Bio

As PEEV, Pierre Serafini has been a name with many faces over the past 20 years. He’s a musician, a curator, a DJ and above all, a consummate music lover.
Over the past few years, Pierre stepped away from the limelight, to replenish himself. This aloowed him to freed time he would invest in his studio and instruments, improving not only his production skills and live performance, but his mindset as an artist too.

Pierre has always been about more than the Bass and Clubbing scenes that framed his debuts. Over 5 years of his monthly Rinse show, he’s sought out guests from the known (Jay Glass Dubs, Subtext’s James Ginzburg) to the then-unknown (KMRU, Neinzer), quickly becoming the voice of Ambient on Rinse FR.

Two recent releases, the emotive “Ad Astra (Per Ardua)”, a plaintive, piano-led ambient ballad on NoSuit Records, or the sonically extreme and emotional "Snakes & Ladders" on Music for Commercials, are just facets of PEEV’s identity, as an impressive slate of releases for 2021 shows.

‘Ccendrs', Pierre's first Ambient LP was released in March 2021. It was built as a collection of six pieces that emerged from a Live AV Set I was invited to perform at the cutting-edge, community-driven COMMON Multiverse event by Currents.fm. 'Ccendrs' allowed Pierre to find his very own sweet spot after years of work. Somewhere between the over-thinking brainy context of studio and the visceral rush that comes with playing live music.

After the unexpected release of emotional power-ambient EP "A Farewell to Dust" in May, Pierre keeps on delivering at a tremendous pace, with a collaborative EP composed with French rising producer Realitycheck on Lyon-based label Music for Commercials in July of 2021: a genuine throwback to the distinctive intricate percussion work and shattered, rolling basslines of PEEV's previous works, gaining exposure on outlets such as The Ransom Note, Tsugi, Bandcamp and more.

On top of this, with his Bordeaux-based friend Nuit, he’s started exploring the sludgier side of low end noise for a project that will probably take listeners way beyond the frontiers of electronic music.

Whatever Pierre is on, there will be energy and a feel of spaciousness and depth: a reflection of decades of experience, coupled to an always more precise and process-driven approach to both live setup and studio are definitely paving the way for his most exciting works to date.
