What inspires you to get busy in the studio? Is it difficult to constantly come up with new ideas?

YES! It is difficult for me, because when we make a track we are not ?free?! We have to keep in mind, in my point of view, that we are making music for parties, and to make the people dance! Most of the people for who I play are younger than me, and I also keep in mind that most of them are going to parties just to enjoy with their friends. So I make ?happy music?, which is not always my mood. And as I said earlier, I am tired of making the eight minute standard format tracks, with an intro, then it starts, going up until a first break, starting energetically, going down a bit before the ?final break? and then start ?full on? for the end? Come on, I?ve done more than 150 tracks like this, so I need some time to find new ideas. That is why I did the ?Zodiac? album ? to find a concept and change the length of tracks ? and that?s why now I am doing the ?4 seasons?.

You released an album called ?Zodiac? in 2003, which consisted of 12 tracks each names after a sign of the zodiac. How did you go about putting this together? What star sign are you?

I am Leo ? but honestly, I don?t believe in astrology. As a ?mind controller?, I tend to believe that because you know you are from a specific sign, and because from the beginning of your life people tell you things like ?Wow, you?re Scorpio? Hard sign!? Or because you read books about your star sign, which tell you how people of your sign behave, and you, as a human being, need to be part of a ?group?, subconsciously, you follow the directions of the book: this is what I believe.

So why I did do this album? Again, because I loved the idea of having a concept that everybody knows, and ?translate? it to music. To have the idea and the direction of the track before beginning it and to stick to the idea. That?s why. It was a very artistic exercise,

Your label is called Mind Control Records. Why did you start your own label and what productions does it have in the pipelines at the moment?

I started my own label before Mind Control Records when I made 3D Vision with Absolum and Mael, but in 2003, Christof (aka absolum) went to live in Ibiza. I stayed in Paris, so it was hard to work together as before. I decided to create Mind Control Records because I didn?t want to fit a style for my music, I wanted to be ?free?. Also, I found this XSI band, and I wanted to produce them, because I really have trust in their music. Besides the two albums I am preparing now, I don?t have that many plans for the label. Compilations are hard to release now because the CD market is going very down. I think that from now release I?ll only albums and make compilations on mp3 through the http://www.trancepool.net system.
