDs, Digital, K7s & MDs.
In Berlin since 2011, he played Homopatik at ://about blank, JK, Griessmühle, Mensch Meier, Schrippe Hawaïi, Loophole, ACUD, Heiners, Trickster, Klunkerkranich, Antje Oeklesund, Urban Spree, Paloma, Zweiners, Freudenreich, Bar 25 & more... Since 2016, he's part of the Wet Delights cosmic disco collective.
In Geneva, he played since 2001 legendary Geneva squats/off venues (Escobar, Jack's House, Le Paresseux, Letage, Les Falaises, Duplex, Cave12, Pachinko, Walden… and la Dépendance in Rennens); art events & festivals (Fête Musique 2003/04/07...), Terrasse du Troc 2007 to 2010...), club nights (Zoo/Kab/L'Usine, 360° > Geneva's LGBT party) and around CH (Zukunft, Le Bourg, Dachstock, Fri-Son, QKC, Case à Choc).
