What are your comments about the way the scene has split up into different sections?
Its just a biased thing, you’ve got people that are into Techno that are really stobby, the kind of Techno that they’re making is not the kind of thing I’m into.

You’ve got people like Dave Angel and Frankie Valentine, those two guys I respect to the bone  The commitment and sticking to what they believe even when things didn’t look good for them, there the ones I respect. I don’t respect those who slag off Jungle or something they don’t like, those people are narrow minded people. There are two categories of music - Good or Bad, Techno, Garage, Pop whatever - Good or Bad!

I think it’s jealously, some of the people playing Garage are not as committed as we are, we are into everything. If I wanted to be a Garage man I could do it if I wanted to you know, my agents, manager, the people who market me could make it possible, its not a problem. Because some of the Garage guys can’t cut it on our scene they are like lost sheep, they read Mix Mag and the magazines boasting up all those kind of funny things and they are like lost sheep. I’ve looked in someone’s chart for the Garage scene and seen one that’s Trance - these guys don’t even know the records they are playing.

Some people haven’t got more than 500 records to their name, I’ve got records all over the place, my family’s house - a vast collection of music - all the way through Jazz, everything. They will kill themselves, there is no need to slag off that guy there, all the sweatiness, whatever, there is no need for it! Believe!

MC’s, a question always raised, do you enjoy having them on with you?
No I don’t, all the lyrics they chat, a couple I like for their own particular thing - Five O & Moose - they are dealing with their own particular thing. I played at a rave in Geneva about a year and a half ago, a House set, with E-Mix, he was wicked and I’d have him with me anytime. The rest call all shut up as far as I’m concerned, get out of it!

Have you got any horror stories about trying to get to an event?
I was on the way to Milwalkes the other week and broke down, up to now he does not believe me, I always try to get to the events I’m booked for. Loads of things like that have happened over the years, I’ve been chased across the motorway by the police, chased by dogs, everything. It’s a way of life, you can’t just switch off. I’m lucky at the moment because the people I’m living with help me switch off in the week.

What kind of music do you listen to when your chilling out?
I listen to Rap, Soul, Garage House, Jazz, I’m listening to Heavy Metal Rock at the moment. I’m inspired by a lot of different things, I love everything.

There was a Rave called, ‘The Ark’ at Leeds a couple of months ago where you were down to play, how come you didn’t show up there?
I didn’t know anything about it, if me or my colleagues are booked we do everything we can to get there. Things like that look bad because people think it’s because we don’t care, that we think we are too good to go down there or whatever. On Saturday night I went to Hull in the snow, I go to my gigs. Promoters out there putting names on flyers make us seem like we’ve got an attitude. I’m not on no pedestal, I get in there with the ravers, when I go to Rezerection I’m in the crowd with the ravers, a lot of them are my mates.

Is there anyone you would like to thank?
There’s so many people you know, I’d like to thank Eddie Richards, Dy-na-mix, Sarah, all my colleagues for the inspiration and keeping me motivated, my friends for keeping my feet on the ground, Brian Gee and all the promoters that have supported me.

Is there anything else you want to say?
Yeh, I’m happy with the way the music has got, we in the UK as producers and DJ’s are getting our act together. 18 months ago things were a bit scrapp but now we could take on Europe and America. I’m happy the music has got more feeling again and all the dark thing is all over. After the dark come the light.

The people who pull the strings out there, the big boys, and we all know who we are talking about - the Progressive guys or whatever they want to call themselves, they are afraid to be near us. When we were playing the really mellow acid stuff they were slagging us off, not they are playing it, they say that is progression.

As I’ve said before it’s like regressive House!
At the end of the day we are all in the same business, people should pass things on to other people instead of keeping themselves to themselves. I don’t see Paul ‘Trouble’ Anderson on any major House gigs, they lock certain people out - Sasha, Oakenfold, them people are in it, realise House is big a try to make it their own. It doesn’t look good for the music, I can talk like this, when I’ve been abroad and heard how those guys have talked about us thinking Frost, Rider and them will never reach out here. We’ve been there and heard what they have said about us. All I can say is maybe one day everyone will get back together - whether I’m here or in America I’ll still be DJ’ing, who say’s 4 years from now I’ll be here, I might be in the States, that’s the way I’m thinking at the moment.

Is that something you have considered doing then?
I’m 26 now, I’m not going to be 35 and living in England, no way! If I wasn’t doing what I’m doing now I would have already gone.

So what are your plans for the future?
To push my ideas forward, always to do what I’m doing but look at doing other things as well. I would like to get into films and acting, a different direction.
