I just recently had the opp to send over a few questions to the Don, who's on his
Endless Party Tour right now. He sent back his answers in between gigs, and left me with an interview for you guys. After you check out the Q&As, make sure to download ravelovin' awesome remix he DJ'd up recently of the
Young MC track "Bust A Move." So here it is, in all its glory - the first interview of '09 with DJ
Don Rimini!

Honestly, there is so many… If there is one to keep… hum… Not necessarily the biggest. Probably "Nu-Rockers-Party" in Brussels - Belgium last year. It was my birthday. All my pals from Paris came to party. The club was full of hysterical kids. The dj booth was inside a cage. Mad max style… The club kids climbed on top of the cage then jumped on the crowd in awesome stage diving… incredible!!! Insane clubkids, hot chicks, wicked sound system… Everything for a perfect party…

Too many exciting projects:
Two new tracks: for a discobelle compilation and for a fluokids compilation too.
Also two remixes for Dada Life and for Designer Drugs.
And, of course, touring again and again, with stops at Miami WMC and SXSW. I will tour across North America, Australia, France, Portugal, Spain, Netherlands, Belgium, UK, Italy, Switzerland and Sweden. Then, when I’ll come back home, I’ll focus on my next EP, which should be released this summer…Anyway I’ll try. Stay tuned.
And have fun, push people to get crazy as me, keep enjoying touring, meet peoples, kids, make the best music as possible, try to step it up…
YOUNG MCBUST A MOVE (DON RIMINI RAVEKID REMIX)
Taking a butchering knife and ripping it through a Michael Jackson vinyl as it's playing - that's Dada Life. Watching TV static for three hours straight with a smile on your face - that's Dada Life. Nobody could embed the amount of serene yet murderously good funk that inhabits and is, in its own, Dada Life.
