  • Great job

    Really enjoy listening to “The Duke” speak your some incredible artists and love how he pulls information from them without being to pushy. Also enjoyed having him on my podcast “The Ins And Outs”

Taylor Yudat On The Club Dance From Paris: Electro (Not Tektonik)
Q: What are the current resources for someone outside Paris to learn electro?
There are two main Paris-based schools (Capsule and La Planque) plus opportunities to learn online via tutorials on Instagram and a fresh documentary on Arte called Robon, which helps people understand the movement and culture.
Taylor Yudat On The Club Dance From Paris: Electro (Not Tektonik)
Q: When did you start electro dance and how did you come to join the culture?
I started in 2007 due to the Tectonic movement in Paris, learned from club-based and street experiences, and connected with Yudat later which propelled me into hip hop and electro culture.
Jean-Michel Cruel (Diablo) on Cercle Underground, Les Twins, & Red Bull Dance Your Style World Final
Q: What role does Red Bull play in his career aside from competition?
Red Bull is a partner that supports professional growth, providing opportunities and resources, while allowing him to stay true to his artistic identity rather than shaping him purely as a battle athlete.
Jean-Michel Cruel (Diablo) on Cercle Underground, Les Twins, & Red Bull Dance Your Style World Final
Q: How does he view the balance between winning battles and artistic growth?
He emphasizes that while battles are important, the core goal is artistic development and authentic self-expression, with success being a byproduct of growth rather than the primary objective.
Jean-Michel Cruel (Diablo) on Cercle Underground, Les Twins, & Red Bull Dance Your Style World Final
Q: What prompted the name change from Diablo to Jean-Michel Cruel?
He frames it as a personal evolution, describing a desire to shed a character he outgrew and to be seen as who he is becoming rather than who he used to be.
