KASHOVSKI “Great Music Alone Isn’t Always Enough To Build A Career”

Off the back of new single “Show Me”, Kashovski takes on our Q&A, covering everything from Zidane to his greatest fear.

What’s your greatest fear?

God’s judgement.

What is the trait you most deplore in yourself?

Sometimes I’m a bit too reserved.

If you weren’t making or playing music, what would you be doing?

A professional athlete. Maybe football, if I’d been good enough.

What was your most embarrassing moment?

I once played a private party where the guy who booked me spent the first 20 minutes dancing alone in front of me, asking for nothing but my own tracks.

What would your superpower be?

Reading a crowd.

If you could bring something extinct back to life, what would you choose?

The original Ibiza beach afterparties.

The best moment? The studio: That's where the magic happens

What was the last lie that you told?

Pretending I remembered someone when I didn’t.

Must-visit record store or studio?

Yoyaku Record Shop, Paris.

How do you like to finish your sets?

With a classic. Not necessarily electronic music.

If not yourself, who would you most like to be?

Michael Jackson.

When’s the last time you changed your mind about something significant?

Cancelling a release because the vibe around it didn’t feel right anymore.

What sparks your creativity?

Listening to music, running, and stepping into clubs where I don’t know what I’m about to hear.

Who’s the next name everyone should know?

ZARO from Brazil. Keep an eye on him.

Favourite sportsperson ever?

Zinedine Zidane.

Moby – Go.

What’s the worst track or set you’ve ever done?

Thankfully, my worst tracks are still sitting on my hard drive.

By genre first, then by date. I also create folders for different periods depending on what I’m playing.

Recommend a film.

Oldboy. One of the best plot twists I’ve ever seen.
