Read the Le Dusko Interview below and share it on social media.
Please tell our readers who you are and what you do?
I'm Le Dusko, a young music producer from the "french riviera" (south of France). I'm not a musician, because I don't know how to play instruments and I don't know what type of music I'm doing. I'm inspired by Nu Disco sounds, funk, … that I try to mix to a powerful house vibe. I started creating music when I was in High School so maybe 2010/2011. And mixing when I come to university.
How would you describe your influences and how have they changed over the years?
My influences come in the beginning by the french label "Ed Banger" with Justice, Breakbot, Mr. Oizo, Busy P, SebastiAn, etc …
After listening to those artists make me discover Roche Musique, and mostly the track "Pantera" by Kartell. It was a revelation, he've done a track using an older one. Like that I discover the art of sampling. Next Nu Disco, to a lot of kind of house music…
I've started to create an account on soundcloud to follow "A-Trak" (for me the best Dj in the world) and is "Fool's Gold Radio Show". Every months it was new scratch techniques, new sounds, a pure pleasure to listen (today too!).
With soundcloud I discover that people like me, liking those kind of music was creating too. So I started learn on youtube with countless tutorials. The fist things that I've created was really horrible. Then one day, with more tutorials watched I sampled Baby Be Mine by Michael Jackson, and I was really proud of this one so I put it on soundcloud, and now I continue doing this since 6 years.
To continue with influences over the time I've discover some new stuff, like future house (to say just one: tchami). Other "unidentified" styles like Disclosure who's a big inspiration now for the upcoming tracks. To finish I don't know if it's inspiring me but I'm listening more and more to rap music, maybe I'll try to make some in the future!

What´s new right now?
I have a secret project in preparation, who's gonna be out in 2018. The only thing that I can say it's that it's gonna be really cool!
I'm preparing the Le Dusko Tape #2 for youtube with new stuff. It will be more creative than the first one, more like a live music show.
