Martin Solveig then moved to another famous Paris nightclub Les Bains Douches where he worked with famous DJs such as Todd Terry, Roger Sanchez and Bob Sinclar. His popularity further increased with the Pure parties at the Queen Club either as a DJ or as an art director.
He started producing at an early stage of his career. Through his own Mixture label, he released two 12-inch singles, "Heart of Africa" and "Come With Me". These singles combined dance music with musicians playing traditional instruments. Bob Sinclar then asked him to join the Africanism project combining African music and electronic music. He later released the "Edony" single which received airplay worldwide.
In 2002, he released the album Sur La Terre, which contains both "Heart of Africa" and "Edony". The album was released internationally through Universal Music. Another notable track on the album is "Linda" where he plays tribute to Fela Kuti and Serge Gainsbourg. The album was released in 2004 in the US. In 2003, he worked with Salif Keita on "Madan" which made the charts across Europe, notably France, Italy and Greece. "Rocking Music", which features a punk rock guitar riff (and also known for having Justin Timberlake style vocals), has also made the top 40 in Australia in February 2004. "Madan" and "Rocking Music" have both been featured in his second album, Suite. Following singles included "I'm A Good Man", and "Everybody".
Ready 2 Go
Martin Solveig Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I know I'm ready to go
I saw you waking up against the wall
And I knew you were ready to go
Tonight, I'm a different guy
Forget about the things you know
And if you wanna do it, we can do it right
Cause you're ready to go
Is that a yes or no
Cause I'm ready to go
I'm ready to go
If you say so
Tell me something, we're out of time
Show me that this is it
Don't change your mind (Go, go out, they sss, they sss, go out, out)
I turn it on, I set the tone
And I know I'm ready to go
Tonight, I'm a different guy
Forget about the things you know
And if you wanna do it, we can do it right
I can see you coming whole
Cause you're ready to go
Is that a yes or no
Cause you're ready to go
Is that a yes or no
Cause I'm ready to go
I'm ready to go (Go, go out, they sss, they sss, go out, out)
Cause I'm ready to go
I'm ready to go
If you say so
Cause I'm ready to go
I'm ready to go

I turn it on, I set the tone
I take control and create the atmosphere
And I know I'm ready to go
I am fully prepared and eager to start
I saw you waking up against the wall
I noticed you waking up while leaning against the wall
And I knew you were ready to go
I was aware that you are also eager to start
Tonight, I'm a different guy
Tonight, I am not the usual me
Forget about the things you know
Forget about any preconceptions or expectations
And if you wanna do it, we can do it right
And if you want to do it, we can do it properly
I can see you coming whole
I can sense your full anticipation
Cause you're ready to go
Because you are eager to start
Is that a yes or no
Is that a confirmation or rejection
Tell me something, we're out of time
Speak up, we don't have much time
Show me that this is it
Prove to me that this is what you want
Don't change your mind
Don't change your decision or intention

Because I am eager to start
If you say so
If you agree or give the green light
