Lionel Corsini, known professionally as DJ Oil, is a Marseille-based composer, musician, and producer whose career spans over two decades. A founding member of the group Troublemakers, he contributed to shaping a French trip-hop aesthetic that blends jazz, instrumental hip-hop, and organic sounds.

His albums, including "Black Notes," "Phantom," and "Raise of a Cosmic Dancer," showcase his focus on sound design, groove dynamics, and instrumental storytelling.
