Dear friends,
I'm speechless when it comes to reading all those posts. I never expected so much support from you all. I barely know most people signing this petition, and from the bottom of my heart, I want to thank everyone for doing so.
John, I never expected someone like you would take the time and the risk to post a petition about me. Thanks for reminding me I am part of a respectful and friendly community that knows rules and boundaries.
I took the two last days to think about the situation.
Lemme just remind you some facts.
All artists putting out music expect to sell records. It's not all about money, it's much more about sharing the love we all have for music, whatever it is. For some reason, many people in our community tend to think sharing mp3's is cool. Of course it's really cool to be able to hear new tracks without having to pay for them, at least when you go out afterwards to buy all the records you like, and when you erase all the pieces of music you haven't bought. It's a karma thing. But in those times, it seems people don't even take the time to think like that. They can't see how much money producers like me spend a year for equipment, recording surfaces, extra software, etc... It's a shame.
Everything I got from music got entirely invested in music: records, recording equipment, etc... If making music was just a way to me to buy expensive and luxe things (cars etc...), then I wouldn't stress about quality in my music. And you know all it's not the case.
I care so much about it, that's why I considered quitting the business, and making music only for myself, as I think there is everyday less place for quality music in our world.
The second reason is just the sequel to the first one. The loss of my second family, bonzai, put me in a pretty bad shape. I couldn't believe there was a future for the kind of music we all were trying to defend through the labels.
So, my conclusion is, as long as I can do something to it, I will try to help music getting out of this situation.
Music gave me so much, and you all gave me so much too, during the last 7 years. I can't give up now.
It's not about money. It's all about the things every single producer/dj is fighting for. Quality, atmosphere in clubs, and a good community, based on a good vibe, that respects legitimate rules.
I will keep you informed regarding what will happen in the next few days. I hope I can bring you good news.
At least there's one thing I will keep on fighting for, that is music made with heart. Many people in the business deserve their fame because they put their entire hearts in it, I think about people like john, and also about my actual heroes (won't mention them again, just read my interviews on several websites). I hope I can put as much as they do in the future works of mine.
I hope this doesn't read too complicated to you all. I will keep you all informed about the future.
I have to thank everyone on this board again for their support through the years, and for the kind words I've read here.
Talk to you soon
Lolo

We know this, we had the follow on from Laurent already posted in news
Whereas some sites decided not to post on these, We thought that since the reprocussions could be immense, that people deserved to know about them, and not leave them in the dark at the time, also why they were only rumoured
