Interview with Von D

1.

You've has some of the most hotly tipped releases of 2009, what influences do you draw on when producing your 'sexy' sound?

For me, it’s really a pleasure to release music, people can hear the music at home or in clubs or while taking the train it’s amazing.

I don’t think too much about what I’m doing while making tracks. I only want to have a good feeling while making it. It’s all about having a strong emotional feeling when writing a tune and if I have this feeling I can make music and if not I can’t.

2.

You're from France, how is the local scene over there?

The local scene in France has began to grow nicely. Everybody knows everybody here that’s cool. It can be bigger and will be bigger than now in the future ... I play more outside France than in France which is not bad for me . :-)

3.

You're Touring America then off to New Zealand and Australia this year, but what has been your favourite city you've visited while DJing?

Shanghai and Beijing was dope but I really had a good time in Tel Aviv... Bristol is also always good . I love this city...

4.

How do you work on your mix downs; as you work through your track or at the end once the whole track has been complete? Do you have any tips for getting the perfect mixdown?

When I’m producing I’m working on the music and on the mixdown at the same time... its really important to get the right sound directly,

because sounds can change the music a lot I’m really paying attention to all the sound I choose and I process... giving tips is really hard because everyone have different techniques to make music but something really important at the end is to be able to be comfortable with a lot of techniques because you will spend more time on music than on the technical side of things.

5.

Which artist are you feeling at the moment that we should look out for?

Im realy Feeling Heny G , Quest , Joker , Silkie , Vivek , Kromestar, Dj Madd , Riskotheque , Phaeleh ,Malilone, Jay Kenzo , Matt U ,Nibé, 12Th Planet, Mr Lager ,Kito, Blasta , 501, F , ..... so manys good producer out there ...can tell everybody.
