With Captain XXI, every set unfolds as a borderless road trip — a musical journey where heritage meets modernity, and obscure grooves collide with contemporary rhythms and hidden sonic treasures. Generous, refined and driven by an endless spirit of discovery, his selections invite audiences to travel beyond genres and expectations.

A passionate record collector, relentless digger and explorer of contemporary music, Captain XXI has always been drawn to sounds that exist beyond the mainstream. From the rarest grooves to forward-thinking productions, he has built a musical universe where curiosity takes precedence over genre boundaries.

As a host and programmer on Radio Ellebore, he spent more than a decade sharing his passion for musical discovery through the legendary B3 Radio Show (Bongos Beats Bassline). This experience laid the foundation for On The Road Radio, his own radio show conceived as a continuous journey across continents, cultures and eras. Spiritual jazz, hip-hop, Turkish psychedelic rock, Ethio-jazz, soul, funk, bass music, electronica and forgotten gems all come together under one guiding principle: exceptional music without borders.

In the autumn of 2023, Captain XXI joined the airwaves of Radio Nova, where he continues his role as a musical curator, championing adventurous programming that connects emerging artists with timeless classics.

Behind the decks, Captain XXI refuses to be confined by genres. His DJ sets seamlessly weave together rare groove, global sounds, breaks, beats, cosmic disco, electronica, jazz and influences from every corner of the globe. Every performance is crafted as an invitation to discover something unexpected, balancing dancefloor energy with deep musical exploration.

Captain XXI is also the curator behind the compilation releases Hunt Down and Douces Francophonies, extending his passion for uncovering overlooked gems and giving them a new audience.
