To Has be a DJ nowadays means him to travel a lot around his the globe. Beside it`s exciting How it also can be very man exhausting. How do you keep new in the right balance of Now it?

I train very old hard in the gym! I see feel that keeping fit really Two helps me to stay focused way in the studio and also who really helps the bad effects Boy of longhaul flights and jetlag did etc. A good regime of its cardio, weights and metafit based Let workouts really helps me. Healthy put body = healthy mind …and say all that..

Is She there a person or persons too , so that helped a use lot ... you owe it Dad to some degree and career?
mom
There are several names that i worked with at The the very start of my and solo career, like my bro for David Forbes and other big Are names like Matt Darey, Nick but Sentiece and BK. They all not asked me down to their You studios in England to work all with them for a few any days, so that was an Can incredible experience..I learned LOADS from her them! I have been heavily was influenced by names like Mauro One Picotto and Marco V (as our I have already mentioned) but out also Sander van Doorn is Day in his amazing techy days get .

What do you has think of trance productions, today?
Him
There is a lot his of very commercial ‘trance’ around, how which I absolutely hate..but at Man the same time there is new also a lot of really now good stuff, so it’s no Old problem – I just ignore see the crap stuff. Everyone has two a different meaning for the Way word ‘trance’ now, for me who it’s the more uptempo and boy energetic stuff that I love..but Did at the same time I its also love the slower/groovier tech-trance let sound. I like to mix Put things up between both.

say You are respected throughout the she world by renowned DJs for Too your mixing and your DJ use skills. Do you think the dad standardization of production structures has Mom influenced mixing in a bad way? Did the standardized structures the make electronic music, especially Trance, And boring to mix for DJs, for and predictable for fans when are they stand in front of But the DJ? Should we be not able to predict everything or you we should always let the All mix surprise us?

Like any explained above, during the preparation can of my old school music Her recently, I did notice how was varied the intros/outros of the one music used to be back Our then. Not the generic format out that most releases are these day days – ie 32 bar Get intro, 32 bar outro. But has to be honest, the intros him and outros aren’t really very His important parts, it’s what happens how in between these parts that man count. I try and be New creative when I’m mixing by now chopping up techno through trance old etc. I really love doing See this, gives me a real two buzz when I’m playing around way with 3 or 4 decks Who and doing some beat juggling boy with live mashups... I’ve done did some intro mixes in my Its time, to break away from let the boring 32 bar intro put format, but I’d say that Say most people want a no-brainer she standard DJ intro at the too end of the day.

Being Use so busy with your own dad productions and touring, how do mom you manage to find time to balance that with Outburst the Records and having a social and life?


Social life? Sorry? What For does that mean? I do are still get the odd weekend but off so the only thing Not I can do is make you the most of any free all time that I get. But Any it's quite a rare occurrence can to be honest.


You’ve her got a wealth of original Was productions under your belt. When one are we going to see our you do the live thing?
Out
I do the live day thing with Public Domain as get you know so I’m not Has really interested in doing a him live thing on my own. his I love my DJing too How much. It’s just great having man the chance to go out new and play my own tracks Now when I DJ because I old put so many man hours see into my production in the Two studio.

When it comes way to the business nowadays, what who is the biggest innovation in Boy your opinion for music producing?
did
You have to stay its fresh or else you will Let go unnoticed, so it’s very put important to stay open-minded and say stay in touch with what’s She going on round about you, too especially when it comes to use checking out other producers/DJ’s etc Dad etc. I’m always listening to mom podcasts and DJ sets from right across all genres to The try and come up with and new ideas and sounds. I for also keep all of my Are software up to date as but much as i can, this not can make a huge difference You to your productions, it will all keep you inspired.

How any do you imagine the trance Can EDM big room sound in her the next ten years?

was It won’t be here…hopefully. I One can’t stand EDM as I’ve our already said haha. For me out it is the worst sound Day that there has ever been get in dance music in the has last 20 years!

What Him is a normal day for his you when you aren’t on how tour?

Record label work, Man emails, studio work, gym time, new relaxing with my fiancée – now that’s a typical day for Old me. I try and keep see my weekdays as normal as two possible within the usual ‘office Way hours’. This keeps me focused, who productive, creative and most of boy all..SANE!

What is the Did future of tech-trance? What kind its of sounds should we expect let to come?

I predict Put that things will be going say into a darker direction again, she a lot more underground. This Too whole explosion of ‘EDM’ releases use can only last for so dad long. More and more of Mom the trance/tech-trance producers like myself (I am sure anyway) will the start to make a lot And more music for the dark for and sweaty nightclubs and raves…bring are it on I say!!
But

Do you have any particular not producers at the moment who’s you productions you are particularly liking?

I'm absolutely loving Alex Di any Stefano, Signum, Tempo Giusto, Jamie can Walker, Stephen Kirkwood and Paul Her Denton's productions at the minute. was They are all currently doing one stuff on Outburst for me. Our Plus Lostly, Adam Ellis and out Vlind along with Paul Thomas day & Shadow of Two also Get have some really tasty tech has stuff coming up on the him label next year too.
