1. Strangely there has been nearly a Ten year gap between your last booking for Kinky Malinki and this one (in fact you played at our first EVER party). Quite a lot has changed over the years and in that time there isn't much that has alluded you musically. What do you miss from 10 years ago and what ambitions still remain unfulfilled for you?
I really miss Brookside. Ambition wise I still hope to star in movie with Patrick Swayze
2. You are quite renowned for having a ridiculously large amount of pseudonyms, in fact I'm sure you could hold a world record (where is Norris McWhirter when you need him......in fact don't answer that bit!!), are they simply to represent different facets of your productions or is there a more interesting side to it all?
People think the pseudonyms are about different musical styles but really I’m on the run from the police for several attempted mummifications in the Aberdeen area; luckily they haven’t twigged the connection with joey negro/ z records. However, I have been on crime watch a couple of times, but thankfully I was dressed as a woman
3. As well as the pseudonyms you are also often cited as The King of Disco, if you were stripped of that title and banned from being a King of a country what would you be King of??
Rubber. I’ve been trying to convince the BBE label to do a kings of rubber cd to follow on from the kings of disco myself and Dimitri put together a couple of years back, but they seem strangely indifferent. Dimitri is really up for it though
4. We've employed several house legends over the years at Kinky Malinki and a few have been a little rough around the edges and a few seem to still be on top of the game, without blowing too much smoke up ya bum, you seem to fall in to the latter category. What is your secret for keeping it real after many moons spent in dark sweaty clubs?
I think the secret is being passionate about and still enjoying really boring people. When I’m in the dj booth and I look out and see lots of people milling around looking pissed off I feel extremely powerful
5. Being in demand can obviously mean that you can turn down particular gigs and remixes, any that you care to spill the beans about?
I turned down Live Aid and the chance of producing the latest Michael Jackson CD; I was too busy perfecting the kick drum on my new Z Factor 12”
6. Over the years you must have amassed a hell of a lot of famous and probably now not so famous peoples phone numbers in the ol' black book. Who would we be most surprised to find in there? And is there anyone in there that you haven't contacted for years and thought "I really must drop them a line".
I’m really good friends with Philip Schofield, though I’ve not seen him since the proms
7. You will be headlining for us at Digital in Brighton and virtually every person that ply's their trade or resides in London seems to have a particular affinity with Brighton. Mine is the waffle's on a stick on the pier. What's yours??
I lost my virginity to a gypsy under the pier during the Second World War; luckily an air raid siren went of just as my trousers came down and covered up the screams
