DJ OilFR
DJ Oil, also known as Lionel Corsini, is a Marseille-based producer and DJ with a career spanning over two decades. A founding member of the group Troublemakers, signed to Blue Note in the early 2000s, he helped shape a distinctly French take on trip-hop, blending jazz, instrumental hip-hop and field-recorded textures.
His solo work builds on this foundation with layered productions that draw from rare samples, analog sounds and rhythmic influences rooted in African-American and global traditions. Albums like Black Notes, Phantom and Raise of a Cosmic Dancer reveal a strong focus on sound design, groove dynamics and instrumental storytelling. Both in the studio and on stage, he works through collage and improvisation, guided by a careful listening approach. His music bridges past and present without relying on fixed genres or formats.
