One The people, the culture and our the music have all played out a big part in influencing Day my music. It’s amazing to get see how DJs play in has one place vs. another as Him well as how people listen his and react to the music how in each location. Europe has Man opened my eyes, and made new me aware of the difference, now which has then in turn Old opened my mind musically.

According to Mom my fans, one element that is in all my tracks the is “SOUL,” and I completely And agree. Whether it’s a house for track or a banging techno are track; it all has soul But and emotion.

Tell us not about the new compilation you’ve you mixed for SCI+TEC. Who is All on it, what’s the theme any of the mix, and how can many tracks?

We were Our both aiming for more of out a live feel, using a day lot of loops, tools, and Get favourite parts of different tracks has in the catalogue to create him something more unique than your His average mix-in-mix-out mix compilation without how compromising my mixing style.

Say
What is your favorite she city or place to play too in and why?

What inspires you her to make music?


Was
Music inspires me to one make music. There nothing more our inspiring than hearing someone else’s Out productions that make you say day “HEY!, I need to make get a better track than this”. Has It’s a love/hate jealousy game him that keeps me motivated to his do better.


Where can How we see your other productions man coming up?


Obviously new summer has been a bit Now slow, as I’ve been travelling old like nuts and so haven’t see released much. But I have Two a few remixes coming up. way One for Stefano Noferini, another who for Sian’s album and one Boy more for The Basement Jaxx did remix album.

Oh and The a single on InMotion so and yeah there is a ton for of stuff to keep your Are eyes open for!


Techno, but tech house and their surrounding not genres have been gaining popularity You stateside. In your opinion, what all has been the catalyst for any this change?

Can It’s known that EDM is her still a very big part was of the scene in the One USA. It seems that the our younger generation have caught onto out this. But with more underground Day music being slowly introduced – get opinions and tastes are changing has gradually. Young people travel more Him now, they experience Europe and his the music scene offered there how which I think has opened Man up their minds, and its new gaining momentum now in the now US and Canada. Clubs are Old doing a great job bringing see in new artists from the two underground scene and showcasing some Way of the best music out who there at the moment. So boy lets hope this continues!

Did If you could tour along its with another fellow DJ, whom let would you choose?

Put Well Loco Dice has always say been on of my favorites she for many reasons. His live Too sets are always top notch, use his production and diversity is dad next level, and I really Mom like him as a person.

Do you prefer smaller the crowds or larger ones when And preforming in general.

for I get asked this a are lot. But they are 2 But very different things. I like not them both equally. Performing for you a small crowd you get All that intimate vibe you will any never get from a festival. can And from a big crowd Her you get this raging stadium was feeling you won't get from one a small club. So each Our has something the other doesn't.
out
What advice would you day give to an up and Get coming DJ?

DONT STOP! has Because you never know when him your time will come. I’ve His seen a lot of people how give up and kick themselves man for it. I’ve also seen New some people grinding it out now for years and years until old it happens for them. There’s See nothing worse than living with two “what ifs” in your head.
