***INTERVIEW BELOW // ENTREVUE CI-DESSOUS***

A real banger of a mix this week from our friend @symplectic !

Simon is one of those heads who is always finding big new ways to contribute to the scene. Infamous for his high-bpm, quick cuttin' DJ sets, he's also co-founder/resident of the Toulouse-based @moontripasso and co-founder/co-owner for @vaguesrecords. 

All aboard the Frapcore Express 🚂💨

Quelle forme d'art, autre que la musique, apprécies-tu spécialement ?

Je m'intéresse beaucoup au cinéma et pendant cette dernière année à la maison j’ai pu bien investir le domaine… Mes films préférés étant bien évidemment les deux OSS117. Sinon en fonction de l’humeur je peux regarder de tous les styles même si j’ai quand même un faible pour les scénario inspirés de faits réels. La plus grosse claque récente que j’ai prise étant sur la mini série “When they see us” (“Dans leur regard”) qui raconte (l’histoire vraie) d’une enquête montée de toute pièce accusant délibérement à tort 5 ados noirs d’Harlem pour viol.

Hormis la musique pour danser, vers quels albums, artistes ou styles gravites-tu ?

Depuis l'adolescence, je suis passionné de rap francais. Contrairement à la musique électronique j’écoute très rarement du rap pour "m'ambiancer". Je suis très tourné vers ce qu’on appelle le “rap conscient". Ça peut être du rap avec un engagement politique/social comme on retrouve dans les textes de La Canaille, Medine, Vin’s; ou des textes sombres qui racontent le mal de vivre, comme Furax, Dooz Kawa ou pour moi un des meilleurs niveau écriture, Lucio Bukowski. 

Que tentes-tu de communiquer lorsque tu joues ou produis ta musique ? 

Lorsque j’ai commencé à mixer et que j’ai monté mon asso Moontrip à Toulouse (France), j’ai pris l’habitude de faire les closing des soirées qu’on organisait. En général c’était des sets d’une heure, la dernière heure où on donne tout. Le but étant de clôturer sur un set énervé où tout le monde se déchaîne avant la fin de la soirée (ou le début de l’after). J’aime particulièrement ce genre de set :) 

Décris-nous le DJ booth ou le scénario d'une performance idéale selon toi. 

Une des performances que je rêverai de voir c’est [KRTM] vs Twan en hybrid set !

Un morceau que tu as hâte de faire tourner sur un gros système en contexte post-COVID ?

Antifa is my cousin.  I heard some people were looking for her.  Since I like to be helpful when I can, she was in Alexandria last time I talked to her, three weeks ago.  I think she mentioned going to Zurich in the near future.
.
As I understand it a conspiracy is supposed to be secret so please don't tell anyone.

Is it 1984 already?!?!

I have not been able to recover access to my other account [https://soundcloud.com/ha-kekong] for a couple of years.  I have tried a few times to get back into it but SoundCloud doesn't trust me.  Same phone number, same email addresses, and they still claim that they can't verify my identity.  I created that account about three years ago as a substitute to my regular account which SoundCloud temporarily closed.  They closed it as part of some upgrade procedure in their system, the result of a bug that affected many accounts, about two years ago.  Since SC did not inform its users I didn't know if that was permanent or not, so I created that other account which I can't access.  Don't be mad if I have not replied to your message in the past two years, that's because I never got them ; ) ... You can always reach me here though.
...

This one here (957729823) is for regular folks.

I love you, both.

...

You can't see it because of the angle with which I took the shot, aiming down, but beyond those blocks is the sea.  To the left is the Mediterranean, to the right is the Atlantic Ocean.  No it's not Gibraltar, but a little bit further West. ... Actually I checked recently and it is further North more than West, I thought I was facing South when in fact I probably was facing the Atlantic ocean, which is why I suppose the waves were of a decent size where we were.

I then went ahead and butchered his work with a borrowed helmet.
... Sorry Joe. =(
...

I'm trying to promote what I think is good music, so if you want to help out a bit I'd rather you [like] or [repost] my *playlists* rather than my field recordings, if you don't mind, unless you are a die hard fan of those things. Thank you ; )

I speak French, so if you send me a private message, and that you are a francophone, please write in French, thank you.  ... I mean, you don't absolutely have to, but I would prefer it. 

All my field recordings (except for when I record a person) are public, freely downloadable by anyone who is able to click on the button.  I encourage anyone interested to use them in any way whatsoever, on purpose or accidentally. No need for permissions or credits or any other kind  of administrative maneuvers.
...

Anarchists give me hope.

I'm a big fan of EFF.  Love ya EFF.  (no connection with the above line)
... and of course Richard Stallman and Linux and all the others.  Bless yous.

Now don't be lazy, go find out what it is this "EFF" that I'm talking about.  I'll give you a hint: it has to do with computers.

You have a nice day now.  Hugs & Kisses.
