1. DOES THIS GLOBAL LOCK-DOWN INSPIRE YOU IN ANY WAY? AND HOW ARE YOU MOLDING WITH THE NEW REALITY?

Hey guys, first thanks for having me.

The global lockdown was a bit hard at the beginning to be honest but at the end, it was something prolific in a good way to focus on others projects and loads of new productions are done and I really appreciated to have some free time to work on a different side of the musical industry.

About the new reality I think things needs to be back now, I missed travel, play and meet people around the world. Fingers crossed…

2. WHAT WERE THE FIRST STEPS YOU TOOK THAT HAVE LED YOU TO WHERE YOU ARE NOW?

Im a DJ since 15 years now, so the first step was to buy my first turntables and start to play music in small clubs in my hometown like everyone I think..

I started to produce my first tracks 10 years ago and Solomun & Marc Romboy gave me the chance to release my first productions on their own labels. It was a good start!

3. HOW DID YOU APPROACH THE MUSIC INDUSTRY, AND HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOUR FIRST PERFORMANCE?

I was a guitar player so the music was in my veins from the beginning, when I was a student I already knew the way of my life and the music was the main point.

My first performance was in a club in the center of my city « Le Mistral » and it was a good experience but not the best haha!

4. WHAT DAW DO YOU USE AND WHAT ARE YOUR TOP 5 PLUGINS AND TOP 5 HARDWARE INSTRUMENTS?

I’m using simple things.

5. HOW DO YOU GO WITH THE OVERALL TRACK COMPOSITION? AND HOW DO YOU PLAN FOR AN ARRANGEMENT?

Starting with kick/bass is the most important thing for me to start a track. Then I can turn around the track and experimenting some synths, melodies and recording a good vocal if needed.

Arrangement is coming when I got all elements.

6. WHAT ADVISES WOULD YOU GIVE UPCOMING TALENTS TO GROW AND MAKE IT OUT THERE?

9. DO YOU PREFER TO PLAY IN A CLUB OR IN A FESTIVAL AND WHY? HOW DO YOU CONTROL THE ENERGY ON THE DANCEFLOOR?

I prefer clubs because I love to be close to the crowd to share the energy.

But some festivals are really great, depends.

10. IF YOU COULD CHANGE ANYTHING ABOUT THE GLOBAL ELECTRONIC MUSIC INDUSTRY, WHAT WOULD IT BE?

I don’t want to change anything, at the moment I just want to play again and back to the reality and normal life..

it’s a never ending story and we all need to be back to share our passion with all of you around the world.

PER-VURT ?

” It’s a great way and a super experience to share the love of the music with the new generation. Even more during this period. I wish you to continue in this way and to spread the love all around you and to continue to educate new talents about our culture.
