heart sleep people
My routine is fly, play, sleep, record. My center is the music I am making; when I see people together wherever it is on the planet, that we connect, that's what keeps my heart beating.
jobs sound producers
Our job as producers is to make the music sound as good as possible.
kids rocks parent
You know, kids come to see me in the same way that their parents would go to see a rock concert.
hate people demos
If you put a demo on the net and people say it was the finished version then they're going to say it sucks. I really hate that.
relaxed
When you're too relaxed it's not good to create.
independent needs aliens
So dance music is now pop music. So now, as a dance producer, what do I have to do? So I'm starting to do alien music, because pop is not pop anymore; we need to go alien to be independent.
music crazy play
I started in '88 to play House music, it was a huge revolution for me. I went to London and I saw a DJ on stage and that was crazy at the time. I was one of the really respected and famous DJs in Paris, but they would never show me. I was hidden. A DJ on stage and people dancing and facing the DJ, looking at him? I was like 'wow!
artist tomorrow bigs
All the big artists I talk to say that they are trapped in a formula and they are looking for the music of tomorrow.
wish world back-again
Wish I could spin my world into reverse just to have you back again
giving support get-better
I want to support the United Nations who can share our voice and make us heard. What they do makes the world a better place; if each of us can just give a word to their cause, it will only get better.
technology littles laptops
Actually, because of new technologies, my full studio is on my laptop. And I have a little keyboard in my bag. I can make everything I do come from my laptop. Even when I go to a big studio, all I do is to plug in my laptops. That's they way I do it.
son artist opposites
I had the most reversed education possible. Every parent wants their son to be a businessman, respectable - me, it was the opposite. When I had an artist career my mum was like, 'Oh finally, I'm proud of you!
eight streets-of-paris parent
My parents were extreme left so everything was against the system. I was walking barefoot in the streets of Paris when I was eight. When I started to DJ they hated it, because for them, nightclubs, and all of this life, was terrible and fake.
people individual powerless
What most people want, I guess? I want the individual to know that if we unite, we are not powerless.
