5- Hot Creations experience was just a moment or are you changing your style?
I try to offer a variety of music.Making tracks is about having fun and trying new things.The tracks for HC are examples of that. Lee and Jamie got rax from Seth Troxler that they started playing. They asked to release them and I said of course!
6- After reaching a very good status, as a DJ and Producer, whats your next goal as an ARTIST? Whats your next e.m. dream? As you said, the next thing you want to try on?
My label called Isnisnt, which will start this Spring. I have also been working on visual art and an album and play the guitar and piano better.

Thats an alter ego of mine. I am working on some new tracks for this project now. It’s more crazy house type stuff.

I dont. I try not to get involved with that sort of thing.

Happy and healthy, working on music and other things. Ideally surfing more than working.

Up’s and downs are what make life interesting. It would be monotone otherwise.Enjoy where you are at any given moment is best
