0% d’IMPÔTS ! DUBAI vs ESTONIE, quel PAYS CHOISIR ? EXPATRIATION – Avec Thami KABBAJ Dubaï ou Estonie ? C’est ce qu’on va voir en détail dans cette vidéo. Donc je suis avec Thami Kabbaj. Yes! Comment vas-tu ? Moi ça me fait super plaisir de passer avec toi, mais on va… eh, déjà c’est Dubaï, c’est pas Estonie qu’on va voir, yes ! On va voir le battle et c’est vous qui allez décider. Ça va être chaud, ça va être chaud ! Bon… Donc du coup on a mal rigolé hier avec Thami. Et je me suis dit, voilà, ce serait bien de faire un petit récapitulatif, comme ça, ça va vous permettre de savoir, en fonction de tous les détails que je vais évoquer : est-ce que vous, c’est plutôt Dubaï ou Estonie que vous aimeriez vis-à-vis d’une expatriation ? Donc juste avant, cliquez sur le bouton S’abonner pour rejoindre plusieurs dizaines de milliers d’entrepreneurs à succès abonnés à ma chaîne YouTube. Alors, juste pour les personnes qui ne te connaissent pas, Thami… Bien sûr, puisqu’il y en a, oui. Présente-toi rapidement et dis-nous tout. Alors, vraiment en quelques lignes parce que sinon, ça va prendre des heures. Mais rapidement, je m’appelle Thami Kabbaj. Alors, je suis l’auteur de sept bouquins. Mon dernier bouquin est d’ailleurs sorti au mois de mars, il cartonne, on a déjà 520 commentaires sur Amazon. C’est Agir, A-G-I-R. Et en fait, voilà, auparavant j’avais une carrière de trader, j’ai enseigné à l’université, je suis agrégé d’économie. Mais surtout surtout aujourd’hui, j’ai une école qui me passionne, orientée sur la liberté financière, mais également sur les marchés financiers, et je kiffe ce que je fais. J’ai également une chaîne YouTube, Thami Kabbaj, voilà, allez-y, vous verrez, c’est génial. Et dernier point, je kiffe Maxence, son énergie. Moi je suis un mec direct, donc si un mec… non, c’est vrai. Si un mec ne me plaît pas ou si… voilà, si l’énergie elle est négative, je vais pas très loin. Mais vraiment je ne connaissais pas Maxence, on ne s’était jamais vu, mais… On s’est rencontrés pour la première fois là au congrès des infopreneurs à Berlin. Voilà. Et on se connait par le biais de YouTube. Tu as vu mes vidéos, j’ai vu tes vidéos. Mais voilà, j’aime beaucoup ton travail. Et puis voilà, j’aime également ton énergie, et je tenais à le dire. Merci et plaisir partagé. Même s’il va y avoir du fight, commence, voilà, je suis un gentleman, vas-y, à toi de jouer. Alors, première chose. Souvent dans les expatriations, il faut regarder la création d’une société, et là l’Estonie c’est un truc de dingue, c’est paiement de 190 € une fois et, voilà, la société elle est multifonction. Vous pouvez aussi bien investir dans l’immobilier, bourse, business internet, cryptomonnaie, bref, le all inclusive. Excellent, ouais. Vis-à-vis de Dubaï… parce que souvent on me pose la question également. Bien sûr. C’est à peu près combien, création de la société avec tous les différents documents ? Quelle est la fourchette ? Ça m’a coûté beaucoup… écoute, franchement ça m’a coûté beaucoup plus cher, mais c’est du 5-10 000 € minimum. Entre 5 et 10 k. Oui, 10 k. Et si tu as besoin d’avoir des locaux, par exemple moi j’ai besoin d’avoir des locaux, donc tu dois les louer, ou alors tu dois les acheter. Par exemple, moi j’ai acheté mon bureau et donc ça peut te coûter assez cher. Par exemple, ma première année à Dubaï j’ai frôlé les 100 k. 100 k ? Donc ma première année, c’était… ouais ouais ouais ! What? C’était en 2014. Maintenant, encore une fois, je pense qu’il faut parler de ça, mais il faut parler également de pourquoi j’y suis allé. Et pour moi, encore une fois, c’était une question de climat, d’ambiance, de dynamique. Et c’est vrai que moi j’ai habité à Paris pendant pas mal d’années. J’ai frôlé la mort en 2010 pour ceux qui ne le savent pas. Donc je suis tombé sur le crâne, burnout et compagnie. Et là, voilà, ça a été pour moi effectivement un déclic. Et je ne voulais plus habiter à Paris. Pour moi, la grisaille… Donc j’ai été à Dubaï parce que… et pour...

Deep Sessions VIII (Where America meets Europe)   Foreword on the art: I found this little gem whilst looking for the better album cover for the set. This place in Iceland called Þingvellir is on the plate boundary of the tectonic plates of America and Europe. Both plates drifting apart leaving behind cracks in the surface, which are sometimes filled by water. From the inner geek in me, it was like sweet chocolate..   To see the pic in its entire beauty: https://www.flickr.com/photos/lichtmaedel/8528196516/   Deep Sessions VIII: where New York and Chicago meet Manchester and Berlin. Where left-brain meets right-brain. Where Grooves meets Technique. Where inner pain meets self sehnsucht.   Back again, just when I thought I would give Deep a rest for the sake of the genre and my followers sanity !!J   I was playing around with current tunes, trying to work out how to structure, build and put together a decent Deep House set. I was looking at what worked and what didn’t in the previous seven attempts. The thought occurred to me that I’d rather focus on why I love Deep, what brought me to the genre and why I always end up wanting and a tad frustrated with my results when tackling Deep.   Now let’s delve into a LONG digression into my personal Journey into House, which will bring light to the whole Deep Sessions project:   Deep House is intrinsically an American, East Coast, Detroit and Chicago sub-genre. At its best, it has distinct African-American roots. No one does it better.. There is an inherent sadness, groove, pain in the original Deep House tunes, which I am absolutely convinced could not have been found on the West coast nor dreamed up through a white male/female experience.   Just as Blues (which I love as well) is well documented to have started with African-American slave songs but was later embraced by non-ethnic artists, Deep House just had to stem from “deep within” the African soul... But unlike Blues Deep has groove and funk..   Deep is my House first love. But House is definitively not where my musical journey started… As a teenager, I went from Progressive Rock to Electronica. Eventually I dipped into Techno, only to veer towards Balearic Trance. It is when I was still listening to Techno and Trance that I discovered Deep, with tracks that where at the congruence of deep and techno.   If memory serves me right, it is whilst listening to Laurent Garnier and the whole techno Manchester crew that I first encountered House. Deep Tech House..   First US track I can recall listening to and eventually buying was Elements from Danny Tenaglia and some MK track I can’t recall.. Very far away from the soulful house I now love but very much in the vein of Techno..   With an immature hate of disco, I could never have found at the time any interest in funky or soulful house. But through Techno, Deep was the conduct I needed to finally encounter, discover African music and rhythm.  Spoon-fed with classical and pop music, House could never have been my first love.   From US Deep House, I started becoming interested in what was produced in Europe.. With the Global Underground label, some Perfecto tunes, Sasha, German Djs, Armand etc.. It all started to make sense!   In Deep House, I could find a musical, emotional space, which would encompass both the electronica I had loved and the American House sound I was discovering.   It was at around that time that I discovered C&M Productions and Truehouse. With their help, I never looked back.. They introduced me to the fifty shade of Deep, chill-house, soulful house and , god forbid for the disco hater I was, funky house! With them, the journey continued into progressive house and today we are all embarking into the nu-disco indie house journey.   What C&M Productions and truehouse did was to bring all the pieces together. Bring the European electronica I had loved in my younger years with the US and African-American music I had originally missed but was by then hooked on..   Bless Christian Kistler and Marc Zehnder from C&M.   C&M Productions’ Internet resources: https://soundcloud.com/truehouse http://www.truehouse.net https://www.facebook.com/groups/35964829231/ http://www.discogs.com/artist/18825-C-M-Productions http://www.truehouse.ch/social-media.html#.VTyEW-n25lE.twitter   End of the VERY LONG digression, which should frame the whys and whats of this upload.   It was when I reflected on all of the above that I understood that to build a Deep House set I would like, which felt natural and flowed, I would have to bring all those musical influences together.. Be true to what I love and feel.. Can’t just be US Deep, for its not my original journey, nor my true experience, can’t be just European Deep, Progressive House, for it would rob me of those US influences and rhythms I have learned to yearn for.. I have to “mix” the two..   Loop done! Hence the title of the Set “Where America meets Europe”..     Deep House Sessions VIII: a true deep, slightly sexy and techie episode. Sometimes progressive set, sometimes just Deep with both a feel of European Electronica and a sprinkling of East Coast groove.   Playlist:   2012 Can You Feel It (Original Mix). 11 inch & Jesse Lee Davis 2014 Wondrous Place (Pete Oak Remake).

Juliet Fox, Reno Ka 2014 Deep In My Soul (Original Mix). 16 Bit Lolitas   Highlights:   “Can You Feel It”: A classic deep house tune to headline the set produced in Germany whereas I would have lost a bet thinking this, without a doubt, was an American production. I know that some will not like the overly sexy, macho tone but Deep can be sexy and this track surely is. Chosen because of the lyrics and the fact that its melodic line is basically three faint chords, all supported by beats and a bassline.. The rap-like chorus at the end is pure serendipity.. I needed to catch up with the next tune, which was 6 bpm higher and it just happened!   “Wondrous Place” is a stylish remake from Danish producer Pete Oak, perfect to introduce the haunting dimension of European deep production. An very introspective track with truly amazing vocals from Nathalie Mc Cool. Do not miss this track! Chosen for its atmosphere and its layering, listen how with every break, Pete is adding a percussion, which draws you into the song and the melody. Masterful.   Pete Oak’s and Nathalie McCool Internet resources: https://soundcloud.com/pete-oak https://www.facebook.com/PeteOakMusic http://www.nataliemccool.co.uk/   “The Melody” from Deep House legend and Salted Music label honcho Miguel Migs from San Francisco. Miguel began his career as a guitarist in an Jamaican/African band and went on to become one of the founders of American deep chill house. We all have bought Salted Music CDs, a label known for the absolute perfection of its release. I chose the track because it does force us to “feel the Melody”, not obvious at first but as layers are added throughout, you get the feel. As a listener, you are asked to be active, not passive to get the groove. The basic deep house five chords are also right in my sweet spot.   Following with “Falling” by the same Miguel Migs. Introducing a more challenging track with syncopated beats but very much connected to the previous one. Variations of the same build yet a totally different tune. And as you progress through the tune, you feel the subtle funk/disco keys coming up in the background.   Miguel Migs’ Internet resources:  https://soundcloud.com/miguelmigs1 http://miguelmigs.com https://www.facebook.com/DJMiguelMigs     “Come Together” from Chicago born DJ Pierre, who started in the Acid House sound before fully committing to Deep House. We are now in underground Deep House, a space where beats and tweak sounds rule. Make no mistake EVERYTHING here has been created by the producer, no sample sounds used. The bass, the beats, the hihats, everything is original. Where deep meets techno.. I almost did not include this track, as I know some will find it a bit too raw and challenging but Deep House needs a challenge or two throughout the journey. It can’t be all-smooth, no-edge for it would end up as pure background music. Beyond the tech house feel, I also chose the tune for its message.. “People come together, feel the music, listen to the sound of the underground and make it happen”.   DJ Pierre Internet resources (?): https://soundcloud.com/djpierreafroacid https://www.facebook.com/DJPIERREACIDHOUSE   “Off The Cuff “ from Phasen & Refurb, Florida based producers. I love Karol XVII & MB Valence, 2 polish producers. I have been buying without hesitation all of their releases for a long time. They belong in my top five deep house producers. I chose the track for its distinctive European feel, with immaculate production. Listen to the simple bass beat, the subtle high pitch keys and that deep groove synth coming along and bring the melody together. But wait… after the main break, something that is unmistakably techno. Deep House at its very best! Again DO NOT MISS this track! I could have left the tune as it was, a semi instrumental tune but I felt that on the one hand I might lose some listeners in the techno parts and on the other you know me by now enough to expect some vocal samples… Besides, for once, I think I delivered.   Phase, Refurb and Karol XVII & MB Valence Internet resources: https://soundcloud.com/phasen https://www.facebook.com/pages/Phasen/65046003082 https://soundcloud.com/refurb https://www.facebook.com/refurbedhuman https://soundcloud.com/karolxviimbvalence https://www.facebook.com/KarolXVIIandMBValence   “Rendezvous“ from Spiritchaser duo Mark Bamford & Richard Earnshaw.. UK based Richard Earnshaw would be my favourite living producer. His label, Duffnote, releases pearl after pearl. From Soulful to Deep, what Richard does with his Spiritchaser mate is always perfection   I chose “Rendezvous” because it epitomizes everything I love about Deep House: the groove, the undergroove driven by bassline and keys, the production, the dream-like journey and if you listen carefully, there is even a bit of tech house somewhere in the drops. I added the vocals and I hope I did not denature the fantastic track it already was.. DO NOT MISS this track!   Spiritchaser and Richard Earnshaw Internet resources: https://soundcloud.com/spiritchaser-1 https://www.facebook.com/SpiritchaserOnline http://www.spiritchaser-online.com https://soundcloud.com/earnshawmusic https://www.facebook.com/earnshawmusic http://soundcloud.com/duffnote     Onto “Without You” from Lane 8 from Leipzig, Germany. Another standout track, close to be my favourite of the set. Listen how the track is driven by the little percussions, the producer added after each 16 bars. Pure genius, deep and soulful with a bit of subtle hip hop in the background 3/4 down the track.. I cannot even start to formalize how this groove touches me! A masterpiece of simplicity and feel.   Lane 8 Internet resources: https://soundcloud.com/lane8music https://www.facebook.com/lane8music?_rdr   “The Warning” from Logic.. Originally released in 1990, this cut is a 2015 edit. I could not find much about Eddie Satin and Wayne Gardiner. I just know that Wayne G was one of the original producer of Strictly Rhythm and I believe he is from the US..   I did hesitate to include the track in my final mix. Though I have used the vocal sample countless of times and love the original, this cut was a bit long and went into a jazzy groove with that high pitched sax I have real trouble tolerating. I chopped the remix, doubled the vocal sample and made a user-friendly radio edit.. I am not proud of it considering the tune is one of the pillars of Deep, Tech house but it allowed me to fit the set in the 80 minutes CD format..   “Jus Dance” from Mr. V. Where do I start? You all know I am a slut for Mr V. He could speak up the phone book and I would love it. In fact I think he should adlib the white pages, I would buy it…   Mr. V (aka Viktor Font) grew up (where else could he be from?) NYC..  He dabbled in all genres of music, met Louie Vega and the rest is house music history.. His label “Sole Channel Music” is a stalwart of American house and a synonym of quality. His groove is without equivalent, his voice perfect for Deep House adlib and he brings that oh-so-needed hip-hop swag to House music..   “Jus’ Dance” was originally released in 2004. It is one of my favourite NYC house track and will remain so because it has funk, groove, street cred and is an utterly sexy tune. I chose the 2015 release by Swiss remixer Dario D’Attis, a regular on Jaimie Lewis’ Purple Music label, for its absolute perfection in production (please listen on some good headphones) and its distinct tech house feel. If you think Deep House is not sexy or that one cannot dance to Deep.. Think again and listen to this very tune again.. This is the very track where America meets Europe.. Jus’ DANCE!!   M. V and Dario D’Attis Internet resources: https://www.facebook.com/SOLEchannel https://soundcloud.com/solechannelmusic https://soundcloud.com/dario-dattis-1   “Be Free “ by Nikos Diamantopoulos, top Greek producer from Athens and someone I have recently bought a lot of tunes from. I discovered Nikos through DJ Jask from Thai Soul Music, which is an assurance for talented remixers. I chose the track because at this time in the set, after a few challenging tracks and Xtian’s edits, I thought it was time to throw some sugar around and make sure you would stay with me..   I tried to mash two remixes and bring their choruses together like in a church canon.. Not sure I fully achieved my goal but it sort of works and some talented DJ can bring my idea to full glory. The track itself is deep bordering on funk with in the back an amazing slide funky guitar line.. Deep and Funky, this one will make you want to dance..   Nikos Diamantopoulos’ Internet resources: https://soundcloud.com/nikosdiamantopoulos   After the sugar comes the spice! “Feel The Fire” by Eli and Fur, two female songwriters and producers from London, UK. With 16B Lolitas, Billion, AM2PM, the UK is home of very interesting artists in the Progressive House, deep genre. Another close favourite track of the set for its cheeky melody, outstanding production and tech prog house feel. In love those girls, check their page! DO NOT MISS !!!   Eli and Fur Internet resources: https://soundcloud.com/eliandfur https://www.facebook.com/eliandfurdjs?_rdr   Continuing in the deep and progressive vibe, “Ever Wanted” by Reno K and Juliet Fox. Juliet is originally from South Australia, both DJ and producer, she teamed up with Reno Ka from London to produce this little dark progressive number..   Juliet Fox and Reno Ka Internet resources: https://soundcloud.com/djjulietfox https://soundcloud.com/renoka   To close the set, one of the best track of 2014: “Deep in my Soul” from 16 Bit Lolitas. Ariaan Olieroock and Peter Kriek are two producers from the Netherlands. I have bought countless tracks from them. Stalwarts of the Anjuna Deep label, they represents what Europe does best in the deep Progressive genre. I chose the track as its title was fitting to close the set and because its production is flawless. If anyone wants to lean how to build a track, I suggest you study this one day in day out..   16 Bit Lolitas Internet resources: https://soundcloud.com/16bitlolitas https://www.facebook.com/16bitlolitas?_rdr https://www.facebook.com/16bitlolitas       And...we are done!!! Hope you like the set!   Sorry for the War and Peace blog.. but I do like this set and felt I needed the space..   Next one will be most probably soulful and beach house..   A bientôt!   Xtian
