INTERVIEW ø1 - What is the place where you most like to play ? Since the begining of The Welderz, we have played in differents incredible places ! Every gigs are really differents and always postive ! We have had the chance to play alongside Slam at Rex Club , i will say that this experience was the most significant because it was a kid’s dream for all of us to play in this techno temple with the soma’s boss ø2 - What is your producing set up ? Quiet simple : Ableton live 9 with pack of VST and some midi-controllers/ Machine Native Instrument/ Electribe ESX1 and EMX de Kord and one Waldorf Blofeld. Everything is connected with Allen & Heath’s mixer ø3 - Where do you pick your inspiration ? We listen a lot of music, not only techno, every kind of. The inspiration can come as well to the listenning of a noise which give us the idea of synthetizer, to the listenning of a track which guide to a groove. Indeed we pick our inspiration everywhere. There is no rules Everytime when the public applause at the end of our prestation, it’s a unique sensation ø4 - How do you know each other ? We have been presented by a common friend, there is more than 10 years in a Mexican restaurant. We was already dj and we liked the same music and we have had a kind of love at first sight ø5 - Why did you decided to work together ? Indeed, we have begun to learn production together, then we have evoluated till personal project during many years. In 2012, we have decided to produce techno tracks together, for the trip and we said that it was a lovely idea and then The Welderz was born ø6 - Most of your tracks have been released on label such as FLASH, Amazon Rec and Analytictrail. What are your connexion with those labels ? We have really good relation with Florian Meindl the Flash’s boss who manages his label in a familiar way. It’s very aggreable to work with him, we have had the occasion to meet him several times, it’s someone very accessible and who have helped us to progress in our way to produce ! With Markantonio, Analytic Rail’s boss, we had less occasion to discuss about something else than work, but it’s as well someone with who there is a real confidence relation and he is really exigent about us and we send him a lot of demos which come from studio. We didn’t have the occasion to meet him but we hope that we will do it very soon Amazon it’s the family ! Amazon’s boss, Marco Asoleda, he is our booker in the Amazone agency and he is a real friend ! Amazon is the label of passionates, the oldiest french techno label still active !! ø7 - How could you describe your ep on ARTS ? Could you tell us more about this label and the mysterious Emmanuel ? It’s one of our EP acccomplished, i think, we had really showed in which direction we want to guide for our next releases. I can’t say anything about Emmanuel because have not had any relation with him, the EP on ARTS have been done with the Canadian manager of the label, Jimmy. Emmanuel have just approve the tracks so he stays really mysterious in our eyes as well ø8 - Do you have some wishes for 2015 ? For the moment, the year is in good way. We have a lot of gigs thanks to our residence with the collective Parisien Newtrack. We hope to have some gigs in other countries, many things are in progress.
