You've been DJ'ing for many years - what keeps you going?
The thing that keeps me going is new music in general. I`m influenced by alot producers from many different genres as well as producing my own material.

The dance scene has really evolved since the boom in the 80's/early 90's - how do you see the next ten years?
Dance music seems to lend styles from other genres every so often, couldn't even begin to imagine what will happen in the next few years. Acid house is on the comeback tho.

What do you see as the essence of your success?
Good music, fine people and hard work !

Where have you travelled to DJ?
Club Raport, Croydon, London Touch Magazine Tour, Blackpool Proper Records Opening Party, Lancaster Soon to play : Oslo in Norway Mannheim in Western Germany Various places in Manchester, Leeds, Liverpool and in particular the Ministry of Sound.

What clubs would you like to play and why? Fabric because the sound system is incredible Hacienda for obvious reasons Paradise Garage, New York City. Not a room but also the House tent @ Creamfields, wicked atmosphere.

Who do you most admire in music today?
Too many people to mention, the innovators and the originators !

Who is your music legend?
Probably Michael Jackson

Ibiza - dead and buried, or ready to fight another day?
A lot of people say its too commercial but there will always be part of the good old Ibiza going on. Will fight another day once the lager louts move on.
