His first album "The Man In The Shadow" - a groovy, electronic aural film noir released in 1997 - had immediately established SNOOZE as one of the most original talents emerging from the buoyant French scene. It also quickly went on to become SSR's most successful debut album.

After having taken some time off to record a Brazilian-infused pop album for Island under his Dalcan moniker, Snooze came back in 2001 with "GOINGMOBILE", a sumptuous affair full of grooves, orchestrations, surprises, melodies, emotions, noises, shades, nuances, giggles, haunting percussions, dreams etc.

Snooze  enlisted the talents of several guests, including three distinguished vocalists: NANCY DANINO (a Parisian whose sweet voice graced a couple of tracks on "The Man In The Shadow"), NICOLE GRAHAM (an American then based in Paris) and DEBORAH BROWN (an Atlanta-based classic jazz singer whose outstanding performance contributes to making the song "Quiet Alone" one of the highlights of this album).
