Some people started to call me "the King of No" because with Daft Punk we were saying "no" to everything.

The great thing about the electronic music scene is that everybody can be part of it either by dancing, DJing, or organizing a party.

For me marketing is about how to present a project.

Daft Punk and I belong to the Generation 75. We were born in 1975, so we are somewhat in the middle of the rebellion and freedom of the 70s and the consumer culture of the 80s.

At the time, in 1996, an electronic band signing with a major label was something new, at least in France. Daft Punk knew that this meant a marathon of promotion, TV appearances, etc. To protect themselves and to be discrete, they came up with the masks and, three years later, the robot helmets.

To me a lot of electronic music out there is too serious. I'm a bit fed up with DJs who take themselves too seriously and don't smile.
