Interview with
      The Sun
  of DREAMDEALERS

MD: This  time we have interviewed one
    of  the  best  musicians in France
    called Sun!  He is a member of the
    wellknown   DREAMDEALERS  and  (as
    said   above)   he   is  a  really
    talented  musician...   At first I
    greet you, Djam!  Please give us a
    few details about yourself.




SD: Hoaw!   Hi  Andreas.   Well  a few
    details  about myself:  I'm a boy,
    I'm  not  a  girl  (logic).  I'm a
    brown  haired  guy  (common).  I'm
    Half-tibetan,   Half-french.   And
    I'm  20, etc etc.  Nothing more to
    say...


MD: Please  give  us  a  few  detailed
    informations  about your crew, the
    DREAMDEALERS.   Date  of founding,
    organisation,   stunning  releases
    and all such things for glory!

SD: Back  in 1988, DRD was born from 3
    guys  (Croquik,  Kougar, Sun).  At
    first  there was nothing to do coz
    we  were  not  "good"  enough, but
    after  Redlight joined us we began
    to feel a little better.  With the
    upcomming of Moby and 2 Gfx (Tony,
    Tik), we were at least in order to
    make  something  "cute".  Stunning
    releases?    Cute  Releases!   Our
    last  demos:   Tales  of  a Dream,
    Innervision,  and  our  so  called
    Dentro:    Drinktro,   Beachtro...
    But  we  will not stop here others
    Demos will show up soon...
 

MD: Please    continue    with    your
    scene-life  and  with  your job as
    `Sun`!   We  want  to know how you
    started (also as musician?) and on
    which  way  you  got in touch with
    the  other members of DRD!  Was it
    pure chance?  Was it with the help
    of a computer-magazine?  Questions
    over questions for you.

SD: I  am  not  a "true musician", I'm
    just an "Amiga musician", like a a
    lot   of  people  around.   I  met
    Kougar,  Croquik,  Redlight  at my
    "school   duties",  this  was  the
    beginning  of  our  crew!  Luck or
    destiny?  Who knows?  Who Cares?!?
    (Except you, hehe!)


MD: Were  the  DREAMDEALERS your first
    team  or are there other ex-groups
    of yours still in the scene?

SD: Yes, DRD is my first group.  Watch
    above!  Hek Hek.


MD: When did you start composing music
    and  did  you  learn  all hints to
    work   with   the   Protracker  by
    yourself?   I  think  that  it  is
    quite  hard to create useful music
    so  try  to  answer this question.
    Perhaps   you  are  also  able  to
    motivate other musicians with your
    tips and your story...

SD: Everything  I learned from the Ptk
    was  by myself of course, with the
    help  of  some ripped modules etc.
    I  had  to  rip  some  modules  to
    understand  some  tricks, sorry...
    But  I'm  sure  everybody  do  the
    same, no?!?
    Ptk effects are really powerful if
    there  was  a  mix between Ptk and
    Sonic  Arranger  it  should make a
    Great  impact.   Time has come no?
    It's  been  a  long time since the
    last  releases  of  Ptk, I believe
    that  something  more  has  to  be
    added.  It's a Big Work anyway...


MD: Are  you using also other hardware
    to  compose music like Synthesizer
    or  things  like  that?   Are  you
    digitizing all samples by yourself
    or  are  you  using  more  or less
    `standard samples`?

SD: I  don't  own a synthesizer but as
    soon I will be able to, I will get
    one  of  these musics machines.  I
    sold  my Digitizer to a friend who
    owns a synthesizer so as soon as I
    think  about  it  I will make some
    digits.   Hehe.   For  now  I  use
    ripped   samples  from  differents
    modules!  Not all from the same, I
    rip samples!  I do not steal them!
    Huu!


MD: How  much  time are you working on
    one  module?   (Not the exact time
    because   I   know   that`s   very
    different   but   `all   in   all`
    please...)

SD: Wah  wah  wah, from one day to one
    month.   I  work  on 2 or 3 mod at
    the  same time and I erase the 2 I
    don't like after a week, according
    to my "feelings of the moment".
 

MD: We  all  know  that  there is also
    another   great  musician  in  DRD
    called  Moby.  Perhaps a few dudes
    think  that he is composing better
    music than you and that`s also the
    reason   why   there   are   often
    Moby-tunes  in DREAMDEALERS-demos.
    Do  you  think  that he is more or
    less   a  little  `concurrent`  of
    yours  or  are  you  a  quite good
    friend of Moby?

SD: Not  a few dudes!  A lot of dudes!
    But  to  excuse  myself:  he began
    before  me,  hauhau  (scuze fred)!
    I'm  quite a good friends of every
    DRD  members, Moby is one of them!
    Why  Moby  tunes  in  DRD demos???
    His  music  pleasee  a lot of guys
    But  don't  cry  my tune will show
    up...   Believe  it...   (Hin hin)
    (If ya like it, Of course!)


MD: Perhaps  a  few  old scene-members
    can  rememeber  that Moby was once
    upon  a  time  an ALCATRAZ-member!
    Do you know his reason why he left
    ATZ a few years ago?

SD: ATZ  is  a far group, Moby was the
    only  french  member of that team.
    (I think ), so being far away from
    his  team  was  maybe a little bit
    difficult  for  exchanging  ideas,
    etc.    But  anyway  ATZ  are  our
    friends  so  what,  it's  just  an
    member   swap   (Hihihi)...   Next
    please.


MD: I know that there are no divisions
    of DRD in other countries.  Please
    explain   your  reasons  for  this
    fact.   Is  it caused of (perhaps)
    missing   communications   between
    WHQ/divisions or why?

SD: It's  mainly because we won't like
    to  be  too much guys!  15 members
    are  quite  good enough for a crew
    (we are 10).  Being too much would
    mean   a   lack  of  communication
    between the members, we don't want
    that.

     
MD: How  many  dudes are working under
    the DREAMDEALERS-label?

SD: 10 guys:
    Redlight,  Pict,  7Th Eye, Croquik
    for the Coding.
    Tik, Tony, Zebig for the Gfx.
    Kougar,  Moby,  Sun  (!)  for  the
    Music.


MD: What  is your opinion about modem-
    traders  and sysops?  (I know that
    there are no boards of DRD around,
    so give us your opinion...)

SD: Modem  is  great  when  it doesn't
    mean  High  Speed  Piracy.   For a
    team  who  has  members  in  other
    country   that's   great,   it  is
    impossible  to  lose  your data by
    this way, I won't say the same for
    the letters (You do understand why
    Andreas!)


MD: Now  to  your  country...  France!
    Tell   us   something  about  your
    hometown,  about  the  weather and
    such  crap, please.  And of course
    about  the  damned  good cooks and
    about Paris - the town of art!

SD: Ok,  Hometown:   not bad, Weather:
    bad,  Cook:   it's  ok  for  me...
    Paris?  Not nice at all!  Too many
    people in!


MD: To  another fact.  Back to history
    and  back  to  the roots of France
    and  Germany...   Perhaps you know
    that  both  countries  were during
    lots   of  centuries  the  biggest
    enemies!   Remember  the first and
    the  second  worldwar and the time
    before  -  Germany and France were
    fighting all the time against each
    other!  A few dudes said something
    about  an  ARCH-ENEMIE!   Is  this
    also   your  opinion  or  are  you
    hoping (like me) that this time of
    `enemity` is over now?

SD: Where  the  hell  did you find out
    those  Questions?   Haha!  I don't
    care  about  the  past,  Only  the
    Present & future time does count!


MD: Do  you  think  that  the scene is
    only just for fun or it is more or
    less real business for you?

SD: For  me  it  is just for fun!  And
    for  fame  too,  fame is fun!  But
    fun  before  fame after...  Do you
    follow me?!?


MD: Your   opinion  about  cigarettes,
    alcohol  and  drugs?   Would it be
    correct to legalize drugs?

SD: All  of  that  are  SHITS!  Except
    alcohol   for   our  future  Drink
    Charts!  Hehehe!


MD: What   are   the  future-plans  of
    DREAMDEALERS?    Winning  all  the
    time  the  first price on a french
    copy-party  (as  usual) or perhaps
    things like a chart?

SD: OoWw  we  don't win that often!  I
    think  that those in the 2nd price
    won't    be   happy   after   that
    interview,  hahaha  (joke!)...  We
    are  doing  a  Charts  called  the
    DRINK-CHARTS it's meant to be 100%
    delirium,   just   look   in   the
    Drinktro to know how to vote!  And
    to  know  the meaning of this name
    (If  you  haven't  figured  it out
    yet,  you  are  surely  an  outter
    space alien!).
    And  we  are Organizing a party at
    Montpellier  (france)  this summer
    with DEVILS & EOC (details later).


MD: I  heard  something  about a co-op
    with  ALLIANCE DESIGN and a charts
    called Drink Charts.  Was the coop
    only  arranged  for  the charts or
    will  there  be a real cooperation
    between both teams in the future?

SD: There  is  a  cooperation  for the
    Drink  Charts  between  A.D / DRD.
    But  A.D  are  about to show their
    last  production  after  that they
    will  join  us  (Zebig,  Pict, 7th
    eye).    Corto  Stopped  activites
    until  God  gave him a new job and
    other  A.D  formed some new french
    division   of   a  Stanger  Group,
    that's all!


MD: List  a  few of your favourites in
    things of music (REAL music...) We
    want  to know which music-band you
    prefer and things like that!

SD: Well,  well...  I do not listen to
    music often, anyway.  Those I like
    are:   Vangelis, J.M.J, Kraft Werk
    (Haha).  All those Synthetics tune
    and   for   the   voices  sections
    Sandra,  Simply Red, Depeche Mode,
    nearly  all  music  which  doesn't
    sound  like  RAP!  (I'm not narrow
    minded as you see.)


MD: Haha...   Now  the  final question
    from the good old CoNtRoL...  Yes,
    you  are a quite good musician but
    are  you  also  able  to SING like
    Elvis,  hehehe?   (Are  you a REAL
    musician or not, harhar?)

SD: For  the  final, YES!  (Believe it
    or   not!),  I  won't  be  a  real
    musician until I own a Synth.
      

MD: Yes,  finally you have reached the
    end  of  this hard questions!  You
    are  now  able  to greet your best
    friends  and  there  is  also some
    space  for a few messages !!!  Use
    your chance pal, hehe...

SD: YOHAW!   Shiny rays fly out to the
    DREAMDEALERS  (hey  of  course)...

    Friends sniff, ouuiiin, ARgg...
