A: First of all thanks for inviting me, it was a fun mix to do and was quite the retrospective. This mix was a trip back through time for me. Many of the pieces here inspired me to create my own music from a young age, as well as been the soundtrack to integral moments in my life. I’ve played guitar since the age of 11. In my teenage years I spent a lot of time in rock bands, but eventually wasn’t satisfied as the music I was listening to incorporate so many other unworldly elements that couldn’t be achieved with traditional instruments. Most of the music in this mix was material that inspired me to explore beyond my instrument (guitar) and discover the land of synthesizers and samplers to create what I was hearing in my head. So I would say that these tracks are songs that I would still listen to today and are the original pieces that gave me a sense of wonder to discover creating music by myself with technology. These pieces started me off on a journey that will continue for the rest of my life. Q: What do these tracks still mean to you today and would you play some of them in your DJ sets? A: These tracks all mean a lot to me in many different ways. On a personal level each track will trigger memories of times and places in my life that are important to me. Some memories are great and others not, so these songs have the ability to trigger strong emotions for me. Some songs for me are difficult to listen to because they got me through some bad times and as much as I love the song, it reminds me of those moments and can almost bring me to tears. But mostly even those songs will eventually put a smile on my face because they resonate with me so deeply that it’s like being in the presence of a long lost friend. I would definitely play some of these in my sets and after doing this mix it inspired me to do some re-edits for my sets in future. So when I have some free time I’ll experiment with that a bit. Q: Which future projects are in the making? A: At the moment my studio schedule is locked down with remixes until the end of the year. I’ve been mostly doing that for now and have a remix of Dance Spirit coming out on Dreaming Awake in December which will be my last release of 2019. After those are done I’ll be finishing up a body of work of originals for my 2020 release schedule so I’m excited to spend my time between touring in studio.
