Le Bain: It seems every DJ in the 'new disco' scene knows you. What is your secret to being so popular?
Artur8: Well that's news to me, really! I just love to work with same-minded people all around the world ….
You've been in NYC for a few days. What's been fun so far?
Quality time with my NYC friends, for sure. I spent a lot of it just lounging around Brooklyn with my dear friend Darshan Jesrani (of Metro Area) and recently I had a fantastic evening walking around Harlem with my friend, the Bristol DJ Milo Johnson.

Does Warsaw rhyme with Disco?
When I first moved to Warsaw I was amazed by how open-minded people were about music styles, especially compared to what Berlin audiences were like back in the days. And then I never thought of disco as a separate genre, more like a journey between different styles, so for me it was always more about a strong musical personality than a specific sound. In terms of venues, the scene is changing pretty fast. I think now it's not so much about particular places, but promoters that often rent spaces virtually unknown to anybody for one-time parties. We really like using non-club venues like houses or lofts for our "KingOfKong"" Nights.
