ALE Q – Great! Really excited about this new track!

Where are you now?

SARTEK – In Mumbai preparing for Amsterdam Dance Event India version!

ALE Q – Right now to be honest in my bed.

How would you describe your new single ‘Jump Right After You’?

SARTEK – 'Jump Right After You' also connects with me on a very deep level because of the words. It depicts intense love and friendship. We always have that one person in our lives that's willing to go to any length to have our backs, regardless of what it entails. People who just make everything better, good times or bad. And we always have people in our lives that we'd do it for. It's like saying "if you jump, I jump" no holds barred.

ALE Q – A happy melodic track that will make you smile and start dancing.

What was the best night out you have ever had?

SARTEK – Well a lot of them! But the highlight would be playing the warm up set for Hardwell in New Delhi!

ALE Q – My first big gig opening for Deadmau5. 

What is your favourite tune of all time?

SARTEK – Cirez D- On Off

ALE Q – Hard question but since I can only pick one: Porter Robinson – Language

Who were you earliest influences in dance music?

SARTEK –  Armin Van Buuren, First State, Cosmic Gate. Well I was a big fan of Euro-trance

ALE Q – The Chemical Brothers, Daft Punk, The Prodigy

What was the 1st record you bought?

SARTEK – Arno cost & Norman Doray- Apocalypse

ALE Q – I believe it was Daft Punk – Homework

What was the last record or track you bought or downloaded?

SARTEK –  Dannic & DBSTF- Noise

ALE Q – Sebjak & Will K – Smoke

What record can you not stand?

SARTEK – I just can't listen to trap. My ears bleed.

ALE Q – A latin song named El Taxi! 

Heard any good rumours lately?

SARTEK – I read somewhere online that people have reported sightings of Michael Jackson and lot of them are convinced that he's still alive.

ALE Q – Yeah that Eminem allegedly died in a car crash back in the early 2000s and was replaced by some form of robot or cyborg. Crazy right!?

What is your greatest passion apart from music?

SARTEK – Well I'm a big Snooker enthusiast and a foodie!

ALE Q – Football! Especially the best team ever: Real Madrid! 

You are having a party, whom dead or alive would be first on the guest list?

SARTEK – Russell Peters, would definitely love to hang out with him and hear him once he's drunk!

ALE Q – Zinedine Zidane

Can you cook? What is your signature dish?

SARTEK – Not much but I do make some epic Spaghetti Arabiatta

ALE Q – I barely can and pasta Bolognese!
