HOW YOU DOING TODAY? ARE YOU
ALRIGHT?
Yeah I'm good, just recovering from
the weekend. It was a tough one.
HOW MANY GIGS DID YOU HAVE,
THREE?
Yeah, three on the weekend, plus I
played on Wednesday in Paris and
didn't get much sleep during these
days.
YEAH I HAD ONE GIG ON THE
WEEKEND, BUT I'VE BEEN GETTING
UP REALLY EARLY TO TRY AND
FINISH PROJECTS AND STUFF, AND
IT'S KIND OF TAKEN ITS TOLL, SO
I KNOW HOW YOU FEEL. LET'S GET
THIS OUT THE WAY. SO HOW IS
2014? HOW'S IT GOING SO FAR?
Pretty good, I can't complain at all.
I've got a couple of releases coming
out. I already got something out at
the beginning of the year that I'm
really happy with, because I didn't
release much the last two years. I
moved to Berlin recently, like three
months ago. I set up a new studio
here. Yeah, feeling good.
HOW AND WHEN DID YOUR
MUSICAL JOURNEY BEGIN, TO
WHERE YOU ARE NOW? WHAT
WAS THE TURNING POINT?
I was always really into music and
started collecting records and Cds,
and music in general, at a very
early age. I think I was like thirteen/
fourteen, the first time I was
introduced to the former techno
and trance wave, in the 90's. By
the age of seventeen, I teamed up
with a friend of mine and we got
our first turntables, and we started
playing around (with it) a little bit. I
think it was like 2002 when I had my
first gig in a small bar, in my former
hometown, and from there, step by
step, I got more into it, and from
