Marseille producer Did Virgo has long been one of the city’s most distinctive voices, shaping a sound that blends nocturnal disco, left-field house and the cinematic tension that defines the port city after dark. His new single ‘Dream Alone,’ the landmark 20th release on Ravanelli Disco Club, distills that atmosphere into something hypnotic and emotionally charged – a track built on deep vocals, Detroit-leaning pulse and the introspective haze that runs through his work.

He stops by to discuss the influences that shaped the track, the role of Marseille’s landscape and nightlife in his music, the legacy of La Dame Noir, and what it means to hear his work reimagined by Black Spuma, JKriv, and Marc Brauner.

WWD: ‘Dream Alone’ feels hypnotic and emotional – what was the first moment or idea that sparked this track? 

While listening to an old Chicago track.

WWD: How did Mickey L’Ange’s voice shape the mood and direction of the song? 

I wanted a deep voice, so I manipulated her original voice to achieve this result.

WWD: You’ve described Marseille as having a cinematic romance after dark. How does that atmosphere live inside this track? 

I was influenced by Detroit music, and certain places in Marseille perpetuate that influence.

WWD: You’ve been a pillar of Marseille’s underground scene for years. What makes the city’s creative energy unique compared to other cultural hubs? 

I don’t know, every city has its own atmosphere.

WWD: How has the Mediterranean landscape – its light, its nightlife, its contradictions – shaped your sound? 

By simply living here.

WWD:La Dame Noir has become iconic in the city. How has that experience influenced your evolution as an artist? 

La Dame Noir has greatly influenced the music I mix and produce since her creation. I loved and followed the artistic direction that her creator, “Phred Noir,” wanted.

WWD: The remix lineup is stacked: Black Spuma, JKriv, and Marc Brauner. What made each of them the right fit for this release? 

Because the label boss and I love these artists.

WWD: Did you give the remixers any direction, or did you want them to interpret the track freely? 

We wanted them to interpret the track freely, obviously.

WWD: Hearing your work reimagined by such distinct artists – what surprised you the most? 

I’ve been remixed a lot, so I’m used to it, and I always enjoy listening to what the remixer has done by taking ownership of my work.

WWD: Your music blends nocturnal disco, leftfield house, and a certain cinematic tension. How did you arrive at this hybrid identity? 

It came about naturally, probably influenced by Detroit, Marseille, and La Dame Noir.

WWD: What role does intuition play in your production process? 

It plays an important role – if I don’t have it, I can’t create.

WWD: How has your sound evolved from your early days at La Dame Noir to this new chapter with Ravanelli Disco Club? 

Since my first tracks on Dame Noir, I’d say that today I’m putting in a bit more groove.

WWD: Ravanelli Disco Club has become a vital force in Marseille’s scene. What does the label represent to you personally? 

It’s a Marseille label – it represents a certain pride.

WWD: How does it feel to be the artist chosen for their landmark 20th release? 

I didn’t know that at first, but it’s pretty cool.

WWD: The label has hosted artists like Jimpster, JKriv, Prins Thomas, and Ray Mang. How do you see yourself within that lineage? 

These are artists I admire. My place is to listen to them and try to do as well as they do.

WWD: ‘Dream Alone’ carries a sense of longing and introspection. What emotional space were you in while creating it? 

Exactly in this state of nostalgia and introspection that ‘Dream Alone’ evokes.

WWD: Is there a particular moment in the track that feels especially meaningful to you? 

Yes, the lyrics.

WWD: What do you hope listeners feel when they hear this song for the first time? 

That they like it!!!

WWD:What direction do you see your sound taking after this release? 

I make music as I feel it at the moment, according to my inspiration.

WWD: Are there new collaborations, genres, or visual ideas you’re excited to explore next? 

I’m working on a track for La Dame Noir. It’s the label I’ve collaborated with the most and for which I have a special affection, so I’m excited for this release.

WWD: If you could capture the next chapter of Marseille’s nightlife in one track, what would it sound like? 

Music evolves a lot and fast, like Marseille – it’s difficult to answer.

WWD: Thanks for the chat!
