If we could take care of all your commitments and gave you unlimited funds, what would you do next weekend?
Space tourism on a private plane with friends, family and good catering.If you could choose a superpower what would it be?
Hmm, the whole with great power comes great responsibility thing is a bit frightening. I mean, aren't I a DJ because I'm afraid of any, let alone great, responsibility?!
If you had to advise someone on a club/city/festival for a proper decent rave up where would it be?
There are so many great options. I've been the the least likely places and had a blast. I suppose it's nearly impossible to say. I think part of what's really helped me get along with Headtunes are the gigs I've had in Boston, whether in an afterhours gay club or on the street, the vibe has been spot on and the people were ready to have it. I think these sets among others over the last 6 years cemented my relationship and paved the way to their choice in having me mix 5+1.
What turns you on?
Independence, trust, innovation, creativity, exercise.
What turns you off?
Laziness, conformity, bland ideas and lack of creativity & originality.
What profession other than your own would you like to attempt?
I've been fortunate to have a steady day job that allows me to travel, I'm a marketing director for a concert promoter in Orlando. We hold over 300 events a year, it's quite stressful, but my bosses have both been traveling musicians in their younger years. I'd like to continue exploring marketing and new media in further depth.
If heaven exists, what would you like to hear God say when you arrive at the pearly gates?
You're late.
