Last year you celebrated Creamfields 10th Anniversary in style, packing out the Cream Arena, how was the party for you?
It was great, it’s probably the longest on going pure dance festival in the UK.
Will you be bringing us some new tracks off the album during your set?
Absolutely, but I’m also writing music right now for my next album that comes out in 2010, so I will probably play something new as well.
Do you trial your music, before it goes on the album, to see how people react to different tracks?
As I explained before my set up is very interactive, so it’s not that I’m trying whole tracks, but elements of them, like playing a hook line and seeing how the crowd reacts to it live, changing it, building it up and then taking it back to the studio and producing it.
What advice would you give any budding DJ entering the scene at the moment?
Believe in your dreams and do what you like.
You’re one of the few DJ’s who has remained at the top of his game for the last 15 years, what’s the secret of your success?
Well, 2 things. First of all I don’t have any fake image, the person you see and the person you talk to, that is me and the other thing is that on one hand I have a very clear idea about my sound and the music that I like to play but I’m not a snobby arsed DJ, I’m always interacting with the crowd, seeing what’s going on and reacting to it.
Do you go clubbing much socially?
Well, not right now, it’s rather hectic and when I’m home and hanging out with friends, we go and have a beer or eat something.
What 3 acts would sum up your ultimate festival line up? Dead or alive?
Carl Cox, Sasha & I would love to see Shades of Rhythm.
Slightly off the subject, I believe your into horses? Could you tell us about this?
Well it’s more a thing that my wife does very well, she’s an amazing corsage rider and she’s training and doing the most amazing things. Obviously with my life I’m pretty much in the music industry, I know a lot of people there, so pretty much there’s just a few people outside of the music industry, because it is so hectic and so busy, that I know. So through the horse world I have met a lot of very cool people.
So you get a break from talking about music the whole time?
What I really enjoy about it is my wife and the horses, I’m just there, just being ‘normal’.
