Originally playing whatever makes noises in a Nantes dodgy pop band influenced by seminal bands like Stone Roses, Happy Mondays, The Pixies or My Bloody Valentine, Julien Barthes turned into djing after being thrown into the dance craze in 1993 dancing his ass off a Laurent Garnier dj set.

Julien developed from there his djing style by playing in all the key parties in the Brittany area in France and made his first international appearance in Amsterdam in 1999.

Julien’s got his first breakthrough as a producer with Boris Herva as ‘Plaisir de France’, thanks to his encounter with the Pro Zak crew in 2000 and released several EPs that have being playlisted by djs from all across the house board.

But it’s his collaboration with Dan Ghenacia that really took Julien to the international light. Started as a production team under the name of Sweetlight & Dan Ghenacia (with a release on David Duriez’ label Brique Rouge), Julien continued the Sweetlight project with his production mate Alexis Desaegher on Dan Ghenacia’s label FreaK n’Chic.

The two EPs that followed ‘Mechaniques Remontees’ and ‘Abusator’ are both huge dancefloor hits.

Currently Julien and Alexis are working on several Sweetlight remixes for labels like Hi Phen, Skint or Most record and they are preparing their brand new Sweetlight live act while Julien is carrying on spinning all over Europe.
