The night you’d relive if you could?
Alarma at FVTVR with David Löhlein playing all day long. I didn’t disconnect from his set for a second. It was so intense, the vibe was unreal.

The set that made you a raver?
…my very first rave in 2018, at this tiny club in Nancy called LNVRS, during a night curated by RAW. You literally had to go down a slide to get into the club. It completely blew my mind.
Best raving advice you’d give a first-timer?
Don’t put too much pressure on yourself, just live in the moment. Trust yourself, stay open to people and to different sounds, and take the time to figure out what you like, and what you don’t!
