Cedric Gervais

Who’s house? “This is MY HOUSE” shouts one of the world’s finest producers

Interview by Dan Prince


Cedric a massive welcome back to DMCWORLD…where in the world are you today?

“At home in Miami preparing for Miami Music Week.”

Where can we catch you this time round?

“I’ll be headlining at LIV on Wednesday, hosting the MY HOUSE pool party on Saturday with a bunch of friends, and headlining the house stage at Ultra Saturday night.”

As a Miami resident – do you enjoy your home city being taken over by thousands of clubbers every year – or is it a pain?

“It’s fun for me as I don’t have to go anywhere and all my friends are in town.”

The best and worst thing about living in Miami?

“There is no bad thing Dan, I love it here.

Best Miami club right now?

“LIV.”

Another Saturday night, another night in Sin City at your residency at The Marquee Las Vegas. Are you loving it on the strip?

“There’s no where else like Vegas. It’s always insane. Everyone’s there just to party!”

It always intrigues me when DJs go to Vegas, you get bundles of dollar to entertain the masses out there – do you ever hit the gambling tables?

“No afraid not, I’m not a gambling man.”

So thrilling news for you at the moment with the launch of your monthly podcast MY HOUSE…talk us through this exciting new project…

“My podcast is different than my radio show, because on my radio show I can play a number of tracks that I wouldn’t necessarily DJ. I wanted to create this new series of podcasts to highlight my club sets.”

We are hearing whispers of a slew of new singles coming our way…what can you tell us?

“I’ve got a slew of new singles coming your way!!”

Nice little clip on your Facebook page of you jamming with Antoine Becks in the studio. Love your guitar skills! Who though in your mind is the GREATEST ever guitar player?

“Jimi Hendrix.”

An album in your collection we’d be surprised to find?

“The Doors.”

You of course won a Grammy for your remix of Lana Del Rey’s ‘Summertime Sadness’ back in 2013…it was another big night for awards a few weeks ago with The Oscars. Did you watch it and did you agree with the winners?

“I didn’t watch it so can’t comment. Was it any good?”

A big tune in your box this weekend…

“Whatever I feel like the crowd is feeling is what I’ll play!”

An up and coming producer we should be looking out for this year?

“Dizzy.”

3 bucket list adventures you wanna do in your lifetime…

“Driving around South of Italy

Sailing in Greece / Mykonos

Traveling to the Inca Temples in Peru.”

When was the last time you pressed rewind and listened to a track over again because it was so damned good?

Last night! I can’t tell you what it is though!!”

A festival/event in your 2015 diary that you just cannot wait for?

“Coachella.”

And finally let’s skip forward 12 months – what is the main thing you want to achieve in 2015?

I’ve got a lot of new music that I’m really excited about and can’t wait to see what happens…”
