Sven Love
was born in Paris of Danish ancestry, and is one of France’s
advocates of garage, the singing variation of house, derived from
soul, gospel and disco, which was one of the major trends of
electronic music in the 90s. As a DJ and organizer of Cheers parties
with his collaborator Greg Gauthier, Sven is one of the pioneers of
the rave generation and of the French Touch, back when few were
acquainted with it. He mentions those years as a “paradise lost,”
“a whirlwind,” and has recently scripted the mainly
autobiographical film Eden,
which his sister, filmmaker Mia Hansen-Løve, directed.
