The more melodies and chord changes, the less good it is for the clubs, but the better it is for radio, because it makes it really emotional. Show less «

I want to party in space because I make alien music.

I wanna be a nice guy.

I am trying to walk a tightrope; trying to keep the DJ community happy while trying to spread the message about dance music to more people. That is the mission that I am on. Show less «

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!' Show less «

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. Show less «

I have studios in the different places where I live - in Ibiza, Paris and London - but they're not crazy studios, they're just rooms with good monitors, and all I do is plug my laptop in. It's a different way to make music, but for me, I love it, because it's more connected to the world. Show less «

I don't do this for the money, I don't do it for record sales, I don't really care about that, I just want to make beats. Show less «

You know, kids come to see me in the same way that their parents would go to see a rock concert.

Everything I do comes from the clubs. If I lose that, I'm done.

I'm not limited.

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. Show less «

Our job as producers is to make the music sound as good as possible.

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. Show less «

I mix up all styles on my albums because that is what music is about now.

If I had to play only for people who liked the music because they heard it on the radio, it wouldn't make me happy. That's why I'm working so hard to have, yes, a profile as an artist, but also a profile as a DJ. Show less «

It's nice because success has allowed me to have a blast on stage, to be in the studio with amazing people, but I find it all a bit bizarre. Show less «

Sometimes two artists wanna work together, but it doesn't mean it's gonna happen, because you have to find the right idea. Show less «

There's many different genres, and when you see R&B and pop and house, as well as electronic, come together, that's the reality of what music is. Show less «

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. Show less «

I'm not the type of person to live in fear. I think positively.

I headline concert halls for 20,000 people, but I still play smaller venues.

I'm totally not a nostalgic person. I always look to the future and as much as I've enjoyed the ride until now and the different phases, I'm more excited about the next music. Show less «

When you're too relaxed it's not good to create.
