I think that we&#8217;re producing the best electronic music available today, its the most creative and we really have our own sound. I&#8217;m very proud of being a part of that scene.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Discopolis&#8217; international success was an essential step in your career ?<\/strong><br \/>\nIt was one of the essential steps yes, Vulture (Alan Braxe&#8217;s label) was a great launch platform for this record, one of the the other step was that Thomas Bangalter from Daft Punk and DJ Falcon playlisted one of my first record &#8220;Blackchess&#8221; a lot when touring the &#8220;Together Tour 2002&#8221; and this bought me a lot of attention from the independent record industry.<\/p>\n<p><strong>You have just released &#8220;Don&#8217;t Stop&#8221; EP in featuring with A-Trak. Was this collaboration easy? How did you come to work together ?<\/strong><br \/>\nIt&#8217;s a nice little story. Well Gildas from Kitsun\u00e9 invited me to play in London a few years ago at Hoxton bar, David from Chromeo (who&#8217;s A-Trak big brother) was in the city. We met when I was asked by him to remix &#8220;Needy Girl&#8221;, so I invited him to the gig, he came with Alain (A-Trak) and the next day we were sitting in the hotel lobby discussing about music and other things.<br \/>\nHe was at that time the DJ for Kanye West so we stayed in contact. When I played in NYC I called the two brothers and we went to eat somewhere. They are really nice guys !<br \/>\nLater on, A-Trak asked me to remix Treasure Fingers for his new label Fool&#8217;s Gold that he was just launching. We&#8217;re good friends since years now. You know Alain (A-Trak) was a DMC scratch champion, N\u00b01 when he was only 16 years old, so I thought adding his skills on this EP would really turn the record into something great!<\/p>\n<p>As I was preparing an album, they were the first names I wanted to work with. It&#8217;s so easy to work with them, we don&#8217;t even have to talk business, we just do like and respect each others music.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/w.soundcloud.com\/player\/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F66727868\" frameborder=\"no\" scrolling=\"no\" width=\"100%\" height=\"166\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><strong>What was your first reaction when you listened to Gigamesh, Mauvais Clich\u00e9 and The Bloody Sisters&#8217; remixes ?<\/strong><br \/>\nI really love the remixes, they are all bringing the track into different directions I wouldn&#8217;t have been even able to think about ! Gigamesh took a breakbeat direction suddenly, Mauvais Clich\u00e9 would make you think we&#8217;re at the Hacienda in the early 90&#8217;s and The Bloody Sisters sound like Rick James meet Zapp and Roger.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What do you prefer? To be remixed or to remix?<\/strong><br \/>\nOh remixing is better than being remixed, you earn more money! Just kidding (laugh).<br \/>\nMore seriously, it&#8217;s quite different to remix than being remixed, but both must have to be surprising for the artist remixed and for the artist you are remixing. Otherwise a remix can be quite uninteresting if you can&#8217;t bring the original to another level.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cDon\u2019t Stop\u201d is also a message regarding your musical activity? You&#8217;re not ready to stop for the moment ?<\/strong><br \/>\nThat is funny, I didn&#8217;t think about that. There is no message in the track, it was just a cool rap vocal that suited well the music. Ready to stop ? It depends what, music certainly not (laugh) !<\/p>\n<p><strong>What are your future plans ?<\/strong><br \/>\nA full LP album is on the way, by now about 90% of the work is done. The album features Chromeo, Oliver, A-Trak of course, but also Electric Youth, Afrobot, Alan Braxe and Yota.<br \/>\nMy Album release date should be around April\/May 2013, but before, I will release certainly another EP maybe with Kitsun\u00e9 again early next year.<\/p>\n<p>I do also have a lot of remixes going to be released the next months, like The Presets &#8220;Promises&#8221;, Classixx &#8220;Holdin&#8217; On&#8221;, Vitalic &#8220;La Mort Sur Le Dancefloor, and a brand new EP from Alan Braxe &#8220;One More Chance&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Follow Lifelike on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/LifelikeOfficial\">Facebook<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/lifelike\">Soundcloud<\/a> !<\/p>\n<p>You can purchase Lifelike feat.
