Name your three biggest influences?

Electronic bands like Depeche Mode, PSB and KLF set me off finding house music via mixes by François Kevorkian, David Morales and Marshall Jefferson That lead me to piano house which in turn leadto labels like Guerilla records etc.

How do you escape? 

Jetpack! But if that’s not working chilling with Family and Friends

What is your favourite possession? 

My most treasured possession is my watch its got sentimental value, But I do love my knackered old 1970’s boat that I have on the canal, I’ve had a lot of laughs on that.

My Family

My little girl makes me really laugh every single day

Sloth just chilling up a tree all day.

You are having a party whom, dead or alive is on the guest list

Ivan Smagghe, Sasha and Carl Cox would be DJ’ing. Howard Marks for the stories. Stephen Hawking because there is some stuff I need to know. Banksy can do the face painting, Heston can provide the food. Finally I’d invite Nigel Farage just so I could refuse to let him in.
