11 time Grammy winning front singer for Santana, Tony Lindsay, just said this about DjayPee’s song “I Feel Love”:

"I picked ‘I Feel Love’ because the second the track started playing, it caught my attention because it was so upbeat and positive. The groove, the instrumentation and the way DjayPee used the vocal samples gave the song a very uplifting appeal.

This song sounds and feels like the kind of tracks that you hear in the dance clubs today.

Congratulations DjayPee.

Yours truly, Tony Lindsay"

French artist Jean-Pierre Lantieri, also known as Djaypee, left his native country in order to follow his calling to other parts of the world. In what he himself called a "spiritual calling" to Asia, it was there where he was able to take in the culture and ultimately make the music he produces today. With this new knowledge gained, he created a full length album, Lounge, in which he shares the interesting sound of world music meets electronica.

The Asian influence of Lounge is pretty evident throughout the album. Songs like the dramatically pulsating "Geisha" takes you through a traditional Japanese life, "Lost" shows deep emotion through the ErHu (a Chinese violin with only two strings), which also shows up on the lively "Tango Maria." The music has a way of putting you at ease with its relaxing compositions, all the while taking you through a different world of music that you may have never known (but still with elements that you do know).

Djaypee's Lounge is successful in the orchestration of the interesting combination of world music and electronica, which invites the listener to relax as well as be engulfed with the beauty of music from another land.

A mix of cultural music to excite your senses

Jean-Pierre Lantieri aka DjayPee (yes the name may cause a few sniggers) is a unique French artiste with a multi-cultural musical heart steeped in the mysteries, traditions and exotic sounds of Asia. We caught up with this Moby look-alike at the launch of his two new albums, Lounge and Tempo, and had a chance to embrace his musical philosophy and style.

"I want to bring music into a new level by incorporating a strong South-East Asian feel in this genre, by integrating traditional instruments like the erhu, the shamisen, or some local flutes, in my pieces. I am also keen to explore more Malaysian instruments and beats on my next music project" he quips. His Lounge album is a cultural clash of Javanese, Japanese, Thai and Chinese orchestration, set over sensuous trance and lounge grooves featuring crowd favorites Geisha and The King Of Angkor.

Tempo on the other hand, hits closer to the club scene at home, merging more up-beat electronica, house and chillout beats.

The highlights include his award winning tracks The Roses Of Ispahan and I Feel Love and can be heard blasting on the dance floors across asia. Endorsed by local stars like Ning Baizura and JD of Pop Shuvit, and behind his remixes of songs by Beyonce and Gwen Stefani, DjayPee invites you to let it all go, through his exceptional aural landscape.
