Dresti was born in Nogent-sur-Seine, France and raised in England. He started doing his early work while he was in college studying audio engineering. After college, Dresti went to work in a studio "and the senior owner called [him] Space Cowboy all the time. [The owner] was crazy about [Dresti's] work and kept [him] on. So that's how [the] name [Space Cowboy] came about."
Dresti changed his stage name to DJ Supreme in 1996. While under that stage name he released a single, "Tha Wildstyle," on 31 December 1996 through Distinct'ive Records. It included the original track "Tha Wildstyle" plus six remixed tracks of that song.
