What has been your most difficult challenge?: Breaking into the local club scene
What makes you different?: I not only use samples but use them almost as a track and part of the mix. I mainly use stuff from cult tv shows and films as well as video games and even sound effects.
I also like to throw in some 70’s/80’s ballads/electro classics…speed em up/funk em up and drop it into a banging electro baseline
I also rarely stick to one genre in the same set.
I’m not just a DJ, I’m a performer, I work the crowd, I ham it up, I live the experience.
What projects are you working on?: Building towards a set for FITP 2011. As well as trying to secure a regular gig/residency.

What inspires you? : Films/TV/80s anthems/Arcade games/other DJs I admire and aspire to
How would you define your style of music? : Unpredictable. I climbatize, fade, drop, sample, loop, switch genres, mix old and new. I perform. I don’t take myself too seriously. If its not fun, there’s no fucking point.
What teams are you affiliated with? : None
Who are some artists that you have worked with? : None

Where do you see the future of music? : Some people need to let go of the past. There’s too much pretentiousness in dance music. These people are holding things back. Things will move on and evolve but it’d be quicker without backward thinking.
