Knowing Dice will be a great judge of quality for his plugins, I ask what he’s been using on his tracks recently. I have some badasses on these songs! It’s not going to be the ‘club’ Loco Dice, it’s going to be the ‘producer’ Loco Dice.” "So this new music is going to be my first EP on the label - I have four releases in the pocket, with some surprise and secret features.

They’re doing these tests with the antibodies, and only the very rich and privileged will be able to get those! It’s like a science fiction, maybe there will be ‘antibodies-only’ parties soon! Like the movie Blade, where people had tattoos to show if they were a vampire - this is giving me a great idea for a track right now!”Īfter that wonderful glimpse into Dice’s mind, we get chatting about the second record label he has set up, “En Coleur, which will be a platform for my music only. “Until everyone gets a vaccination, that would be the time when public parties and gatherings are allowed again. “According to my calculations, things will be back up and running around January next year,” he says.

I’m trying to avoid all the memes, the news, and talking about it too much. "But I grew up with no money, so it’s not a new thing for me. That’s what it is – I’m surviving somehow, I’m a warrior! But he confesses that “it’s a disaster, bro! Everything is cancelled. ![]() Loco Dice classes himself as an entertainer, so he is choosing to not add to the fear and panic of the Coronavirus pandemic by removing the word from his vocabulary when posting online.
