I've always had a fascination with making your own music but never have been skilled enough to play the instrument, so to be able to make music without the ability was awesome.

A lot of work and thinking goes into my DJing. I want the entire night to progress seamlessly and when I have to adapt the energy on the fly for the crowd on any given night, I can do so with harmonic mixes that Ive practiced over and over again. I am far from the only DJ that does this and its something I take pride in being able to do.

House music originated in America, and it has always been around, but I guess it just got a tighter hold on Europe and other parts of the world.

I grew up listening to a lot of Ray Charles and '60s rock, thanks to my father, and then my brothers got me in to KISS and whatnot, so I guess that's where I got my first taste for music.

When I started working on electronic music, that was after the rave period. I haven't even seen that part of it that much.

I would never lay down a pre-programmed set and perform to a pre-mixed CD; I would never cheat my fans like that.

I've always been a producer - that's how I see myself first. The DJing came second as a way for me to be able to perform.
