Do you ever get irritating requests from the dancefloor?
Every girl that starts by saying “Hello there, tonight is my friend´s birthday…” means trouble. I´ve had a couple of nice requests a few times though involving the likes of Dennis Parker, Shari Vari, Paul Simon and Andreas Vollenweider.
How long have you spent cultivating your moustache?
These days it tends to get lost in it’s neighbour, namely the beard. It’s not that I´m purposely going for this whole unshaven “just got out of bed” look, the fact is that very often I have actually just gotten out of bed. I sleep a lot!
Your music has been defined as “space disco.” Is it an appropriate soundtrack for astronauts?
I very much doubt it. If I was an astronaut, I´d probably leave all my cosmic J.P. Massiera records at home and bring some Neil Young and perhaps a few Beethoven recordings.
Did studying astrophysics influence your DJing technique?
I think more the other way around; my escalating DJ schedule influenced my studies in a bad way! Every Monday I cut classes, which is the main day for the astrophysics part of my studies. Fortunately, I was majoring in general physics and had only a couple of astrophysics modules in the mix.
Will disco ever die?
Yes, it should.
