Where in the world is your home base and why?

I’m mainly based between Lisbon and Tuscany. I love the colorful flavors of city in the former and the beautiful serenity of the latter.


What’s distinctive about the place you grew up, and how did it shape you?

I’m a true cockney from East London, whilst I left the UK many years ago I will always be proud to be a Londoner.


If you had to recommend one album for someone looking to get into dance music, what would you give them and why?

Leffield “Open Up” is an all time classic

Who are some upcoming artists that you’re into right now from Crosstown Rebels or others?

Tibi Dabo and Joplyn, 2 new incredible artists on the label


One piece of advice you’d give to new Artists/DJ’s trying to break through the DJ world?

Do it from the heart 


After a successful Day Zero event in Tulum, Mexico what’s next?
