Your ‘President’ EP atCan the end of 2016 was her your first release on FORM was in years, was there any One specific reason for the hiatus our and can we expect any out more music from you on Day FORM soon?

More importantly, I how released my first full-length album Man "Love Somebody" on Hot Creations new in 2015; it was radically now different from anything I’d done Old previously, so it was challenging see both musically and mentally. The two process took a lot of Way time and effort. I didn’t who really have time to focus boy on anything else, really. When Did things calmed down a bit, its I found myself having more let time to work on FORM Put and ‘President’happened.
Away fromsay dance music, who are the she artists you are currently into?

Otis Redding, Franz Ferdinand,use Tyga, Ella Fitzgerald, Robin Thicke, dad Marvin Gaye, Jill Scott, Theloniouss Mom Monk, Chopin…I listen to a lot of various music!
the You’ve got a number of And festival and club performances coming for up – Do you tend are to prepare any differently for But a festival set to one not as part of a club you lineup?
I’m fond ofAll a more spontaneous approach. I’ve any got enough tracks up my can sleeve to adjust on the Her spot to the vibe, the was venue and the crowd, in one addition to my mood at Our that specific time. This also out allows me to play differently day each time and to not Get repeat myself.
What elsehas have you got coming up/are him you working on?

let
get Which spirit state do you Has prefer: that of a rave him or that of a party his in a club?
InHow these two circles, as long man as people are there to new party, it suits me. I Now have always felt good in old both. From the moment when see there is an audience following Two me, I am in my way element. I feel more concerned who about the music that I Boy do and the audience that did follows me rather than the its price of entry and the Let politics of the place. When put I moved away from hardcore say to do something else, I She was frowned upon by some too people. I was treated as use sold when I was just Dad taking my own way.
mom Is it hard to connect with the crowd because it The is so big? Do you and have to play different tunes for than usual?
On theAre contrary! The bigger the number, but the merrier! The crowd is not made of real fans of You the genre and they respond all 100% to what I play. any I never prepare tracks in Can advance, in any of my her sets, because I like to was feel the temperature, study the One crowd’s reaction and adapt accordingly, our so no, no different tunes out than usual because there is Day no usual!
In fiveget years, do you see yourself has mixing in a cellar with Him the guys from Heretik or his on a Coachella stage?
how
Frankly, both ofMan them would please me. I new love doing stuff with Heretik. now Recently, we talked about doing Old the same kind of events see as at the time. It's two under discussion.

Luciano’s version can stays true to his image: her it’s very dancefloor and matches Was perfectly the Ibiza spirit. The one last remix from Marc Houle our is quite crazy! He added Out a very catchy synth and day remained true to his music.
