He’s one of the most famous DJ’s on the planet, an opinion leader of the fashion scene, loved by the Hip-Hop elite and the In-Crowds at the clubs alike. In the Anglophone-speaking area, he’s called “The Super-Producer”; he’s solo artist, band chief, label head and beloved father of a wonderful border-collie female named Maude, much more than fits intro a usual Jet-Set life, where a day has only 24 hours as well.
