For new listeners, what does your music sound like or relate too?
Depends of the moment.. Now, I’d say electro folk.. Yes. But if you see me djing, you’d say electro.
You play a very wide musical variety when you perform, whats your favorite kind of playlist?
A surprising one. I’d get bored to play only known bangers.. That’s why I hate most of the dj sets I hear…

LP LP LP LP. I’ll really start working on it super early ’10… And its gonna be surprising!

Tell us about your new EP, Toxic is Dead? How much fun did you have shooting the music video?
Well for sure shooting this video was a lot of fun! I mean… Blood, cars, guns, money…! Even if it was kinda disturbing to fake my suicide..!
The toxic is dead ep, well there’s some remixes by drop the lime, south central and Franki chan.
It’s darker than my first EP, and I’m sure that if you loved the other EPs, you’re gonna love this one, if you haven’t found it yet on mediafire bastards!
You have been all over the world this past year. What was one of your most memorable gigs and why is it your most memorable?
Without a doubt, Mexico city, two months ago.
There were twice the people the promoter expected, all super excited, they had to call diy security guy to help block the DJ booth, so i can play… I played like 4 hours non stop.. Even super underground French stuff, and they were totally into it..
You just played at the Asian Music Awards. How was it?
Pretty funny, I mean, you don’t play a thing like that every day… But I gotta say I got difficulties to remind that because I stayed in Asia only 8hours.. So my brain is a bit Fucked up right now

Money, drugs and vodka. What else?
What method do you use when you create music?
Drugs and vodka, what else?
