DEHEB (Prononced "Day-Heb", means gold in arab), grew up in France. His love for music
originated with his dad, who used to play Stevie Wonder or Michael Jackson's records every
saturday.
A few years later, he and his brother used to sneak out of their room to watch "Rapline", one of
the first hip hop show on french TV. That's when he discovered some of the early rap videos,
and he rapidly became a fan of Public Enemy and De La Soul.
Deheb started deejaying in 1997. In 2001 he issued his first mixtape "La chronique"(the
chronic), on which he remixed some of the year's biggest rap tunes on his own beats. 2004 was
the year of "Back to the Break" (with b-boy Bonz), a mix cd for b-boys and djs, with a soul-
funk/old school rap tracklisting. Then, in 2005, came the french critically acclaimed "Lexxfiles", a
mix album with rapper Lexxcoop.
The french dj really switched to beatmaking around 2004, producing hip hop beats with a huge
funky influence. In 2006, he produced "Top of the block pt.2" for Apani ft.Big Noyd. This first
american collaboration was a big turn out in his career, and he's been working with US artists
ever since.
He established himself working with mcs like Apani, Shabaam Sahdeeq, Emilio Rojas or
Dynas. Deheb also got recognised and encouraged by artists such as Pharoahe Monch or DJ
Spinna. He still works as a dj, and he has opened for Jazzy Jeff and DJ Premier.
In 2020 Deheb still works as a dj and beatmaker, producing funk and abstract hip hop as a part
of the french duo "funky Bijou" and working as a Dj and keyboardist in the afro band
TIOBAFELO.

Passionate about musical collage and sampling, Azaxx offers his first productions on French label
"Mobil Home", on which he released his 1st album "Launch party" which gave rise to a
7 inch produced by Freddy Fresh (Howlin Rec).
The meeting with Rob Luis founder of the label "Tru Thoughts" allows him to refine his productions.
Following the release of the highly regarded track "Fiesta Tropical" on a Tru Thoughts compilation, he
signed on this Brighton label for an EP and an album "The Exotic Delight Bay" in 2009.
Azaxx will then multiply collaborations, with Diesler "Monster Sneaker" and Kinny
TT label signatures.
In the meantime he will have worked on Alan Stivell's EXPLORE album.
In 2016, he signed an EP "The Dalston Junction" on Ashley Beedle's label (Ballistic Brothers X-
Press 2) EP supported by Laurent Garnier, Norman Cook, Danny Krivit ...
this project more Deep House has been playlisted by many radio stations around the world.
Azaxx also distinguished himself through the realization of a remix for Hi Fi Sean (the leader of Soup
Dragon)
The sound of Azaxx is rather eclectic, and oscillates between Rare Groove, Broken Beat, World, Jazz,
Soul, Funk, House, Hip Hop, '60s /'70s Groove, Latin and Afro vibes.
Aktshun, duo comprised of Marotti (Dj, Deep House producer and owner of Meso records) and Marrrrtin (Dj, Hip Hop producer as well as Breakdance with the group Funky Bijou and manager of the Stereophonk label).
