i see my self as a live dj, someone that needs an audience to play, i'm very much a vinyl person, i need to be able to physically feel what i play and vinyl comes closest to this aim i have, the frequencies are better, more interesting and there's the object of course, much more tactile than mp3's, also there's the apparent contradiction in playing vinyl that contains futuristic musical information, in my opninion, a lot of electronic music plays with contradictions or seemingly contradictory elements...i've been playing minimal music for a few years now, this minimal stance always drew my attention, whether it was techno or house or even classical music, basic channel and all things berlin ten years ago are a big influence, first and second wave detroit producers, dub and reggae, modern classical music, but equally the first european wave of electronic pop music in the seventies...ah well...it is difficult to mention influences because music is always and still changing, it is every music lover's experience to discover new and inspiring things all the time
