In the beginning, we only had turntables, a computer and some vinyls, so our first records were made exclusively with samples.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Describe where you live in ten words or less.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>South, France, Marseille, Sea, Sun.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What is your favorite place to lunch when you have 10\u20ac in your pocket?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A pizza bought in a pizza truck close to my place.
