French DJ and producer Michael Calfan is currently touring through North America with his \’Treasured Tour\’. Well know for tracks like \’Mercy\’ and \’Treasured Soul\’ plus his remixes for artists like Major Lazer and Oliver Heldens, the only way Michael Calfan is currently going with his lush French House beats is up.
Michael was kind enough to free up some time and answer our questions. Why not play the newest episode of his \’Treasured Tape\’ podcast while reading?
How is your tour going?
The Treasured Tour in North America is going so well, I played some good shows, made music in LA and today I’ll visit Boston with friends.
What item that you currently have with you on tour will surprise us?
Hum, let me think about this… My girlfriend haha!
How did you prepare for the tour beforehand?
To be honest the only preparation I had was to pack my suitcase. I did a lot of shows this summer so on the music side I’m ready. By the way, I never prepare my set, it all depends on the venue and the crowd.
What is the most memorable moment you\’ve had during the tour so far?
I had a lot but it’s always in relation with people I meet on tour. Sometimes it’s a driver, sometimes a guy I meet in the street. For example last time in Germany at 5 AM I was so hungry I decided to go to a fast food restaurant and in the line a guy started screaming \”Michael Calfan, Oh My god!\”. It was a guy who wasn’t able to enter in the club to see me, he paid me my food and we stayed outside for an hour to talk about stuff.
Your Major Lazer remix has just been released. How did that come about?
I’m a big fan of Major Lazer and when I received the request I was really excited about the idea to do it. The track is not easy to remix but I spent several weeks on it and here is the result.
What is the last track you\’ve listened to?
I\’ll answer you with Fabich & Ferdinand Weber, Dinnerdate – Souls Together.
