During confinement, DJ Bob Sinclar organizes concerts on his social networks on a daily basis. A special situation that he particularly appreciates, since he always dreams of being able to play what he wants when he wants to.

INTERVIEW

Paradoxically, confinement can sometimes rhyme with freedom. This is particularly the case for Bob Sinclar. Like many artists, the DJ decided to perform daily on the Internet via his social networks, Instagram and Facebook, during the confinement. From 2 p.m. to 3 p.m., he therefore offers a concert in total freedom. Guest of "The wild team" of Europe 1 this Tuesday, he recounts "this moment of ecstasy, of artistic plenitude".

"I always dream of being able to play what I wanted when I wanted to"

Unlike a paid performance, "where people expect him for his big hits" like "Love Generation" or "Rock This Party", Bob Sinclar has the opportunity to play whatever he wants during his sets . And for good reason, he is alone in his studio with his "35,000 records and two phones to be live worldwide". "I always dream of being able to play what I wanted when I wanted to, I let them discover my history, my musical culture ... It is an extraordinary opportunity!", He explains at the microphone of Europe 1.

Millions of views ...

However, it was almost by chance that this idea germinated in his mind. "When the confinement was announced, I told myself that I was going to put all my records in alphabetical order, which would occupy me for a while. And it was when I arrived at the studio that the idea came to me to do a live on Instagram to play my classics, just to laugh. " A first concert with immediate success. "There were immediately millions of shares, messages, videos of families dancing, and I told myself that I had to organize this: one theme per day with the aim of not playing twice the same thing."

... and interested clubs

House, but also funk or disco ... Bob Sinclar comes out of the musical styles which propelled him to the rank of world class DJ. A side step that also seems to appeal to club managers who have already started to call him "to ask [him] to play the same thing as at [him]". Which makes the artist say "something is happening musically", and makes him even more "impatient" to see the end of confinement.
