Career
Inspired by Ibiza and The Haçienda in Manchester, Jerry and his younger brother Tom Bouthier [fr] pioneer house music and rave culture in Paris alongside de Laurent Garnier, Dimitri from Paris, Patrick Vidal (Marie et les Garçons)... The pair are A&R and artists on P.U.R. — Paris Union Recording, the first compilation of French electronic artists in the 1990s (which presents the beginnings of Philippe Cohen Solal [fr] from Gotan Project and Marc Collin from Nouvelle Vague) and release two singles on Stress (DMC UK's record label), Breakline (1994) et I Love Paris (1995). The brothers move to London, and join the ranks of the Unlimited DJs agency, which introduce them to the UK club scene (Ministry of Sound, Cream, Manumission, Miss Moneypenny's, Gatecrasher...).
With the new century, Bouthier switches to electro, and he ends up resident DJ at BoomBox,[3] the infamous London night that brought back individual attitude and imaginative fashion to the dancefloor. After selecting and mixing the Kitsuné-BoomBox cd, he becomes part of the Kitsuné family, deejays all over the world as ambassador of the label and releases six mixed cds for the Parisian record/clothing label.
He is Vivienne Westwood's music director from 2008 to 2013 and sound-designs the fashion shows of Matthew Williamson,[4] Roksanda Ilincic, Julien Macdonald, Peter Jensen, Kokon to Zai, Sibling and many others.
