Very early on, Stéphane was fascinated by different kinds of music, listening to pop, rock and new wave. The real trigger happened in the late 80s, when he discovered house. One day in 1997 in Paris, when he was already a fairly famous DJ, he met up with Jean-Louis Costes, who asked him to mix music at his hotel restaurant. Very soon they had the idea of a compilation which could spread worldwide the spirit of the Hôtel Costes, this mythic glamorous place. The first compilation quickly became an undeniable reference. Over a dozen more successful and intense compilations followed.
Then he was asked to deejay everywhere in the world by haute couture designers such as Gucci, actresses like Cameron Diaz, and eventually remixed "What It Feels Like for a Girl" for Madonna… Yet Stéphane Pompougnac is not only a DJ - he is also an accomplished musician, composing and producing his own songs, which he proved in 2003 with the release of his first album Living On The Edge that featured several talented artists, notably Michael Stipe from REM. Today, Stéphane Pompougnac remains one of the most recognized DJs in the world.
Pompougnac released his second album Hello Mademoiselle in early 2006 after his eighth Hôtel Costes compilation.

Con Mi Sombra
Stéphane Pompougnac Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Que quiere hablar y quiere gritar
Son gritos de agua dulce que nutre
Tierra en el profundo que escucha
Y dice que yo quería quería encontrarte
Yo quería quería gozarte
Sigilosamente con mi sombra
Robaremos la luz de las estrellas
Hasta cuando el miedo no se valla si quédate
Yo quería quería encontrarte
Yo quería quería gozarte
Yo quería quería encontrarte
Yo quería quería gozarte
Gente de la tierra quieren encontrarse
Gente de la tierra quieren gozarse
The song Con Mi Sombra by Stéphane Pompougnac is a beautiful and poetic tune that captures the essence of longing and desire. The lyrics are in Spanish, and the singer talks about walking on the beach with his shadow, which wants to speak and scream out loud. The singer says that his shadow's cries are like sweet water that nourishes the earth, which listens to them deeply. He then admits that he wanted to find someone, to enjoy them quietly with his shadow. Together, they will break through the wall of silence, steal the light of the stars, and even if the fear lingers, they will stay together.
The song talks about the yearning of two people to connect and enjoy each other discreetly, without the restrictions of society or the fear of judgment. The metaphor of the shadow is used to describe the singer's hidden desires, feelings, and thoughts, which he can only share with someone he trusts. The reference to the wall of silence represents the communication barriers that people put up, even with those they love, when they are afraid or unsure. However, the singer believes that if two people truly want to find each other, they can break down these barriers and be together.
