Continuam seria interviurilor cu un artist ce a lansat hit dupa hit si nu a dezamagit cu nicio piesa. A avut o cariera in continua ascensiune insa se pregateste sa incerce ceva nou, mai riscant pentru piata muzicala in care s-a invartit. Asa cum ati vazut in titlu, am stat de vorba cu Yves Larock. Mai jos gasiti interviul cu el, atat in varianta originala, in limba engleza, cat si tradus si adaptat in romana pentru intelesul tuturor.

1. We thought all the world’s DJs were born in Holland and Germany. How did you start your career in Switzerland? You know in Switzerland there are Banks but no music business that’s why I’ve done music since 1988 music just for fun, and one day I’ve decided to try to sign a song of me, it take around 4 year and finally after more than 200 songs, Zookey comes out and my career began.

2. What did Africanism All Stars mean to you? I was happy … the fact that Map Dance signed the track and then Defected, Spinnin and Ministry of Sound came on board was great for me ! Then Africanism also licensed the track for France so all Europe was covered.

3. What was it like to work alongside Bob Sinclar and David Guetta in Africanism All Stars? The Zookey track was finalized and Bob Sinclar liked it as I mentioned before. He asked to do a Remix and licensed the track for France so that he could insert it on his compilation Africanism.

4. What is the most important message that you are trying to get across with your music? Ho, you know we just make dance music, so for a message it’s not the right music. no message just fun.

5. You have thousands of friends on MySpace. What other social networks do you use? I use Facebook and Twitter….. all the social networks. I must admit that I am not a computer geek. I love producing music …. and social networks are great to let all my friends and loyal fans follow my music.

6. What part of the DJ life do you love the most? See people have pleasure on the music that I play. Beeing in a club or festival and seeing people smile or laugh it a fantastic thing !

7. What did Manego mean for you? After a success like Rise Up, your ego can become so big and that’s no good, that’s why I’ve made an album about a Man and his Ego. Listen to Glory, it resume this album.

8. Collaborations always add flavor and you seem to like all kinds of condiments. Who would you like to work with in the future? I’ve worked a lot with male voice these past 4 years, that’s why I’ve just finished a track with Trisha called „Until Tomorrow” and another one with Tara McDonald „Girl” cause I want now female voices, and in the future let’s see what’s happen , maybe with E.T..

9. This year you remixed Akcent’s “That’s my name”. How did that happen? What Romanian artists do you know? My Romanian Label Roton, ask me to do a remix of it, I like the track so I’ve did it. I know Akcent of course but also Inna, Edward Maya. I believe that Romania has a feeling for music and music is an important thing for Romanian people.

10. Are you working on a new album? I’ve just started the composition of my new album but it’s just the beginning and I don’t really know in which direction I want to go, but it will not be under Yves Larock, cause it will be an album more experimental between dance & rock. I am also working a lot with a friend and very talented guy called Tony Sylla.

11. If you have a message for your Romanian fans, now’s the time to confess. 🙂 I just want to thanks my fans in Romania for the support and I hope that they will still continue to follow me. Peace, Yves.

Mai jos aveti varianta in limba romana:

1. Noi credeam ca toti DJi din lume s-au nascut in Olanda si Germania. Cum ti-ai inceput cariera in Elvetia? In Elvetia sunt multe banci insa nu exista industrie muzicala. De aceea am facut muzica din 1988 pana acum doar pentru amuzament. Intr-o zi m-am hotarat sa semnez o piesa pentru mine. A durat aproximativ patru ani insa dupa 200 de piese am lansat Zookey si astfel a inceput cariera mea.

2. Ce a insemnat Africanism All Stars pentru tine? Am fost fericit… faptul ca Map Dance a semnat piesa. Dupa aceea au urmat Defected, Spinnin si Ministry of Sound iar asta a fost grozav pentru mine. Apoi Africanism a licentiat piesa in Franta deci toata Europa a fost acoperita…

3. Cum a fost sa lucrezi impreuna cu Bob Sinclar si David Guetta in Africanism All Stars? Piesa Zookey a fost finalizata iar lui Bob Sinclar i-a placut. A cerut sa faca un remix si a licentiat-o in Franta ca sa o poate include pe compilatia lui Africanism.

4. Care e cel mai important mesaj pe care incerci sa il transmiti prin muzica ta? Noi vrem doar sa facem muzica dance deci nu e muzica potrivita pentru a trimite un mesaj. Nu e niciun mesaj, e doar distractie.

5. Ai o multime de prieteni pe MySpace. Ce alte retele sociale mai folosesti? Folosesc Facebook si Twitter… toate retelele sociale. Recunosc ca nu sunt un computer geek. Imi place sa produc muzica si retelele sociale sunt grozave pentru a le arata prietenilor si fanilor mei muzica pe care o fac.

6. Ce parte din viata de DJ iti place cel mai mult? Sa vad oamenii ca se simt bine pe muzica pe care o pun. E fantastic sa fiu la un festival sau intr-un club si sa vad oamenii razand si zambind.

7. Ce a insemnat Manego pentru tine? Dupa un succes precum Rise Up, egoul tau poate deveni foarte mare iar asta nu e bine. De aceea am facut un album despre un barbat si despre egoul sau. Asculta Glory, insumeaza albumul asta.

8. Colaborarile adauga intotdeauna aroma iar tie parca iti plac toate felurile de condimente. Cu cine ti-ar placea sa lucrezi in viitor? Am lucrat cu o multime de voci masculine in ultimii 4 ani si de aceea am terminat o piesa cu Trisha care se numeste Until Tomorrow. Si mai am una cu Tara McDonald – „Girl”. Acum vreau voci feminine iar in viitor vom vedea ce se intampla, poate cu E.T..

9. Anul acesta ai remixat piesa That’s my name de la Akcent. Cum s-a intamplat asta? Ce alti artisti romani cunosti? Casa de discuri din Romania, Roton, mi-a cerut sa fac un remix. Mi-a placut piesa asa ca l-am facut. Ii stiu pe Akcent, bineinteles, insa ii stiu si pe Inna si Edward Maya. Cred ca Romania are un feeling pentru muzica iar muzica este importanta pentru romani.

10. Lucrezi la un album nou? Tocmai am inceput compozitia la noul meu album insa e abia inceputul. Nu stiu care va fi directia in care voi merge insa nu va iesi sub numele Yves Larock pentru ca va fi ceva mai experimental, intre dance si rock. Lucrez cu un prieten foarte talentat – Tony Sylla.

11. Daca ai un mesaj pentru fanii tai romani, acum e momentul sa il transmiti. 🙂 Vreau sa le multumesc fanilor din Romania pentru sprijin si sper ca vor continua sa ma urmareasca. Peace, Yves.
