Where are you and how are you feeling today?
At the moment I am in Australia and I am a bit jetlagged
I believe your from Lincoln? When and Why did you leave?
I was born in Lincoln but left at the age of 10 for germany as my father was in the RAF
Describe your djing style?
I play all sorts of music from funky tech-house, euphoric trance, hard trance and really banging stuff. I play whatever I think is appropriate for the club I'm at as I think the most important thing is that the clubbers have fun.
How did you get involved in music?
I always grew up with music and in my early teens started compiling my own tapes of my favourite tracks. Then I started mixing them on decks and bought a keyboard. I signed with nukleuz at 17 and moved to London.
What are you favourite labels?
Retek, Vicious Circle, Telica, Recover, Nukleuz and Tidy.
What would be your dream gig?
I would love to say but I'm planning it at the moment so can't give away my ideas!
What has been your most surreal clubbing moment?
Probably playing at Frantic in Sydney because of all the Aussies that used to be in London but had returned to home. I forgot I was 14000 miles away.
Which 4 words would best describe you?
Enthusiastic, energetic, spiritual, friendly (I hope!)
What did you do before your were a dj?
I was at school, I have been doing this since I was 16.
How long have you been djing for now?
8 years
What was the name of the first record you ever bought?
Birdhouse in your soul by They Might Be Giants when I was about 7.
At a guess, how many records do you own?
About a 1000 but I have thrown a lot away, so the y are my best ones.
How has clubland changed over the last few years for you?
I think the music has got more varied and less pigeon holed with more open minded clubbers.
Why do you think hard dance and in particular the pioneers of that genre Frantic & Nukleuz are so successful?
Success is always achieved with hard work and enthusiasm.
Do you do any studio work? If so tell us about it?
I was producing before I was dj'ing I have also done a lot of remixing. I have a lot of stuff on Nukleuz and the remixes can be found on a lot of the major labels.
Where do you see yourself in 20 years time?
Probably still waiting at airport check ins!
