Growing up, music has always been a hobby but I never dared dreaming that I could turn it into something more.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What did you grow up listening to?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>My parents were really open minded and listened to a lot of different stuff&#8230; blues, jazz, classical music, rock&#8230; I \u2019d say that definitely shaped my childhood. I also have an older brother that I looked to when I was little, so I\u2019d often copy him and listen to what he was listening to. That\u2019s how I got into punk and hardcore music as a teenager.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What about house music, when did you first encounter that?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I think it was mostly French House stuff such as Alan Braxe, Daft Punk that I discovered in my late teens. After that I really got into acts such as The Field, Pantha du Prince etc, or what some people would call \u201cMicro House\u201d. It was only about 2 years ago that I really got into house music.<\/p>\n<p><strong>So how do you go about deciding which tracks you remix?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s usual the vocals. I look for hooks or sounds that really stand out to me.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Talk us through the process once you decide on the track?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s really different every time; I try not to rely on any formulas and apply them blindly. Sometimes I start with the vocals, chop them up and loop a short segment. Then I\u2019ll add drums to that loop, followed by synths. Other times I start with a bassline or synth lead that I\u2019m really into and add the vocals last.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Do you prefer working with instrumental or vocal?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Definitely vocals. Instrumentals are what I can come up with on my own so vocals are a bit more exciting.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How did it feel proving to the world you weren\u2019t just a one trick pony when you released \u2018Perfect Form\u2019?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It was great. I mainly just wanted to prove it to myself and I think that I achieved that. It\u2019s nice to be able to move past the remixes and focus on original material instead.<\/p>\n<p><strong>I read you majored in Art History, does that ever come in handy these days?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I haven\u2019t actually majored as I quit university to pursue my music. I think the one thing I learned was to really dissect or deconstruct a piece of art to its single elements, which I can apply to music as well.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Where is the best gig you have ever played?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s many favourites but it\u2019s always fun to play in a country\/city I haven\u2019t been to yet. I\u2019m really looking forward to my first show in Japan this summer for example.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Japan is amazing. If we came to Vancouver to say hi, where would you take us?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I would probably take you to Lighthouse Park. It\u2019s a bit outside the city but it\u2019s the best place to spend a day in the summer. There\u2019s nice woods and cliffs by the ocean. Great spot for a picnic and some drinks.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sounds great. What does the rest of 2014 have in store for you?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I just got back from a tour in Europe but I\u2019m heading back there for more shows in July. At the end of July I\u2019m headed to Japan for a festival. In August I\u2019m doing a North American tour which is gonna be very different from most tours, you\u2019ll find out more soon. In terms of released, I wrapped up a couple of songs during spring which should be coming out on an EP on PMR Records soon. One of the songs will be premiered next month I think. I\u2019ll still be playing shows in the fall but I set a lot of time aside for studio time so hopefully I\u2019ll be able to release an album eventually.<\/p>\n<p><i>See Cyril Hahn at W.A.R! in Ibiza 11th July.
