What's important the message or the millions?
Well the message doesn't pay the bills, you die a poor but
respected person. It depends, I suppose it is a balance. If you
maintain a living but also respect, then you are blessed. If you
sell millions and remain respected, you are a star. If you sell out
for 5 minutes for the money, lose all your respect and friends then
you are a fool ?
Favorite artist in your I pod at the moment?
Always a tricky one. I really like the new Portishead album, and
seijis mix of Erykah Badu.
Do you know any female producers or
Beatmakers?
Well I know you. Also DJ Sunshine in Oslo, my friend Jo Sweeney in
Newport has been making some beats this year. I’m sure there are
loads, and I hope this network brings them together.
What was the best advice given to you either in music or
in personal life?
I guess from 4hero as a teenager I heard them say "Keep your feet
on the ground, or else they re six feet under". So I guess
remaining grounded through the ups and downs of my minimal fame in
our music world. To be proud yet' humble. And my mum always used to
say "It won't matter tomorrow" and most of the time it doesn't.
What is your motivation?
To keep trying to make and play innovative heartfelt music. To
communicate something beyond the dance floor and try to touch
people who get that little tingle from a song when it hits them
inside. Seeing and hearing people enjoying music.
If you did not come from earth what planet would you come from and what language would they speak there?
I guess in the star wars universe I would come from the planet Mandatory, and be a feared hunter of Jedi/Sith.
If you was a musical super hero what would be your weapon
of choice?
The ability to pause time and work for hours on something, or
defeat an enemy by slowly building a complicated wall of harmonies
and beats around them when time was paused. Basically I'm alluring
to the fact that I can't play keys very well and have tricked
people over the years by playing in chords one at a time and
editing them very well.
What are your opinions of the music industry
today?
I used to be so anti pop, but now I realise that for all the lazy
peddling of muck and running a style into the ground, they do
present some true stars of various genres. I think my scene is in
that troubled period now where the kids have no idea what our music
was and are all into dubstep. The links back to fusion or real hip
hop or even funk breaks is a bit lost. Everything is free at the
touch of a button, and music has become a bit cheap. Only the
strongest survive, and I aint saying I’m gonna.
Any technical hints or tips you can share?
Learn something thoroughly before you start learning other things.
If you want a drum machine, buy that first. Then buy a sequencer,
then learn that. Learning too much at once is daunting and can make
you give up. Also, don’t have too many unfinished tracks on your
hard drives cos it gets depressing to see them all the time. If it
isn’t going anywhere, back it up and forget about it. If it is
meant to be you will find it again, somehow.

What are your opinions of the music industry
today?
doo doo!!!!!!
Any hints or tips you can share?
Just to stay true to what you feel and what you like. Don’t mold
yourself into something you aren't for someone else for money or
notoriety. Cause if someone company wants to pay the fake you allot
of money they must be fake too and with fake business comes fake
promises.
