Touring India as a part of ‘Bru Ice Capuccino VH1 Handpicked’ property, Yves grooved Delhiities as a part of his three-city tour schedule. Talking to Spicezee in an exclusive interview with Aman Kanth, Swiss sensation Yves ‘Larock’ Cheminade spoke at length about DJ-ing, upcoming singles and Bollywood plans.Aman: DJ-ing is quite an unusual profession? What exactly got you into it? Yves: (Smiles) Honestly speaking, ten years ago, a DJ was only for clubs. Currently, DJs are also producers and music makers. We work to make people happy. We also work on weekends to make people dance. Aman: Tell us something about your favourite party place? Yves: I loved all the places where I have performed. Well, my favourite party places have to be Brazil and Portugal. Even Mumbai, where I performed a day back was just amazing… it was crazy! Aman: One experience that left you really amazed… Yves: It was in Portugal. Just imagine fourteen thousand people singing ‘Rise Up’ as I go and play the song on the beach. Aman: If not a DJ, what would you have been? Yves: Before taking up music, I worked as a biologist in a laboratory. My mother used to say that music is good as a hobby, but you should also take up a profession. Ultimately, my hobby became my profession. Aman: Tell us about your musical preferences? Yves: In the past, I loved Hip-Hop. I also listened to Rock n Roll and Soul. Some of the bands, which I like, are AC/DC, Metallica, Placibo and Muse. Aman: It’s your first trip to India, any plans to travel deep into the country? Yves: Yes, it’s my first trip to India. I am afraid I have not got much time. I have a busy schedule with back-to-back shows. Apart from being a DJ, I am also a producer, something that keeps me quite occupied. In fact, I would definitely love to see more of India. Aman: Would you like to work in Bollywood? Yves: If Bollywood is open, I am ready. Though back in Europe we do not get to see much of Indian movies, yet, given an opportunity, I would definitely like to work in Hindi films. Aman: Tell us something about your upcoming projects? Yves: Soon I will be releasing my singles ‘Don’t Turn Back’ and ‘Until Tomorrow’. Besides this, there is so much to add this summer. Aman: Down the line, how would you like to see yourself – a DJ or something else? Yves: (Smiles) I would like to be remembered as a music producer, but I enjoy being a DJ more, I guess. (Breaks into a laugh) I think I would like to be remembered both as a DJ and a producer. Aman: Any message for aspiring DJs and fans across India? Yves: I would like to say that just make music for pleasure, make music for people and not for yourself. Make people dance to your music!
