People, places, music, technology, philosophy, life.
Anyone who shares my interests. Anyone who can help me in my quest for world domination.
Music is probably my biggest passion - I've been DJing since 1995 and producing electronic music (sporadically) since 1989. I have a very diverse taste in music which has been reflected in my DJ career so far and probably always will be. I'm probably best known for playing techno, but depending on where I'm playing you can expect to hear electronica, electro, breaks, ambient, house, hip-hop, indie, rock & roll, blues, funk, soul, jazz, disco, dub and many styles in between. If there's a limiting factor in what I play its that I tend to only like music that was groundbreaking at the time it was made - you have to keep pushing forward the boundaries!
