Life and career[edit]
Gervais was born in Marseille, Bouches-du-Rhône. He was a resident DJ at Paris's Le Queen club. In 1998, he moved to South Beach in Miami Beach. He was 19 years old when he left for Miami, and gained residencies at Crobar (now Cameo) and Nikki Beach, before taking over as DJ at the Club Space Terrace.[5] His first single, 'Burning', was released with Ultra Records through their sublabel You. In 2006, his debut album The Experiment, featured the single 'Spirit in My Life', also on Ultra Records.His production credits include working with Lenny Kravitz, Deep Dish, Steve Lawler, and Rachel Star.[6]
His single 'Mauri's Dream', from 2009, was Pete Tong's Essential Tune of the Week three weeks in a row.[7] In 2011, Gervais released his second album, titled Miamication.
Gervais also has had two record labels of his own, Sleaze (for digital releases) and Sleaze Industries (for physical releases). He operated the labels during the 2000s releasing progressive and tribal house music.
In April 2012 Gervais released the single 'Molly',[8] which was accompanied by a very racy music video.[9] The single was another Pete Tong Essential Tune of the Week and was the highest new dance entry in the official UK charts reaching no. 26,[10] whilst the video racked up over 2.5 million views on YouTube.[11] 'Molly' reached no. 1 in the Buzz and Cool Cuts charts,[12] and was day time play listed on Radio One and Sirius.[13] The track also caused controversy between Madonna and Deadmau5, when Madonna made comments about the track while on stage at Ultra music festival in Miami.[14]
In 2013 he produced a number of remixes: Lana Del Rey's 'Summertime Sadness', Willy Moon's 'Yeah Yeah', Katy Perry's 'Wide Awake' and Borgore's 'Decisions'.
The 'Summertime Sadness' remix reached number one on Beatport and remained there for two weeks in February.[15] The track was the No. 1 added track to US radio with 35 adds throughout summer 2013.[16] The remix was then added to BBC Radio 1's A-List, reaching number one in the UK Singles Chart,[17] making it his most successful single to date. The track reached number six on the American Billboard 100,[18] UK iTunes Chart to No. 2 and US iTunes Chart to No. 17. The remix was reviewed in MTV,[19] and The Daily Star.[20] The track also achieved 2x Platinum status in the US.[21] He won a Grammy Award for Best Remixed Recording, Non Classical for the song.[22]
Michael Bay's 2013 film Pain & Gain featured two of Gervais' tracks, including his hit 'Molly'.[23][better source needed][24] In November 2013, Gervais launched his weekly 'Miamication' Radio Show, which is to be broadcast every Saturday night on SiriusXM.[25] His most recent single, a remix of Miley Cyrus' 'Adore You' was released in May 2014 on Spinnin Records. There was also a free giveaway of the track 'Hashtag' as a thank you to his fans on Facebook.[citation needed]
In October 2014, Gervais signed to Interscope Records with its related label Polydor Records, in the following month Interscope released his new single 'Love Again' on 14 October.[26]
On 28 May 2018, producer Dstar of American disco house group Solidisco accused Gervais of plagiarising their 2013 remix of 'Take Your Time (Do It Right)' by The S.O.S. Band in a similarly titled single released by Gervais on 25 May 2018.[27][28] In an Instagram conversation between Gervais and Dstar, Gervais asserted that he had never listened to the remix prior to the incident and claimed that the song structures of the original and his remake were the same.[29] Gervais' management stated that the samples used in the remake were officially licensed, whereas Solidisco had produced an unofficial bootleg. In a statement released by Gervais, he wrote: 'I had never heard of this other version, which I'm being accused of plagiarizing, until after we had delivered my single', and mentioned that the bassline which he was accused of stealing was in reality the 'original bass line of the S.O.S record' which he had the legal rights to use.[29]
Film career[edit]
Gervais has appeared in a number of films. He appeared in the 2013 movie Pain & Gain directed by Michael Bay, which also featured two of Gervais' tracks 'Molly' and 'Ready or Not'.[30][23]

As the sun gets ready to shine down on another fabulous summer for dance music we've come across what will undoubtedly be one the seasons biggest anthems. Cedric Gervais has teamed with Howard Jones to create a brand new dance floor version of the pop icon's smash 'Things Can Only Get Better.' Whoa, whoa whoa whoa oh oh...it's a smash...built around Howard's instantly recognizable vocals and Cedric's progressive instrumental. Set for release in North America this spring/summer on 3Beat, Cedric and Howard have gone all in creating a video that celebrates the amazing 80's and one dude living in Miami during the days of Crockett & Tubbs. Living amidst the Rubik's Cube's, Critters on VHS,Delorean's and boom boxes this down on his luck guy steps foot into a garage that transport's him into the future...where things only get better. From his first residencies at famed clubs Gaio (St. Tropez) and Queen (Paris) when he was just 14 and 15 years old, respectively, to taking over the Miami club scene, Cedric Gervais is one of the most in demand DJ/producers in the world today. His first big break came in the form of 'Spirit of my Life' in 2006; Pete Tong made it an Essential New Tune on his BBC Radio 1 show. Cedric followed with a string of high profile remixes for the likes of Dubfire and more 'Essential New Tunes' followed -- namely in the form of 2009's 'Mauri's Dream' and 2012's 'Molly' which became the soundtrack to 2012 WMC. Pete Tong loved it so much he played it 5 times consecutively on air in making it his Essential New Tune. Cedric's current smash -- his remix of Lana Del Rey's 'Summertime Sadness' topped the Beatport for over 3 weeks while remaining in top ten for two months solid. Two of Cedric's most high profile club-residencies have been at Liv in Miami and XS & Surrender in Las Vegas. Both of which are now home to his very own SHITSHOW!!! Parties. These events started at Liv and have grown to become a next-level clubbing experience. The ethos is simple, the production and level of effort put into making these parties happen is anything but. Put simply, anything goes at the SHITSHOW!!! events, there is no judgment or rules, only crazy clothes, lights, décor and one of the most up-for-it crowds found in any club globally. Howard Jones first burst upon the contemporary music scene in 1983 and brought his very English song-writing and pioneering synthesizers to an unsuspecting world. His first two albums - Human's Lib and Dream Into Action lived in the higher reaches of the global album charts thanks to hits 'New Song,' 'What is Love?,' 'Pearl in the Shell,' 'Hide and Seek,' (which he performed at Live Aid in 1985), 'Like to Get to Know You Well,' 'Look Mama,' 'Things Can only Get Better,' 'Everlasting Love' and the quintessential 'No One Is To Blame,' which reached No.1 in the US. A classically trained pianist, Jones applied his technique to the early synths particularly the Roland Juno 60, the Jupiter 8 and the Moog Prodigy. He also pioneered the classic Roland 808 drum machine and the Sequential Pro-One. In the early days he was triggering sequencers live on stage whilst playing and singing, something that no one had done before. Howard still operates on the cutting edge of today's technology and has been one of the leading exponents of the Roland Fantom G8, the Roland V-piano and the Roland Jupiter 80. Many contemporary giants of the dance world have shown interest in working with Howard which has resulted in tracks such as 'Into the Dark' with Ferry Corstenand now 'Things Can Only Get Better' with Cedric Gervais. http://www.facebook.com/cedgerv http://www.3beat.co.uk http://www.twitter.com/3beatmusic http://www.facebook.com/3beatmusic http://www.youtube.com/user/3BeatProductions http://www.soundcloud.com/3beat
