Music fan for ages via Best & les Inrocks mags a.o. plus les Nocturnes (with George Lang), Rock à Gogo & "100 Minutes par delà" (Radio 21 back then - respectively with Jacques Depierpont and Tyanne), then Mixmag followed by The Wire Magazine (from which I remain a fan these days, although I still hardly know 10% of what I read in each issue but maybe that's the point), after a stay in London which broadened my musical tastes towards electronic music.
Jazz came next via some wide advice of a work collegue who introduced me to Jazz & Jazzman mag.
The missing link was Radio Nova, which is to radio what I try to apply to my mixes: remain as open as possible in terms of genres, as opposed to specialized programs and/or radios. Online music (soundcloud, mixcloud, NPR, various blogs) help me as well to try to keep up to what's new & exciting in music these days.
