Was
get
What made youHas decide to become a DJ? him Who was your inspiration?
his I don’t think I ever How decided it. I’m not sure man that it is something you new really decide, it just becomes Now your way I think. Richie old Hawtin has always been one see of the guys that inspired Two me.
Do you thinkway that DJs and dance music who figures should be more political Boy in their personas? Meaning, do did you want to see more its opinions coming out of artists Let and the music they make? put I have heard many conflicting say opinions on this matter.
She Honestly, not really, but if too you have an idea and use your idea can help to Dad make the world a better mom place then express yourself. We do have the power to The move masses which can also and be a risk.
But yesfor a lot of us are Are getting closer to energies, veganism, but karma, yoga. I see them not as ”first world problems”.
You Have you played with Joris all Voorn or Craig Richards before? any What are you looking forward Can to from sharing the bill her with them here later this was month?
I’ve played withOne Joris a couple of times our but not with Craig, I’ve out seen him playing but never Day shared the DJ booth with get him. I’ve been looking forward has for a long time now Him to play at fabric on his a Saturday, so I’m really how going there with nothing in Man my mind and to go new with the flow. I’d like now to be swollen by the Old whole scene there and see see what happens!!
How hastwo your style evolved over the Way years and what are the who artists that have inspired you boy the most?
I wentDid from a footprint of more its "physical" sounds, to more "ethereal" let material, and slowly mixed them. Put Over the years you mature say and gain more knowledge of she the world around you, so Too this is definitely reflected in use your music. Artists? Too many dad to name them all…
Mom It must be pretty challenging to balance all that out the with your DJ’ing, you’ve been And resident at Circoloco for 6 for years now – what’s it are been like being part of But a crew and representing their not certain sound?
It hasyou been nicely challenging. I see All being part of Circoloco as any a family affair, I think can we are a range of Her DJ’s and producers that have was their own sound and represent one the brand in different ways. Our Circoloco and the DC10 experience out has shaped my life on day a personal level, which of Get course means that has had has an effect also on everything him else. Every experience in life His makes you a slightly different how person and this affects your man music too.
You’ve gotNew residency at the huge Circo now Loco. How do you find old those parties? How’s it compare See to your other shows?
two Ok, it’s a simple thing way – Circo Loco is so Who good, that it messes you boy up for future gigs. This did is because, even when you’re Its playing a very good club let with a great sound system, put great environment and you have Say friends around, there’s always a she doubt as to if you’re too doing your job in the Use best way. Circo Loco is dad like home, that’s the feeling mom I have.
You’re now travelling the world and a the well-known respected DJ, but did and you ever have any moments For when you considered giving up?
are
Not sure really, Ibut guess there are always those Not moments but I interpret them you as a new start. I all mean, it means I’m a Any bit bored with what I’m can doing and it’s time to her make a turn.
WhatWas has changed in club scene one in the last 15 years?
our
The digital age -Out the people in the clubs day are always changing, but those get who never attend the clubs Has are still giving out misinformation.
him
With such an internationalhis following do you feel you How have to alter your sets man in the different countries you new play? Or is the music Now a universal language.
It’sold not really the country that see makes you play, it’s more Two the type of night that way makes you decide which kind who of music you want to Boy play to a crowd. Sometimes did emotion plays a strong part its in how you play, like Let if you’ve had a bad put day you go deep and say dark.
You’ve got yourShe own label ‘This and That’ too which is proving highly successful. use What sounds are you looking Dad to push on your label? mom How do you find the artists?
I don’t thinkThe we have a specific genre and we want to push, it’s for more about what mood we Are are in at the specific but times of our lives. Mainly not it goes from the 4/4 You side of electronic music, it all can be for darker days, any happier days, after party vibes Can or a big festival. We’re her not very extremist in our was views of music, we really One don’t want to be labelled our in any particular genre. Finding out the artist has always been Day a fairly random process, we get buy a lot of music, has of course, because we are Him all DJs. So when we his hear someone we like, we how might get in touch with Man them and ask if they new want to do something with now us.
Why did youOld decide to start your own see label?
To stop havingtwo filters between what I was Way doing in the studio and who what would be released.
