What’s awesome about your job?
Travel, planes, hotels, sun and lack of sleep. Love it!
You didn’t jump to house and techno immediately.
I came from jazz, soul and hip hop, and then found house and techno. My forthcoming work is more electronic, but like fashion and trends, my tastes and production preferences seem to be coming full circle.
How has technology impacted electronic dance music?
Quantity breeds in most cases a lack of quality. Technology enables the enthusiast rather than the dedicated to succeed today. Having said that, today’s musical technology has opened up many new sounds—but to be honest I prefer music made the traditional way. In music, everybody has their own opinion.
Share with us your thoughts on the current electronic music landscape.
It’s random as hell! Those who are talented and creative seem to have to stand on the touchline while those who are loud and brash help themselves to “match day shirts.” Again that’s life and happens in any business. Money breeds money.
What do you “look for” on the dancefloor when you play your sets?
I look for at least one person who has come to dance, and do my upmost best to keep them in that frame of mind.
