Where are you based?
Hello there! I’m based in Paris, France. I was born and raised there so it’s my hometown.
Please give an example of your music creative process?
It’s a very instinctive process, I never plan much ahead. I create music depending on my mood, on the weather or the way I’m feeling at the time. I start with the rhythms, then I research the bass lines, then I add the synthesizers and the vocals, and once I have everything I change it again until I’m satisfied with the result.
What are you working on right now?
I am currently working on so many various projects. I’ve just finished a new remix for Artslaves’ new EP, out on July 14th on OXIA and Nicolas Masseyeff’s label, Diversions. In parallel, I’m working on an exclusive mix CD for cult Ibiza club Amnesia, and I’m collaborating with my good friend Julian Jeweil on a new EP, due to be out in a few months.
What do you like to do outside of music and does it affect your music?
I’m a huge movie fan. I love watching all sorts of movies and I think it’s a great source of inspiration. Being French, I’m obviously into eating J I like gourmet cuisine and I enjoy cooking when I have the time. There are lots of different things I like to do and I believe they all have an influence on my music.
How would you describe your music genre?
I don’t really like restricting my music to genres but if I had to define what I do, I’d say it broadly goes from hard techno to micro-house.
Do you know any music theory?
The only theory I know is that music should be made with the heart and with no limitations!
What are your plans for the future?
I’m planning to work on my new album, while preparing for my next tour in the USA and South America next fall.
