If you could eternally be stuck in one year's music scene, which year would it be & why? I think the 00s. Music was raw and skills either as a dj or producer mattered. 2.) What single night out has been the most memorable for you? As a DJ? As an attendee? As a clubber i will never forget Derick May during WMC in 2007, cant recall the venue. The night easily could turn into a riot when he played last track of his set, crowd was yelling not to stop but in south beach the closing times are different from down town. After all the yelling and shouting he dropped one more but after seconds of it, bouncers went on him. Amazing night! As a dj? pfff honestly too many to remember but will always remember my last tour in brazil and my morning gig in Dirtybird Campout 3.) What is one track that never gets old to you no matter how many times you play it? Rhythim Is Rhythim - Strings Of Life 4.) If you could produce a track with anyone right now who would it be? There are so many good artists around but i think Claude Von Stroke would be my first choice 5.) What advice would you give to an aspiring DJ? To have faith and never stop working hard. 6.) If you could choose any venue or location to perform at where would it be? Id really like to play at a boat party. Havent played yet and really looking forward. 7.) What animal best describes you? The mule. Im persistent and peaceful but if u nag me a lot youll get a kick in your sweeties 8.) Name one thing you do aside from music that keeps you sane? Growing up my kids. 9.14.18
