Biografía
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.

I'm sorry Cedric, but that sucked.
Dave Sol, opened a little weak. And his last track with no lights so your light DJ could sync up (or something) that was a bummer for the crowd. And your fade out on Dave's last track, looping and accelerating... worst transition ever. Then when you started, too strong buddy! The crowd needed that but, people weren't warmed up too well. You had a set. Big No No Cedric. Your song selections on that set; oldies, "This is the rhythm of the night" come ooon! The drop was heavy which was a got beat, but then you followed it or the precious song was also an oldie. ...you lost me.
Your mix to "How deep is your love" terrible!
On another note, Ultra's set was better. mainly becuase you played songs which betas lasted longer rather than repetative drop, breakdown, and build up. But just a little longer than last night.
My recommendation, stay as a producer.
Take this as a good note. I am not reviewing as a hater. I am a fan of yours. 6 years ago I was your opening DJ for a WMC party which then you did not show up. (Or maybe I was lied to). I never figured that out. But if you ever need someone to setup your DJ equipment with proffesional cabling volume control, help you bounce tracks or accomodate playlists, and/or give you daily feedbacks; Here's my email.

PS. While you were away from the DJ booth for a moment, there was this douche who came up and just messed around with the filter. He was worst than the entire series of Jersey Shore. He even put on headphones for no reason... He was terrible enough to make you look somewhat good.
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.
At the age of 35, French progressive house DJ and producer Cedric Gervais appears to have a far more mature, knowledgable approach to music and live performance than some of the younger contemporaries currently appearing on the circuit. He has a live show that many look towards for inspiration and influence due to the considered, carefully designed way in which he merges his music and the visual elements of the show in order to create an ethereal dance environment.
With two debut albums, a string of hit singles and remixes for the likes of Florence + the Machine and Katy Perry the crowds know they are in for one fantastic dance party. Cedric delivers in every sense of the word as he has the crowd jumping from the offset to the infectious beats of 'Leave Me Alone' and 'Molly'. There is a brilliant merging of his two Lana Del Rey remixes, 'Summertime Sadness' and 'Young & Beautiful' that has the whole crowd with their hands raised high surrendering to the expert musician. He has an unmatched attainment of dance, progressive and electro house and appears to only be getting stronger with each performance.
Hailing from the beautiful south France city, Marseille, Cedric Gervais is one of the artists behind bringing house to the mainstream with the huge sound that he creates. He has been working hard at his craft over the last fifteen years almost. From the start to the finish of this set, he has everyone dancing and jumping along, with huge smiles on their faces lapping up the atmosphere that is orchestrated by this French Grammy Award winning Producer and DJ. His version of Lana Del Rey’s “Summertime Sadness” fills this air with euphoric vibes, making every single patron dance the best that they can. He also brings in the huge album track from Miley Cyrus entitled “Adore You”, that pushes the boundaries of his music significantly, almost making this pop hit his own. Gervais is an international DJ and an artiste in his own right. It is no surprise from this stellar live performance as to why or how he’s made it as far as he has.
