Where did you get your DJ Name from?
I like many things. After all, variety is the spice of life.

Current styles played?
At the moment I'm playing a lot of hard trance, makina (spanish hardcore) and happy hardcore.

Styles played in the past?
Some ragga jungle, trance, old-school house and deep house.

Years of experience acquired in General?
I have been following the whole electronic music scene for a long time but i started spinning (for real) in the summer of 2001.

Years of experience acquired on the rave/party scene?
Two years.

What was the first club/party you started spinning at?
Little underground raves. I liked em back then but now, i wish to move to Europe and play in their clubs.

Equipment used (turntables - cds - gear)?
Two Technics SL1200 turntables, i NEED a third!
Vestax PCV275 mixer
I also have alot of studio and production equipement. Check out the website for more details.

Favorite record labels?
Tidy Two, Bulletproof, Bit Music and Uptempo.

Current favorite DJs & those that have inspired you since the beginning?
The Cheesemaker a.k.a. Tipsy and, lately, Javi Tracker, a spanish dj who inspired me to start playing on 3 decks, barcelona style.

When did you first experiment with decks and mixing vinyl at home?
A long time ago

How many places have you DJed at?
Many, raves and a residency at a local bar/arcade

What was the first vinyl you bought when you started spinning?
A 5-pack of records that were played at a Berlin Love Parade.

What is your most prized vinyl in your collection?
My old disco records and an autographed Buzz Fuzz record.

What's your favorite aspect of your job?
Making people dance and controlling people's minds and bodies with the tracks i play.

When you hear other DJs, do you ever judge their talent, or do you just try to enjoy the music?
It's very hard for me to JUST listen. It's instinctive for me to analyze everything I listen to.

Do you consider doing production (your own music) in the near future?
I've been playing with production equipement longer than I've been spinning.

What do you think the future holds for you?
6000 chicken fajitas. Seriously, more gigs and bookings in Europe.
