DAVID BORSU

What’s The Best Night Out You’ve ever Had?
I like to think the best one is yet to come. To the present day, I’d say playing at Belgium’s finest dance music festival ’10 Days Off’ in 2003. It was on the same night than Richie Hawtin & was incredible : about 2000 people and a HUGE soundsystem!!

What’s Your Favourite Club?
I don’t go out in clubs that much anymore actually but Plastic People in London is amazing. Unique soundsystem and good music policy ! We have lots of nice clubs in Belgium but unfortunately music is so horrible in there!

What’s Your Favourite Record Of All-time?
This is the toughest question i can think of… so just one title… John Coltrane ‘Ole’.

What Record Can’t You Stand?
I reckon i really don’t understand Metal/Hardcore stuff 😉

What Record Did You Lose Your Virginity Too?
Pink Floyd – ‘Umma Gumma’ LP.

What Was The Last Record You Bought?
Visioneers : ‘Dirty Old Hip-Hop’  (Omniverse) An outstanding album from 4Hero’s Marc Mac & friends.

Name Three Of Your Biggest Influences…
Herbie Hancock, Bugz In The Attic, Jazzanova.

Who Would Play You In ‘David Borsu The Movie’
Gary Oldman would perfectly do the trick though i’ve been told quite a few times i look like french actor Vincent Cassel.

What’s Your Dream?
I wish I could play all musical instruments at a fairly good level, drums above all !!

How Do You Escape?
I guess music is my daily escape. Otherwise I travel as much as I can, mainly in big cities.

What Is Your Life Philosophy?
Om Mani Padme Hum.

Tell Us Something That We Don’t Know About ‘David Borsu’
I’m crazy about Thai food, it’s nearly obsessive.
