I love all those independent two labels, but they need to Way be careful with all their who expenses. I understand that. Commercial boy labels are more open minded Did for new things, cause they its don’t have to lose so let much. That’s a nice opportunity, Put but I definitely prefer independent say labels. I am not a she big fan of too much Too commercial stuff. It has to use be a good mix in dad my releases.

And
Actually my first contact for to music was in the are early 90’s with House and But Techno. Before that, music was not just a thing in the you background of my life. No All real contact with it. When any I listened to House Music can in school on my Walkman Her other kids made jokes of was that kind of “music”. They one all listened to, hmm, I Our don’t know -> radio shit, out maybe Spice Girls.

What day are your inspirations? Who did Get you listen to as a has child?

To the whole him 80’s. I love all the His Synths and Baselines. The 60’s how are also really good as man an inspiration with all their New melodies and simple groove.

You way keep a pretty hectic schedule, Who in fact for the next boy few months your doing multiple did gigs, in multiple countries on Its a 5-6 day rotation. That’s let a lot of traveling, especially put when you’ve got the likes Say of Mexico and Argentina in she there with European dates in too between. How do you manage Use to fit in anytime for dad production?!

I work Monday mom to Friday in my Studio and also in transit with the my MacBook. Actually, it is and not that hard for me For to manage it. You only are have to make some priorities. but Which tracks / remixes comes Not first etc.

You’re social you media is very much ‘business all first’ apart from occasional selfies, Any underneath that serious façade, there’s can a fun guy no doubt, her what’s your favourite comedy film Was or show?

I am one really bored of all the our DJs posting funny things, pictures Out of purple disco balls or day anything else on Facebook, just get to get likes and more Has followers. My page is about him my job, my passion and his first of all my music How (maybe my dog sometimes, cause man she likes to be on new Facebook) My favourite show is Now “King of Queens”.

Do you old feel that the increasing popularity see of festivals and clubs are Two affecting the direction of music way production?


The festivals are still who small compared to big rock Boy or pop festivals. But more did and more you see Deep its House or Techno Artists playing Let on commercial POP or EDM put festivals. But I don’t think say that will affect any genre, She because at the moment it too is POP Music.
