MUSIC... is just so important to me. I am interested in every new thing that turns me on. It's a matter of feeling. I like arts and beauty, I like truth and freedom. I like smiles and sex with sensuality. I love traveling, discovering new cultures and people. I like communication & languages. I love reading interesting books, watching movies that make me dream. I like sexy boys and girls with a brain and I LOVE my fiancée.
Cool electronic artists, DJs and electro scene from Italy (my new place). Nice people who care for others, will to share and spread peace... Beautiful People with Beautiful Minds. Life entertainers, club and party promoters. People who stay awake, who stay aware, who keep learning and opening themselves. Anyone who can teach me new things. Clubbers from around the world that would like to meet up for some good sessions when I travel around,... and all my friends spread around the world, connected or not, they are linked to my life.
Every kind of music with soul in it, genuine, innovative and which makes my feet move.
I mostly listen to electronic music, but I love everything that does not sound cheesy and has some vibes.Some of my all-time favorites are:
[Electro]: Air, Autechre, Plaid, Boards of Canada, Aphex Twin
[House]: Masters at work, Kerry Chandler, Jazzanova and M. Alex Barck (for me one of the best DJ I have ever met), Ludovic Llorca, Blue Six and the Naked Music label, Chateau Flight and Versatile, Phonique and Dixon from Berlin and every good deephouse that has been produced in the last 15 years. Too much good stuff to enumerate... and the list is growing.
[Techno]: Laurent Garnier, Spiral Tribe (reminds me of my first experiences in the french rave parties scene, Hardfloor, and the Berlin independent / minimal tek crew (BPitch, Kitty-Yo, Mobilee, Cadenza, Connaisseur, M-nus & Perlon...)
[Pop Rock]: Jeff Buckley, Placebo, Coldplay, Nada Surf, PJ Harvey, Goldfrapp, Morcheebah, Massive Attack, Muse
[Classical] Bach, Beethoven, Chopin, Rachmaninov
[Jazz] Erik Truffaz, Chet Baker, Miles Davis
[French] Serge Gainsbourg, Georges Brassens, Mickey 3D, M, Vincent Delerm, Cali, La Rue Ketanou, Thomas Fersen, Mathieu Boogaerts, Dominique A, Noir Desir, Katerine and any good new french singer or band breaking in.I disrespect commercial stuff produced to feed the mass with mainstream shit.

I love movies, but certainly lack of time to go see them, except in the transatlantic flights on a mini-screen... I love the films of Kusturica and his crazy movies/musicians- Sofia Coppola's Lost in Translation - Jim Jarmusch's broken flowers and Ghost Dog - and certainly I love all french comedies, e.g. Le Poulpe, le goût des autres, le bonheur est dans le pré, and every movie like Cedric Klapisch style : Le péril jeune, l'auberge espagnole, Un air de Famille, les poupées russes) - without forgetting Jean Pierre Jeunet's brilliant movies. too much good stuff to enumerate them all here.
I have No time for TV except when I am jet-lagged at the hotel. If I had time, I might watch music programs, extreme sports, quality porn, visual arts or travel reports. I hate reality shows, and trash TV, except if my friends are in there. I like movies without commercial breaks. I am addicted to Prison Break
I like comics but can also read text. I like books that tells about life and love. I loved to dream reading Thorgal. I like non-boring philosophy and psychology, and I like sci-fi. I have been reading interesting stuff from those guys: Maupassant - Pierre Boulle - Ray Bradbury - Abbe Pierre - Dalaii Lama - Stefan Zweig - Patrick Sueskind - Jean Giono.
I hate star system but I got influences. Peacemakers. Fighters for liberty and equality. Music kings. People who respect our planet and who think before they act. I kinda like Michael Scoffield and Desmond Hume.
