How and why did you start to DJ?

What other genres off the house scene do you listen to?

Hip-Hop and R&B

 

The best live DJ set you've seen?

Stimming, because it's not a normal DJ set.. He basically does the production in front of you.

 

What was the first record you bought?

Haha too long ago to remember.. Was probably Justin Martin or Solid Groove / Switch

 

Taking into account the rapid rise in popularity of house music over the course of this year, what do you think about the house scene currently?

It's really big now, seeing that there are so many sub-genres too. But with that also comes a lot of really bad house, or at least I think its bad haha.

 

What advice would you give fellow up and coming producers like yourself?

Keep on producing and finish your tracks that you really like.. You never know who might be listening to it someday.

Lol anything he can get his hands on to start with, just to get to know the basics.

FL10. I tried out Reason and Ableton, even Cubase, but I keep going back to FL because I started producing on it since 2003.

 

In an ideal world what label would you like to be with?

Dirtybird. I don't know if it's a valid answer though, lol, seeing that I had a release, but as Munnibrotherz, with Rob Deep.

 

How do you rate 90s house music with todays?

These days there's more quality. Not saying the music from the 90s isn't good. Just the quality of production has a higher standard now.

 

What track would you play to rescue a dance floor?

Notorious n P.Diddy - Nasty Girl

 

Where do you dream of being in 5 years?

I actually wanna be a well known producer, like really well off in the next 5 years.. if that will happen, only time will tell

 

What next for you?

I'm just taking everything as it comes. I don't have anything big planned for future, even though I am in contact with big people haha.
