INTERVIEW: Martin Solveig says ‘Hello’ ahead of Dubai gig

What’s your favourite club/restaurant in Dubai?
I think Zero Gravity is both a club and a restaurant, but also and bar and beach/pool? Well all that sounds pretty great!

You’ve worked with some pretty big names, who was the most exciting and why? 
Madonna. She’s such a true and iconic artist. Working with her was inspiring, and she taught me a lot too. It was an incredible experience.

You’re famous for your quirky videos. Can you tell us what made you dream up the concept for “+1”?  
Well the song is really fun, pop and a little bit crazy so I wanted the music video to match all that. I didn’t really want it to have a scenario or to follow a story – just a lot of crazy, fresh, pop scenes following each other. The colours, the fun ideas, they are all really important to me and it was a pleasure to have the opportunity to create all that.

You’re constantly travelling. What’s your tip for beating jet lag? 
I wish I had one… Being really excited about the next gig helps though 😉

What can the Dubai crowd expect from you this time around? 
As usual, I’d say a really fresh, pop, fun, exciting show. Plus, new music is around the corner, as well as the second season of my Pacha Ibiza Residency, so Dubai can definitely expect to hear stuff that hasn’t been showcased yet this Thursday at Zero Gravity.
