NTO Q&A

The Live Journey of NTO

/in /by

The story behind NTO started with a match made in heaven, a kid from the South of France always hooked to his guitar, and electronic and dance music. After going to the Sziget Festival when he was 18, NTO started to hang out regularly at La Villa Rouge, and Bar Live, two legendary clubs in the South of France. At the time, German minimal techno music was booming and Anthony Favier would spend his nights listening to Stephan Bodzin, James Holden, or the very beginnings of Paul Kalkbrenner: “My biggest music crush of all time”.  The evocative power of music, strong kicks and the unifying atmosphere of dancefloors: this is the triple focus that inspired him to create and produce music without going through the usually mandatory DJ phase. NTO would spend nights eyes set on his computer, trying to replicate songs he heard the nights before in clubs, the exact same way he would cover “Hotel California” when he was younger, or play Syd Barrett’s psychedelic chords.
