C: You are about to go on stage for the premiere of your brand new show, Bakermat’s circus, How do you feel ?<\/p>\n
B : I’m feeling very well, I feel relaxed, very excited for tonight. I have a lot of new tracks and stuff that I want to play and show so yeah good.<\/p>\n
C : You’ve been playing in Paris a lot of times. You were at the Border Fetival in Villepinte you’ve already played here in Zig Zag, so I guess you can now hang around on yourself now in Paris?<\/p>\n
B : Yeah,I played in a lot of clubs but Zig Zag is the \u00a0one I love the most and you know it’s like a second home, I feel at home here.<\/p>\n
C : You’re a part of the DNA of this club, you were playing for the opening and I heard that\u00a0one day you came here under-covered to see one of your friend playing ?<\/p>\n
B : I was in town and Robin Schulz was playing that night and I know him, he’s a friend of me. So I called him “Hey Robin, I heard you playing in Paris tonight, I’m in Paris too so I’ll drop by just to see your set<\/em>” and he said \u201cyeah awesome !<\/em>” We hang out here and had a few drinks while he played and it was awesome! I just supported him. It was nothing for me, no work, it was just fun!<\/p>\n C : Have you been recognized ?<\/p>\n B : yeah ! (Laugh)<\/p>\n C : Any selfies ?<\/p>\n B : yeah ! a couple. So it was work after all I guess (Laugh)<\/p>\n C : A lot of people know you for your hit “One Day<\/em><\/strong>“, and now you make it twice with your new \u00a0track “Teach Me<\/em>“. I guess this is not something too simple to do to have 2 hits, 2 charted track in\u00a0less than a year. You must be happy, you must be proud ?<\/p>\n B : I’m particularly happy because a lot of people thought that after “One Day<\/em>” I was gonna go \u00a0with the same track, you know the same style but I wanted to show that I can do a lot of different stuff. So I went full of Gospel on the next single with strings, no saxophone,\u00a0something fresh you know! C : About your next single, when is it released ?<\/p>\n B : June<\/p>\n C : And what’s the name of the single ?<\/p>\n B : errr (Laugh) I’m not sure I can tell you!<\/p>\n C : Tonight, it’s the premiere of the Bakermat’s Circus what can we expect ?<\/p>\n B : Well, I generally don’t really prepare for sets. For me, Djying is about fun you know; it’s not about being interesting. It’s a combination of entertainment, also originality. You have to be fresh, you have to bring records that nobody ever heard. But for me, I have a huge list of music and I just pick on the moment because I want to read the crowd, that’s Djing ! I mean you have to read the crowd and pick the right song for that moment.<\/p>\n C :Ben Rodenburg is your saxophonist, is he going to be play tonight ?<\/p>\n B : No, because that’s just Dj set and I have more freedom to experiment a little bit records. This is different<\/p>\n C : Tonight it’s a dj set but I know live music is important to \u00a0you…<\/p>\n B : Yeah because I feel that most people are sick of just you know a guy standing there with CDJ’s. I mean they want some live elements, some human touch to electronic music.\u00a0So, I’ve been experimenting a lot with live stuff. I’ve done live band shows in Olympia, in London too, Amsterdam to show that electronic music can also be a band with 7 people, 7 different instruments.<\/p>\n C : We have now more and more festivals here in Paris, (Marvellous Island , Wihmini, Weather, Peacock)\u00a0a few years ago we could only party in Clubs and bars, How do you feel about that ?<\/p>\n B : It’s not only in Paris I mean it’s worldwide. Electronic music is hot right now. Worldwide festivals are big, in Amsterdam you have countless electronic music festival.<\/p>\n C : You played in Amsterdam a few weeks ago at the King’s Day Festival, How was it ?<\/p>\n B : Awesome ! I had my own stage, I called it the Bakermat’s Gospel Church and the stage was designed as a church so that was pretty cool. The music was also very uplifting and soulful like gospel, you know I miss that<\/p>\n C : You will also be playing at Balaton sound Festival in Hungary this summer\u2026<\/p>\n B : Yes, I am !<\/p>\n C : Today, you’re producer, a DJ, you’re listening to a lot of music, what is your favorite track at the moment ?<\/p>\n B : I really like The magician and the remix he did for Blonde on their last EP “All Cried Out”.\u00a0I think it’s really nice, old school house and I like the piano riff<\/p>\n C : Thanks, best of luck for tonight\u2019s show and we\u2019ll see you at Balaton Sound Festival in July !e<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" C: You are about to go on stage for the premiere of your brand new show, Bakermat’s circus, How do you feel ?

\nI’m working on a new single right now and I’m trying to do something different again. I mean, I just want to not have one thing that I can do but be\u00a0very diverse, I think that’s the best<\/p>\n
