Florida 135 in the area of
Barcelona (I am entering my 6th year and play there monthly). 060311 in
Frankfurt (I play 4-6 times a year). Turbo in Toronto (after a year and
a half at industry I am moving to turbo), Motor in Detroit (one of my
newest residencies ...probably bi-monthly), Lush in London ONT (I do various
aquaholic nights) as well I play another dozen cites with regular frequencies...
Canada is more than holding
its own of late...Toronto and Montreal especially are some of the best
places in the world right now Do you ever get tired of all
the travel? How do you keep yourself motivated? Well...there are worse jobs
that I could list...that pretty much is all I need to keep me going. That is tough, especially this
year...my oldest son just started school and I do not see him as often,
since I have my office and studio at home. I need to find a new balance... How do you feel about Industry
[in Toronto] closing after all these years? A pity...but time does not
stand still. I think the industry guys made an honorable decision. I look
forward to my last party there. Treat your craft and crowds
with respect...as well for DJ's who play in clubs....you are an entertainer
not a pop star... What future do you envision
for yourself? For the scene? I just try to evolve along
with what is transpiring internationally...so far so good...a pretty simple
existence in this case. I feel that I am part of the international body
of our movement and will try and be part of the growth... It is nothing but a generational
struggle...the big irony is that this generation was the most liberal
generation and now they are changing their tune...does anyone remember
yorkville in the late 60's and early 70's? History repeats itself... Working as a bank teller or
night clerk in a hotel What do your parents think
of your profession? They don't think it's a profession...I
do not come from an artistic family. I think they appreciate that I do
not ask them for money... What are your inspirations
lately? What do you recommend? |
