His new release via 8 House Records is out this week!
Hi Andy! Can you sum up your new release ‘G.H.E.T.T.O.’ in three words?
Groovy Tech House
Is this single a new sound direction for you?
100% the direction in heading in. I finally found a sound that suits me.
What was the best night out you have ever had?
That's tough!! Either Pikes Hotel in Ibiza around 10 years ago swimming at 5 am or when I randomly ended up at the Swedish House Mafia afterparty at their gig in Frankfurt around 2013. They were proper parties.
What is your favourite tune of all time?
That's so hard. Maybe, Stop Playing With My Mind – Barbara Tucker.
Who were your earliest influences in dance music?
Prince and Chic’s disco vibe all the way through to Roger Sanchez and The Masters At Work.
What was the 1st record you bought?
I don't really remember the first one, I just bought anything I could. I loved owning all types music from a young age. I remember buying Promised Land by Joe Smooth and playing it over and over. What a tune.
What was the last record or track you bought, downloaded or streamed?
Shmash – Green Velvet.
What record can you not stand?
Anything cheesy from the 80’s.
What is your greatest passion apart from music?
Has to be sport. I love watching and playing most sports. I challenge any DJ to a game of Tennis. Not found one that can beat me yet!!!
You are having a party, whom dead or alive would be first on the guest list?
Bob Marley. I recently visited Jamaica and his spirit still lives on in the people and in his music. He was and is a true pioneer of reggae music and I think he knew how to party.
Can you cook, if so, what is your signature dish?
I don't mind cooking but I’m not great. It would have to be something Chinese like Sweet and Sour Chicken
