Interview:

DHM:
Tell us a little about yourself. How did you start your career?

Deep Spelle:
I started to DJ in 2002. Back then i was playing mostly records. Music became stronger in me and i decided to start producing. I then had the chance to sign on few labels runned by artists i liked a lot. The Messenger for example. They signed my first productions back in 2010.

DHM: 
Why did you move from Paris to Montreal?

Deep Spelle:
It was mostly because my father who moved from France to Canada. I decided to follow him when i was 12 years old.

DHM:
Tell us about your nickname, why - Deep Spelle?

Deep Spelle:
Well, Deep House was and still is my favorite style. Spelle is my family name and i wanted to associate it with my artist name. It also has to do something with a « spell ». A deep spell for example. So i picked it up from there.

DHM:
You have a unique ability to make hypnotic music, how do you do it?

Deep Spelle:
It’s a lot of work. When im in the studio i try to be as creative as i can. Sometimes it works and sometimes it does not. Its a question of feeling. I usually make a lot of song starters/ideas and put it aside. If everything flows nicely, i can finish a track in about 2 weeks. Other times it can be a slow process before i get what i want. I also try to follow my inspiration which means doing what i have in my head at the moment im thinking of it. It can be an idea or just a single sound or pattern.

DHM:
What brings music to your life?

Deep Spelle:
Music is essential to me in every sense. To me it’s way more than just music. Its a whole philosophy, a way of life.

DHM:
Who among today's DJs and musicians of world renown is the undisputed authority for you?

Deep Spelle:
There are many that i respect for their music. It’s a hard choice to just shoot a name like that. Kevin Yost and Gorge are for sure a reference for me but recently i have been really amazed by - EL Mundo.

DHM:
Your attitude to the format? What do you prefer released - on vinyl, digitally or not important?

Deep Spelle:
Today i cherish the vinyl release. It is the best sound on the market and it has its unique approach to it. I give much more credit to labels that do vinyles. 

DHM:
Can you share some creative plans for 2016?

Deep Spelle:
In 2016 im aiming some labels to sign with so i will be making a lot of music.

DHM:
How do you feel about criticism?

Deep Spelle:
It is important to see what people think of your music. Even if it sometimes can be hard to hear.. My brother « Maske » hears everything i produce way before it gets released and we have a bit of a different taste. So he destroys me sometimes.. But i take it and it ends up been helpful.

DHM:
What do you do in your spare time? Maybe you have a favorite hobby?

Deep Spelle:
When i can’t find my inspiration or finished a long session i love to watch movies or play video games.. It takes me completely out of music making and its good. Otherwise i love to grab my bag full of vinyles and go spin at some friends place.

DHM:
To us, Cyclic Records is a guarantee of quality. What about for You?

Deep Spelle:
I love Cyclic Records.

DHM:
And the last question. In 2016, will you be working more with  Mihai Popoviciu?

Deep Spelle:
Mihai - is a huge part of my inspiration and I had the chance to have him in Montreal recently as we played together for a Cyclic night. We spent a couple hours in the studio and i would say we get along well. It’s a pleasure to work with him and I will probably do more for his label.
