繼TAI的專訪之後,今天我們很高興的能與NinetyniNe進行這次的對話,在對話的同時我們也知道NinetyniNe剛剛好完成了他在Coco Machete Records即將於2011年發行的NNPP單曲以及Remix EP的唱片A-Side部份,真是令人期待他在2011年的驚人爆發力!!!以下是對話的內容:
E4Electro簡稱E:
NinetyniNe簡稱N:
E:
Hi NinetyniNe!! 可以跟我們談談你沒有表演時的日常生活都在做些甚麼嗎?
你的名字NinetyniNe命名有沒有甚麼特別的由來與含義?
N:
Hi, E for Electro團隊, 希望你們都好！
我平日的工作是軟體工程師,也就是以寫程式為生. 這工作對我來說還滿酷的，因為我是一個電腦書呆子。工作以外的時間我都在創作和弄接下來的音樂方面的計畫。如果不是在作Ninetynine的東西, 就是在作NNPP(Ninetynine plus Pierce)的東西。我沒有一天不碰音樂.
Ninetynine這個名字是出自我最喜歡的歌 “Casius – 1999”。這首歌一發行我就迷上了。我想我聽這首歌的次數不下2000次。
E:
你身為一位加拿大的音樂創作者,是如何讓你的音樂成功進入法國跳舞圈＆唱片廠牌的呢?
N:
說真的, 打從Daft Punk的homework開始, 法國舞曲界就一直像地心引力一般的吸引著我. 買CD通常都有附本子, 裡面會寫合作藝人的名字或是特別向誰致意那種東西, 以前我都會去看Daft Punk的CD本子裡面寫到哪些名字, 因為那些名字通常都是很屌的法國舞曲界強者, 然後我就會去follow那些名字. 到了2002年, 我在聽一整掛法國音樂人做的東西, 我想這造就了我的音樂風格. 剩下的就是歷史了啦.. 法國人超愛我的音樂.
E:
說說關於你對於你所創作的音樂想要表達給大家的概念為何嗎?
N:
很好的問題噢.. 我想表達的主要概念是”釋放“.. 當你在聽我的音樂的時候, 我所希望造成的效應是你完全失去自我控制, 感受到隨著音樂用力點頭的衝動, 然後瘋狂的跳舞 跳到你不能在跳為止. 如果你們從我的音樂裡面看得見我想表達的愛,我的目的就算達成了吧.
E.
可以提供給台灣的樂迷們你最近最喜歡的5首歌嗎?
N:
Mr Oizo – Cheetas (Missy Elliot Bootleg)
Zombie Nation – Squeek
El Coco – Cocomotion
Mouzon’s Electric Band – Everybody Get Down
Ryuichi Sakomoto – Revenge
這幾首歌可能不是很新, 也不盡是electro… 我聽音樂的選擇傾向於跟我作的東西不太一樣的東西. 這樣可以確保持續我的創作的特別度和新鮮度, 而不是跟主流一樣的東西。
E:
最近還有哪些表演以及發行的計畫嗎?
N:
這次迷你亞洲巡演之後, 2011年應該會是個很重要的一年. 3月會去歐洲宣傳99和NNPP的單曲, 確定會跑的點有比利時, 法國, 倫敦和德國. 我打算8月回來亞洲向我的朋友和迷弟迷妹們散播歡樂散播愛.
音樂的發行方面, 剛剛有提到2011年3月會用99的名字發兩張EP, 會不會在DIGITHYPE上面發還不確定, 但是EP一定會發, 然後應該會取名叫REVENGE. DOMINIC PIERCE和我還想要另外發一張NNPP的EP, 應該會是一張在全球各地融化舞池的EP. 三月會是個大月.
原版EP發行之後我會開始跟一些很有名氣的藝人一起做REMIX, 繼續宣傳99和好音樂.
E:
在比利時Flght Klub與Shinchi Osawa 一起表演應該非常過癮吧!
可以和我們說說那場表演是否有發生一些有趣的事物呢?
N:
是的！跟Shinichi Osawa一起放歌很好玩. 舞廳超大, 人很多很瘋狂. 我放了一個很特別的Set, 至於為什麼特別, 是因為每首歌都是我自己做的remix或是親手編輯過改過的歌, 舞池反應好得很誇張. 可以跟大明星Shinichi Osawa和QG一起放歌感覺超棒的, 我就只是一個沒人認識的安靜的加拿大人, 但是到我放歌的時候大家就瘋狂了.
至於有趣的事物呢.. 其實不算有.. 我從頭到尾都還滿輕鬆的, 但我的朋友被從三樓往下吐的嘔吐物淋滿全身, 很噁心但我覺得很好笑, 因為不是我被吐到..
E:
有什麼話想對台灣的樂迷與舞客說嗎?
N:
我愛大家！我愛你們給我的支持！把我的音樂分享給你們的朋友, 大家一起準備好聽法式浩室跳舞.. 我要來了！
E:
Hi NinetyniNe, Could you tell us about your everyday life when your not touring or playing at shows? And how did you get the name NinetyniNe? Is there a special meaning behind it?
N:
Hey E for Electro Team, I hope you’re well
In my every day life, I am a software engineer. I program for a living. It’s actually pretty cool, I’m a big nerd about it. Other than my day job, I spend a large amount of time producing and working on future projects. There doesn’t go a day where I don’t work on music. If I am not working on my ninetynine project, I am working on NNPP (Ninetynine plus Pierce).
The name ninetynine comes from one of my favourite tracks, Cassius – 1999. When that song first came out, I was hooked. I think I may have listened to that song 2000 times.
E:
Being a Canadian music producer, how did you succeed the French scene and join French record label?
N:
Honestly, every since Daft Punk’s homework has come out, I’ve always gravitated towards the French scene. I was always reading the notes inside of cd booklets to see who Daft punk would give a shout out to, then go listen to their music, and keep on following the trail of french badasses. By the time 2002 came around, I was listening to entire crews of musicians from france, so I guess the sound that I made and portrayed in my music took that form. The rest is history. The french love my stuff.
E:
About your music, what is the conceptual idea you’re trying to express?
N:
Good question. The general feeling I want to express is release. I hope when someone hears one of my tracks, they just lose all self control and feel the need to head bang, or dance till they can’t dance anymore. If they can see my love for music in the small things I do, I have accomplished my job.
E:
For your fans in Taiwan, please name 5 tunes that you like the most recently?
N:
These might be a bit dated, or not even electro I tend to stay away from the scene for the most part so I can keep making unique stuff, and not just stuff that is currently ‘in’.
E:
What are your gig and release plans?
N:
In addition to this mini asia tour, 2011 should be a huge year. European tour in March 2011 to promote the new Ninetynine EP/NNPP EP. This tour should cover Belgium, France, London, and Germany.
August 2011, I want to head back out to asia to show some love and throw down for some of my favourite fans.
AS far as releases go, like I said, March 2011 2 EPs with my name on it. I’m not sure on whether it’s going to be released on Digithype yet or not, but the new Ninetynine EP will be released... I’m thinking it will be called Revenge.
In addition to that, Dominic Pierce and myself want to release an NNPP ep to hopefully melt dancefloors across the globe. It will be a big month.
After the originals get out, I am going to kick it into remix mode, and I look to work with some fairly high profile individuals to keep promoting ninetynine, and good electro.
E:
It must have been epic playing with Flght Klub and Shinichi Osawa in Belgium. Could you share us some interesting stories?
N:
Oh yes, Shinichi Osawa was a lot of fun to play with. The club was massive, lots of people were going crazy. I played a really unique set; every track was an edit/remix I had done, and the response was insane. It felt good to get up there and play with some big names like Q.G. and Shinichi Osawa. I was this quiet canadian that most people didn’t know about, and when I played my set, people were blown away.
As for cool funny stories, I don’t really have any. It was pretty relaxed other than my entourage getting vomited on from like, 3 floors above. It was gross. And hilarious for me, because it didn’t happen to me. Good times.
E:
What would you like to say to your fans and clubbers in Taiwan?
N:
I love you all, and love the support you give. Share the music with your friends, and get ready to dance to some crazy disco edits, electro, and classic french house. Taiwan, here I come.
