'Supernaturalistic' just hit the stores. Music should speak for itself, but given the different styles on it tell a bit about the musical journey it offers?
"I think the album represents me as I am as a producer as well as a DJ: being passionate about a lot of different aspects of dance music. Translated into a musical journey the album covers a wide range of genres starting off more minimal with “Look Inside Your Head” and from there heading more towards tech-trance, techno, trance and tech-house in no particular order."
Looking at your gig schedule, how do manage to produce new tracks? Sitting in your hotel room rocking your laptop?
"To be honest it can be a bit tricky sometimes combining both producing and DJ-ing since my diary is getting more and filled up with gigs. I actually tried to solve that with producing on the road but I discovered that I couldn’t get the sound right with using a headphone instead of studio monitors so as a solution I decided to take a number of weekends off a year to do some serious producing in the studio. My laptop I now use for doing mixes and radioshows. "
What DAW software do you use to produce tracks? Any favourite plug-ins?
"As a main sequencer for producing music I use Logic 8, for mixes I use Ableton. My favourite plug-ins are all the Spectrasonics plug-ins as well as Predator, Massive and also actually the standard Logic plug-ins."
We want more! What to expect next from you?
"Obviously I’ve got a lot dates planned in for the album tour and besides that it’s busy as always in the studio!"
Let's make a deal. Once you're the worlds #1 DJ we'll throw a party and you'll play a six hour set! We'll donate all revenues to a good cause.
"Hahaha, let’s talk some more around that time!"
He can count on that! Once he made it up there - and he will - we won't stop (s)talking before he says yes!
