Presentation :
Once upon a time there was a place, Hotel Costes, and its music guru : Stéphane Pompougnac. Two names definitely linked to each other, as the music lovers all over the world have identified the place to its famous series of compilations. In Paris, Stéphane started out at Café Costes, at Le Queen, at Le diable des Lombards, but also at Le Privilège, the mythic backstage club of Le Palace, playing house music a long time before Chicago was a reference. Then, he moved moved on to Les Bains, where he encountered Claude Challe, who broadened his music scope, and one day he met up again with Jean-Louis Costes, who asked him to mix for a residency at his new hotel restaurant. This was back in 1997. Little by little, Stéphane started leaving his musical mark in the hôtel. The customers, hooked into his universe,asked him about his music and mix. This sparkled the idea of a compilation in order to spread in the world the spirit of the Hôtel Costes. Today, the compilations mixed by Stéphane Pompougnac have already spun round the earth, drawing more than two millions passengers a- board this parisian night-flight.

Djing in Italy, in New York, hopping from Bristol at Massive Attack’s party, In Ibiza, Tokyo, Djakarta, Beijing, Dubaï, Rio, whirling Nicole Kidman at Cannes festival for the release of “ Moulin Rouge ”, with Harrisson Ford for the 3rd Indiana Jones, performing at Cameron Diaz’s restaurant in Miami. Forever between planes. Mixing jet lags and music, he now looks at his trajectory with humour, feeling that this whirlwind is a little to much. He doesn’t want to get pegged under the heading of “DJ lounge mixer.” That would be a far too narrow way of grasping what he’s about. As a fulfil musician, he gets away now and then from the waves of hype by composing and producing his own songs. His two albums : Living On The Edge released in 2003 and Hello Mademoiselle in 2006 featuring Michael Stipe (REM), Clémentine Célarié, Noémi (from Zimpala), Cathy Battistessa, Juliette Oz, Tiger Lily, Alain Chamfort Linda Lee Hopkins ,Ného, Anthony Bamburyand also the voice of Yves Montant on Pour faire le portrait d'un oiseau, and Stéphane’s old time friend Charles Schillings. Today, Stéphane Pompougnac is one of the most required DJ, spreading the music à la française all over the world. Far from resting and looking at his success, and side to the Hôtel Costes compilations to which he still provides his talents, Stéphane has now created his own label : SPP and he is preparing unexpected uptempo grooves and surprises to be released during 2009.
