Swiss-born, Vancouver-dwelling Cyril Hahn—known for his eerie, pitched-down distortions of pop divas like Mariah Carey and Destiny’s Child—recently wrapped up a short European tour, taking the stage at Dublin’s Electric Picnic before hopping over to England’s Bestival. We asked the R&B remix god, who’s signed to Disclosure’s PMR label, to give us a peek of life on the road, from standing three inches away from Julio Bashmore’s face to staring down at thousands of adoring teenage girls. (No one said being a DJ is easy.) Rather than just yapping our ears off, he forwarded us a few snaps from his phone’s camera roll… captions included.
On my way to England’s Isle of Wight for Bestival. Yes, I’m on a motherfucking boat.
Going back-to-back with Sir Julio Bashmore.

A ship flying through the air at Bestival. Normal.
A DJ booth INSIDE a ship at Bestival… not normal.
