The biggest dance act to hit the
scene since Fatboy Slim, this lad
knows what he is doing when it
comes to mixing the decks. We
are lucky enough to have in a
special in this weeks an interview
with this big superstar. We
have asked him a few questions
and he tells us a little about his
life and his mad opinions.
What’s your relationshiplike with other artists?
Depends what artist you are on about, if you are talking
about artists that are up there arse like the freak Skrillex, then no we do not have a good
relationship. He thinks he is the top dog because he wears hipster glasses and has gay hair. But if you are talking about artists such as Tiesto and David Guetta, well before Guetta started making terrible pop music. I am not one to get close to the competition, thats how I see it anyway. If people want to work with me they have to prove they are good enough. Some people like to do collaborations, I like to mix with other artists so I dont have to put up with there shit. 
What do you like about the music industry? 
What do I like?  I love waking up each morning and knowing that I am going to do what I love. Personally I feel really lucky to be where I am right now and I dont take any of this for granted . I like being a icon, I like being who I am, I like spreading art, I like spreading butter across my toast, but mostly I like spreading the    
legs of my lines of girls that adore me.
How have you got where you are now?
I have got where I am now because of hard work, determination, good looks and alcohol. But on a more
serious note, I have practiced since the age of six. My parents were a great help for me even though my mam was a complete wanker, doubting me, which in fact, just drove me on to be theperson I am right now.
What make your gigs iconic?
The fact I throw away rolls to the crowd, and to the people who are reading this and haven’t been lucky enough to see me bash out my tunes live. Not rolls in actual joints. Actual legit sausage rolls, who knows why? But the crowd fucking love it! What else well… I suppose I would be here all day if I were to talk
about how good and iconic my gigs are, so I will just let you know on a few secrets or two. Lights, light are key, if you did not have lights the atmosphere, well it wouldn't be what it is now. And that my pal would be awful.
If you could perform anywhere,where would it be? And why?
It would be in space, because my music is put of this world. Nah I’m just fucking with you pal, the place I would play out of my request would have to be somewhere in Europe, they by far have the best atmosphere, they just go crazy and let loose, and I really respect them for that. Maybe Holland or somewhere in the UK, they react best to my jams. The last place I would choose to perform would probably be somewhere in Asia, the weather there really does put a damper on the crowd, shame really.
What makes you who you are now?
C’mon that is a difficult one like, personally I think these questions are pretty shit and you should realise that for the next supped up ‘artist’ doesn'tt get as bored as I am. WHAT. But do you really want me to answer this? Yes? Fine okay, I think my dress sense contrast me away from other dance artist. I think my drops are unique and are different.
What is the best possible ‘ Martyrdom’ day?
Well there we go an actual good question, wellit would have to start with not waking up till around three in the afternoon. Then going out for a drive in my new mustang and blasting my own records. Then going
home, making love to my girlfriend, or anyone else who fancies a go. And finally end up my night at my own gig blasting my tunes and loving he fans and crowds that turn up.
How do you create your music?
The way I create my music is throught the computer and technology. I also use some instruments in some of my songs to join in with the bass. For example my song “Dance in Heaven”  uses a lot of instruments such as the violin and the triangle, got to love the triangle.  A lot of other artists in the same genre as me just go on the computer and press loads of buttons and hope for the best. I am not like any other artist.

What has been your all time high as a artist?
All time high? To be honest of the top of my head I can not really think of any, I suppose one of my best moments performing will have to be at the  IDMA (International Dance Music Awards) when I was part of the up and coming artists, I got nominated and I was totally shocked at that. As you will know I turned out to acquire the award.
