During his teenage years, Gervais became the headline resident of Paris’ Le Queen Club (FRA), before moving to South Beach Miami (US) and performing at the forefront of Club Space Terrace. In 2009, the internationally-celebrated DJ and producer released the single ‘Mauri’s Dream’, which was Pete Tong’s Essential Tune of the Week for three consecutive weeks. The single ‘Molly’ reached number one in the Buzz and Cool Cuts Charts in 2012, whilst gaining over six million hits on YouTube, and featured in Michael Bay’s 2013 movie Pain & Gain.
In 2014, Gervais won the ‘Best Remixed Recording’ accolade at the 56th Grammy Awards, and was nominated for producing the ‘EDM Song Of The Year’ at the iHeartRadio Music Awards, for the single ‘Summertime Sadness (Remix)’. The energetic single topped the UK Dance Chart, and peaked in the top 10 of the Australian, Canadian and US charts, gaining Gervais mainstream recognition, whilst also topping the Beatport charts for two weeks.
Gervais may be compared to the likes of Fedde Le Grand, Nicky Romero and Hardwell, whilst he has also performed at prestigious settings such as Ultra Music Festival (US), EDC Las Vegas (US) and Space (ESP). He is commended for his charitable work, having worked with EDM lifestyle brand Electric Family to produce a collaboration bracelet for which all of the proceeds are donated to Miami Children’s Health. Gervais also runs his own radio show - Miamication - which broadcasts weekly on SiriusXM, and signed to Interscope Records in October 2014.
With the unequivocal success of 2013’s remix of Summertime Sadness, Cedric Gervais has a name to live up to.
But even though he has been lacking in some single releases Cedric Gervais’ live performance is not lacking in some energy and provisionally cut beats, almost as clean cut as a local butchers prime steak.
Most live performances offering heaps of strobe lighting, low trebles and high bass the set has a sense of vibrancy about it that the audience do feed off from.
As great as the live set is, musically speaking, his beats are not too dissimilar from other EDM artists, but the occasion of seeing him play live overpowers any form of scepticism towards his originality.
What is particularly enjoyable about his live performance is the kind of old school way of getting the crowd involved, the effortless clapping of his hands, jumping up and down and generally dancing along with the crowd shows the guy clearly still has some modesty about himself as well as his live performance.
Generally speaking, his stage set up always seems to be more interesting than peculiar at every different festival, whether it’s the chrome set up he had at The Ultra Music Festival or the Jungle looking stage he had at EDC in Las Vegas, visually there is something worth looking at.
