1) Muzz, you are probably one of the most infamous interviewers on DSI, did you ever think you would be on the other end of the microphone and how does it feel?

One of the most infamous interviewers on DSI?! More like one of the most infamous lunatics!! I'm still waiting for some to zip up the back of my strait-jacket and lock me up in a room with soft padded walls!! But, seriously, it feels weird. I was never expecting to be on the other side of the microphone this early on in my DJing career - though, I AM flattered. I'm just waiting for you to turn around and go: "Oh shit. Sorry mate, I thought you were Femi B from Defected!"

2) We all know that clubbing and music has been a huge part of your life for the last 15 years, so how come your decision to apply your talents to the wheels of steel has come so recently?

Well, I've been obsessed with house music from a really early age - since I was 8. It sounds strange, I know. But when I say I had no friends at primary school as a result, it'll come as no surprise!! I guess, in the back of my mind, I always wanted to do it but the one set back was money. The tunes weren't a problem coz I'd been buying house since 1993 but the whole DJing set-up costs a lot of money and being a penniless northerner living in London, it was never gonna be easy to invest in them. Luckily, I had a couple of good breaks in the acting career which enabled me to finally afford to get 'em last year.

3) You have achieved a huge amount of success in your debut year, what has been your favourite gig so far?

Ooh, there's been a couple. Having my debut at Pacha was definitely my proudest moment. I think all DJs dream of playing at some of the world's finest venues, so to have my debut there was a very humbling experience. But, perhaps bizarrely, my favourite gig this year was at a bar in Clapham called Gigalum. SW4 had JUST finished in the Common and the bar was packed. The crowd were really up for it, the set went really well and the atmosphere was pure hedonism!

4) Do you think the worlds of acting and dj'ing share any similarities? Are you able to draw upon anything that you learned from acting and apply it to the dance floor?

Oh yeah, definitely. I think if you strip it down to the bare basics, acting and DJing are both about three crucial things: 1) Entertaining an audience. 2) Taking the audience on a journey. And, 3) Bringing your own persona to the forefront. In terms of applying stuff to the dancefloor, I just have an innate desire to entertain. That probably sounds really wanky - but it's true. I love enjoying myself behind the decks as much as people love enjoying themselves on the 'floor. I truly believe energy is contagious. If you're behind the decks having a great time - then it's like a domino effect.

5) And if you had to make the choice of being the next Robert De Niro or the next Sasha - who would you choose to be?

Haha! I'd love to be the next Sasha, but realistically, I think I'm gonna have to be that Raging Bull bloke!! Though, I think I'm going to have to be very diplomatic about this. I think it's becoming increasingly difficult to reach the dizzying heights of DJ super-stardom. The profession is heavily-congested - more than a traffic jam up the M6!! - and we've come to a point where to be 'famous' in our world, you probably need to have scored a few commercial hits through doing your own productions. Not that I wanna be famous - it's never been about that for me. But, inevitably, with success comes fame and recognition. I think there's more chance of me getting a regular role in Corrie than there is of me scoring a few Top Ten hits and then jetting off around the world to ply my trade. But, never say never, eh?? And who knows what tomorrow will bring??

6) You're renowned for having a love of house music's history, what is your favourite club/club night of all time?

Hmm. Favourite clubs in London would have to be Pacha and Turnmills. I've had some great 'lost in music' moments at both those clubs. With Pacha, it was Hed Kandi in the Mark Doyle days and at the 'Mills, it was with CJ Mackintosh's City Loud night. But with Ibiza, it's Pacha (again) and Space. So many people pluck for those two clubs and it's become a bit of an obvious answer - but that's a testament to how mighty these two Balearic clubs are. The fave is obviously Sundays at Space but, at Pacha, it has to be Paul Taylor's Retro - a house classics night which is enormous up north and, for me, encapsulates the spirit of house music. Forgotten classics and current anthems all drenched in an atmosphere that is so emotional it makes you wanna cry...

7) And your favorite record(s)?

Haha! I can see why all the DJs roll their eyes now when I ask 'em this question! There really are so many that it's impossible to choose. But, for the sake of this interview, I'd have to say: A Guy Called Gerald - 'Voodoo Ray', Family Foundation - 'Express Yourself', Nightcrawlers - 'Push The Feeling On', Tony De Vit - 'Burning Up', Subliminal Cuts - 'Le Voie Le Soleil', Xpansions - 'Move Your Body'....

8) How do you think the scene of yesteryear compares with today? Is it fair to say the much used phrase it's not as good as it used to be is indeed correct?

Crikey, I'm only 26! So, I'm not really in a position to say! I'm a bit torn on this. In some respects it's not, because back in the late 80's and 90's the whole scene was new to everyone and this thing called dance music was blowing people away. The whole 'E' thing exploded and everyone was caught up in the wonder of the music and the drug. Everyone seemed to party as one and there appeared to be no pretensions. There was SUCH an energy back then. The music wasn't divided up into loads of genres either. We've got a lot of classics from that era. But, the flip side to that is, in terms of the here and now, we are making our own history. We're going out and we're loving certain tunes and having some nights out which are truly mind-blowing. What's to say that these current anthemic tunes won't be classics in their own right in 10 years from now? And that, wasn't 'X' night at The Cross amazing and 'Y' night at Turnmills phenomenal? When these clubs are no more won't WE be reminiscing like people are now about Shoom and the Hacienda?

9) How would you describe your dj'ing style?

I don't really think I have a style. Although, what I'm about to say probably constitutes as a style in itself!! I love playing tunes that are really uplifting and catchy. Harping back to the old-skool side of things, there was a real energy and positive vibe in the music which I always try and encapsulate in my sets. For me, a good tune is a good tune - regardless of dance music genre. Be it funky, old-skool, electro, tech or acid house. I don't think we should play a tune because it's this genre or that genre - we should play that tune coz it rocks!

10) And what tunes can people be expecting to Get Diverted to this Saturday?

Just expect me to mix it up a fair bit. The beauty with Get Diverted's music policy is its variation. You've given me a licence to play whatever tickles my fancy, so expect me to adhere to that! I usually have to stick to genres when I'm DJing - so having the freedom to play what I want will be very liberating - both for me AND the clubbers in attendance - I hope!!
