Birdy aka Xavier Duquesne Born in Paris in 1972, Birdy first got in touch with electronic music in the year 1989, during a trip to Detroit where he spent most of his time in underground clubs. A few years later, he started working for various party organizers in Lyon and began to spin records at private rave parties. Famous French Progressive DJ Max Le Sale Gosse then decided to book him for an official party. And his career took a big step forward. His skills brought him up to play in clubs like Space and Fridge in Lyon and abroad in Spain and Lithuania, among other locations. Recently he met with Nûgen, a talented French progressive house producer, and became part of the Nu-records label. Its on Nu Recs that Birdy released his first Dj-set album. After settling down in Paris, he played at Folies Pigale, Vynil, Batofar, les bains douches, took part in the huge Techno Parade, and currently organizes private events going towards progressive sounds, inspired by artists like Timo Maas, Francesco Farfa, Sasha, Digweed, Luke Dzierzek or Chris Lake… Together with Nugen they performed at Morphismes’s parties « Quattrocento » which soon became the best progressive house parties in Paris. 2006 took a new turn with the birth of the Connected Parties, along with deejays Faskil, Be (KRM, Atlant rec.) and Boombatcha, Uk (Sumsonic). Already a huge success, those parties have an unmatchable family spirit. NÛ RECORDS LAUNCH - www.nu-records.com Nû Records launches with the release of: Somebody EP by Superstars!
