Our fabulous French friend SIRUS HOOD is back in the house this Saturday June 22nd for the GENE FARRIS and FRIENDS TOUR. SIRUS, let\u2019s start with an important topic. We LOVE your fashion sense! You are one of the best-dressed DJ\u2019s we have ever had play for us! <\/span><\/p>\n The French are notorious for being fashionable. Do you think this has influenced you greatly? <\/p>\n Thank you, it means a lot. Yes I think being French influences me a lot. French are very sensitive to fashion, especially in Paris. But I\u2019m also influenced by American fashion. I love the street style of the US combined with the refined European style. That would qualify how I dress.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n When did your love of cool fashion start?<\/p>\n Since i\u2019m little, I always tried to differentiate myself from the others, to have something unique. So I tried every style, it was sometimes extravagant, but without knowing it, it was a form of art, I understood this when I started making music.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Do you buy most of your wardrobe in Paris or elsewhere in the world while on tour?<\/p>\n I buy very few clothes in Paris because it\u2019s a city that is more into luxury and \u201cclassic\u201d style. For basics I buy in the UK or internet, and for more extravagant and unique pieces I do it in Los Angeles.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n What are some of your favorite brands at the moment? What is your monthly fashion budget? <\/p>\n Favourite brands: Joy Rich, Nike, Pink Dolphin, Topman, Fila..Monthly budget of $300-$500 a month<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Thank you, for clearing that up for us! We also LOVE Gene Farris and were so pleased that you were his PLUS ONE on this tour. How did you meet Gene?<\/p>\n I met Gene in London, Ministry Of Sound, we played the same night. But I didn\u2019t see him play. The time after that was at Dirtybird campout 2017. I remember being very impressed by his set.. I was listening from my tent because i was so tired haha. We got along directly, only fun and laughs between us since the beginning.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Have you played any shows with him before?<\/p>\n He invited me twice to play for his events at ADE and during Miami Music week this year. I think this is the first time we\u2019re really playing together and now doing solo sets and then a b2b for the first time at Halcyon, I can\u2019t be more excited. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Any fun stories about Gene you would like to share?<\/p>\n In London, the hotel where we were staying at had to evacuate every guest because of a fire alarm. When I got back from shopping, I saw Gene smoking outside. Then the hotel posted a note apologizing for the inconvenience, and saying that the fire alarm started because a guest was smoking in his hotel room hahaha, I knew instantly who did this!<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n LOL… SO naughty! You have released on DIRTYBIRD, a label synonymous with San Francisco and the West Coast. Tell us about your collaboration \u201cPARIS TO SF\u201d with ARDALAN. We LOVE it!<\/p>\n Paris to SF is a long story.. It a track we started 1 year before the actual release. We loved the drums but the lyrics used to say \u201cASS cream\u201d, and we were very unsure.. Then we asked Justin Martin what he thought about it, and he said that it sounds like a track about hemorrhoids haha.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Haha, not exactly a catchy lyric. How did the collaboration come about? Ardy is so much fun! Where did you guys work on the track? In SF or Paris or elsewhere? <\/p>\n We made the track in SF in 2014. Then, the year after when I came back to SF, we reworked the track. I had the idea of the lyrics \u201cParis to SF\u201d and Ardy recorded his sexy voice on his iPhone. We wanted to make a link between the 2 cities because I represent Paris and Ardy represents SF. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n \nWe are so pleased to have you back in SF! What is one tourist thing you would like to do on your visit to SF?<\/p>\n What I dream to see in SF is the prison of Alcatraz because at home with my friends, saying that \u201cit\u2019s Alcatraz\u201d is an expression meaning it\u2019s the worse place in the world.<\/p>\n Thank you for having me, I cannot wait to see my SF people again.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Well maybe we can make your dreams come true! We look forward to hearing another awesome set from you at the club! <\/p>\n Get your tickets now for GENE FARRIS & FRIENDS: SIRUS HOOD <\/p>\n\n
