I'd like to meet:
i am happy to speak with other promoters/djs/agents/ibiza peeps/old friends/new friends.no fuck ups, no people who will pester me for years telling me they would chop their nob off for a job in ibiza, and then when i arrange an interview date they forget to be on the isle, no 'im the best fucking dj in the world mate' kind of people.you get the idea.(if this is you, i have plenty of contacts you can annoy instead.)
i work closely with different agencies including media, modelling , design and music so am always interested in networking...its a people business so lets make friends!
Music:
at the moment am obviously being surrounded in electro/tech house.away from this i am an indie kid at heart.
at the moment i cant get enough of arcade fire, muse, arctic monkeys bloc party and my all time faves radiohead.
i grew up listening to:, manics, blur, oasis, flaming lips, interpol, mercury rev, keane, snow patrol, pink floyd, beatles, fleetwood mac, faithless,massive attack, basement jaxx, aim, portishead, tricky, etc etc etcdance music that i like is everything from dirty, bassy, funky electro to boshing halliwell beats.my legends include paul van dyk, eddie, sebastien ingrosso, anthony probyn, adam sheridan, nick bridges, cassette jam, mark knight, d ramirez, and well actually the whole cream line up.i have just realised how great trance can be with the right people at the right time!classic trance will always hold very happy memories for me!!!also maximum respect to any one who played at kanya in 2006, i thank and appreciate you all.the glasshouse sound is awesome, and i am enjoying working with some of the freshest, and best djs on the scene.we are blessed by speacial residents, and book not only huge named djs, but also the most credible producers.it is a pleasure to promote them all.i have worked with david morales, smoking jo, sandy rivera, richard dinsdale, dave spoon, wally lopez, paul jackson, deepgroove and many more so far in 2007!!!i could go on forever listing music i like...put it this way, music has massive powers over how my life is lived!
Movies:
the godfather is the don.also the classics with bobby de niro, al pacino...gangster and mob movies.other favourite actors include jim carrey, bill murray, nic cage, johnny depp.liked steve martin til he went shite.
and i must add this cos it is essential...dumb and dumber is possibly the greatest creation of all time. ....
Television:
dont really like watching tv, it rots the brain....things i have enjoyed in the past are shameless, trigger happy, game on, blackadder, fawlty towers, waking the dead, chris morris, alan cock piss partridge, ed, motd, 24, scrubs, the office, extras, my name is earl etc etc RICKY GERVAIS IS GOD BY THE WAY.one day i will get to see him live, not just buy tickets and then sit on the motorway south of birmingham.gutted.
Books:
godfather, time travelers wife, hitch hikers guide to the galaxy are my most read.also 1984.great book, so clever.infact too clever and has taken me 18 months so far!
Heroes:
any one who actually has the balls to get off their arse and achieve something with their lives.i mean , thats the whole point isnt it.DO SOMETHING!i am fascinated with people who against all odds have moved mountains, people that have lead change, and people who have made a positive difference to the world.i also look upto many players in the dance industry who have developed from nothing in to global success stories, and manage to still balance credibility and commercialism.these are magicians.
