Billinge Hospital, Near Wigan
Age?
23
Where do you live?
I live in a small village called Appley Bridge, just outside of
Wigan
Obviously the scene has changed over the
last 10 years, in what ways do you see the differences?
I feel the scene has changed in many ways, there is far more competition
these days and a lot of clubs are fighting for the same market.
There is so much for people to choose from, especially with all
the big events happening, which have affected the weekly club nights.
New technology and the Internet are also causing a change within
the scene.
What was your highpoint in the last decade?
Entering the DJ mag top 100 DJ’s
Describe your DJ’ing style?
Energetic, uplifting and interactive
Massive Attack will be headlining this
years Creamfields festival will you be checking them out on the
Live Outdoor stage?
Definitely!
Your performing in the Cream Arena this
year along with Tiesto, Paul Van Dyk Fergie, and also headlining
the Frantic & Nukleuz present Hardware Arena, how do you feel
about this?
I am so exicited about this festival and looking forward to playing
in front of such a large crowd. I can’t thank Cream enough
for giving me the opportunity to perform in two different arenas.
What track do you expect to take the roof
off at this years Creamfields festival?
DK by DK
Who will you be checking out at this year’s
festival?
I will be trying to check out as many DJ’s as possible, as
festivals are an ideal opportunity to listen to DJ’s from
all over the world.
What is your best and festival memory?
Last year at the Gatecrasher Summer Sound System, it was awesome
to play in front of such a large audience.
Who do you see as a rising star in the
DJ world at the moment?
There are quite a few rising stars in the Good Greef camp, check
out the Mixmag ‘Future Hero’s’ tent
Whats your favourite film?
I am not a mad fan of films and do not really have a favourite.
What 3 things could you not live without?
My records, Vestax battery operated turntable, and my decks
What was the first & last record you
bought?
The first one I shall have to keep you guessing about, as it is
a tad embarrassing, but the last one was a funky percussive track
which I have been after for a while called ‘del gado –
coffee beats on Fluential
Please finish this sentence…Creamfields
is going to be one hell of a ‘Fire up’.
