The french DJ seems to have such an easiness, that he makes us believe that his work is easy... However, for more than fifteen years, Dj Poska polished his craft and nowadays mixes almost as he breathes. Parties, battles, mixtapes, radio shows, compilations, productions.... The gentleman excels in all fields of his art. Bite early on by the Hip Hop virus, the young parisian sets his choice on the one's and two's. His progress is fast and amazing. Parties, Rap... First Coup d'etat in 1996 in duets with Dj Doze, Poska finishes third in the prestigious DMC DJs' World Champions Competition. But DJ Poska will remain forever in the History of French Hip Hop featuring among the pioneers of the mixed tapes, at the same title than DJ Cut Killer and DJ Clyde. Mixed Titles, freestyles, remixes, DJ Poska's mixtapes baptised What's the Flavor monitorise the french hip hop by the pulse and keep the street updated on U.S. most recent releases... On the local tip, his "tapes" reveal the cream of french rap or confirm the best ones with anthology freestyles : Diam's, Sniper, Passi, Akhenaton, MC Jean Gab'1, 113, Rohff, Oxmo Puccino, Disiz la peste, Neg'Marrons, Pit Baccardi, Lord Kossity, Busta Flex, Psy 4 de la Rime... The "What's the Flavor" series will outnumber the 50 volumes, and even lead to an offical release with Universal in the spring of 1998, and then later, with the Virgin and Sony labels !! Any of these community service achievements will satisfy any Dj, but only reflects a part of DJ Poska's, whose collective is Funky Maestro. He also produces (the album Homecore, Old School movie soundtrack, remixes), hosts radio shows (successively on Generations,Skyrock, FG...) and holds the turntables of many prestigious artistes while touring (Oxmo Puccino, 20 dates in France in 1999 , and Pit Baccardi with over 50 dates worldwide in 2000 and 2001...) DJ Poska don't ever forget the essence of his work to keep the crowd vibing on the musique that he loves. His gifts as a party DJ are no longer to be proven and one can widely appreciate the musicality of his mixes at any of these venues in Paris ( Le Palace, La Locomotive, Magnum Club, MCM Cafe, Midnight Express, Divan du Monde, Le Cap Ouest, Le Globo, L'Odyssee, Le Mirage....... Le 287,......). He also, deejayed in coutless parties all over France and the West Indies, Swizerland, Belgium, Portugual, England, Ivory Coast, Cameroun, Canada... Poska also presided in many snowboarding summits, field that he particularly cherishes : Gliss'Expo, Snow Pro at the Stadium of France, Quicksilver Cup, Playstation Boarder Tour, La Boucherie in Avoriaz, Big Air at Bercy, Arnette and Ethniess, Mondial du Snow at 2 Alpes, Mix & Fly at Risoul,... He also produced some tracks for the famous videos of Transworld. Energetic on the field, DJ Poska is also a tremendous executioner in the studio. Leaving you wondering if he ever sleep. Or so little. The biggest french record labels (Hostile, Premiere Classe, Nouvelle Donne...) steadily request his services for intros to their upcoming albums or compilations, just to profit of of that famous "magic touch", that is incisive and precise. To this day, Poska counts more than 1 million records sales (What's the Flavor ? vol. 1, 2 and 3, Une Speciale pour Les Halls vol. 1 et 2, R n' B Connection vol. 1, 2, and 3, Premiere Classe vol. 1 and 2, R n'B Dancefloor, Flow 2, Hip Hop Legends...) DJ Poska is gifted but does not keep his talent for himself. In two of DVDeejay's volumes (Hip Hop Deejaying lessons on DVD), he spreads many precious advices with endowment and good humor. Two volumes nowadays,mentioned as references. (For those who wouldn't want adventuring in the metal wheels' schooling, they can still enjoy Poska's sound on their cellphone because the DJ operates with BlingTones, hip hop ringtones provider!) Furthermore, Poska always thought about pushing others and got implied in developping artists. After Funky Maestro, the DJ joined Cyril Allouche (Executive Director of the Public Relations Agency, Bullet) and DJ Doze to give birth to the record label Big Broz, which first release is the album of John Gali, MC from Vitry, 94 and face of french hip hop. A new objective for 2006 and for DJ Poska, whose multiple talents make him a unique DJ. Music, please...
