What’s the most hedonistic party you’ve ever been to?
Ummm no idea… None????
What’s the most phenomenal clubbing venue in the world and why?
I’d say it has to be Fabric, always a great night and a the system, tech/monitoring/sound engineers etc are always spot on.
If you could go back to back with any DJ, at any venue, who would it be and why?
Dismantle, although I’ve done it numerous times, I think we have a really nice vibe between us and it’s always fun!
History is made at night… what was the best night of your life?
Slammin Vinyl at Bagleys some time in 1996, was the first time I ever went to a rave. Lost all my money, fell asleep at the bus stop waiting for my dad to pick me up and saw Nicky Blackmarket use an umbrella to protect his dub plates from all the sweat!
What’s the most debauched thing you’ve ever seen on the dance floor?
I’ve seen a girl get ummm fondled downstairs! At certain points I thought they were going to just go for it…. It was like an accident that you don’t want to see, but you can’t look away.
