Biography

There is more than one artist with this name:

1) French electronic music act

2) Brazilian psychedelic rock act from the late 60ies


1) The Youngsters Intro: Gilles Escoffier, also known as Gil le Gamin, is a DJ since 1988. In 1993 he became involved in national events ( MCM Night, Dragon Ball, D.Mention…). In 1995 he opened his own record shop, Z’Appies Records in Montpellier, and started to produce his own music alongside Ultracolor, another rising artist who later established Scandium Records. Whilst performing abroad for the first time ( Spain, Switzerland, Canada…), Gil formed an event-organizing enterprise in 1997 - Happy People at Work - and coordinated about twenty major events in the south of France in the timespan of two years… In 1998 he established his own label G-Funk, and after his encounter with Olivier M the adventure of The Youngsters began under that same label.

Olivier Mateu, also known as Olivier M was introduced to music at the age of 6, when he started classical piano lessons. By the end of the 80’s he became familiar with the electronic sounds of Kraftwerk, Depeche Mode, Cure, Tangerine Dream and Jean Michel Jarre…and it’s revelation : these sounds and the way they are created mix music and science - his two equally deep passions - perfectly. Olivier started trying out his first synthesizer on his own in the beginning of 1990 and, at the same time, discovered LFO, Inner City, Laurent Garnier and other pioneers of ‘electronic groove’.
