Everything I make as a producer, I visualize it as a DJ first. And all those beats, I test them as a DJ.

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!'

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.

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.

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

Every time I come with an album I try to do something different and obviously my life has an influence on how I feel and the type of message I want to give with the music.
