Hiya Simon, so what have been the highlights for you so far in 2006?

This has been a great year so far for me. Being made Inside Out resident would be up there and also the success of F16.

This time next year, what ambitions would you like to of fulfilled?

Just to keep moving and pushing forward each year is all I look to achieve.

What would you say best describes your sound?

Driving, tech trance, with elements of psy and uplift about them.

Is there a big clubbing scene back home in Northern Ireland and do you get back to play there much?

The scene back home is popular but there are only a few big clubs worth playing at. These clubs are filled each week with the crème of Dj talent so its hard to get a space to play. I try and play there 2 or 3 times a year. The atmosphere in Ireland is ridiculous.

What do you think in general with the scene in London?

I haven't been playing in London much this year which has been very refreshing for me. This is the way I wanted it. I got sick of playing in London so much at the end of last year seeing the same faces etc. But now that I haven't played here much I want to play again! It's always the way. In general I find London too cool. There's not always the right vibe.

What are the top 3 clubs you have played in the world and why?

1. Inside Out - No better place in the world. Atmosphere is unreal. People are friendly and so supportive.

2. Honeyclub in Brighton - Now that they have revamped the place it reminds me a little of The Cross, the crowd are close to you, intimate atmosphere. The sound

system is rocking. Again the atmosphere is brilliant. Everyone going nuts!

3. Judgement Sundays - Like Inside Out. I just like playing places that have the right sort of vibe about them. I want to leave the club happy that everyone's enjoyed it and that I've enjoyed it. That's the most important factor to me when I play - everyone loving it.

Did you always think Dogzilla - Without You was going to be such a huge track?

No we both didn't think that it would have been. I was worried about the leap from "Your Eyes" to "Without You". I thought people weren't going to be getting the vocal at all. But the track hasn't gone away. PVD has been hammering it. Number 1 2 months in a row in his Mixmag chart. It's good that it's stood the test of time.

Very Pleasing. Grateful for all the support.

Do you have much more Dogzilla material planned for this year?

With the Dogzilla thing, its just getting the time. We just finished a remix called Stimulate by an artist called Emjay. Its coming out on Perfecto in the UK. I think it's by far the best thing we've done. Dogs 4 is well in the making but we're taking our time getting it right. And we're just about to start a remix for Vandit. So a few bits coming up this year. But concentrating more on my own stuff at the moment.

Do you still get to go clubbing much, and what Dj's do you admire?

I don't get much chance to go clubbing at all. So I don't get a chance to see many Dj's play. But I was playing at Gods Kitchen recently, I checked out the house room and heard a DJ called Demi(?) play - very impressed. Mixing and crowd control were awesome. Never heard of him before but I'm told he's quite well known. One of the few Dj's that I have seen who has made a big impression on me. Greg Downey, O'Callaghan, Van Doorn. All ripping! But best Dj is without question Halliwell - different league. Can't understand how anyone can think differently?!

So tell us about the renowned crowd at 'Inside Out' who you are the new resident for?

They are just so up for it. It's the closest you'd get to scoring a goal in front of a packed football stadium. Its just a sight that has to be experienced to understand. If there's one club in the world that I could only ever play at again - this would be it.

Are you looking forward to playing for us at Electronic Sessions, have you played at Deep Blue before?

I can't wait to play. I haven't been in London for a few months so I'm buzzing about playing again. I've never played at Deep Blue either so it's going to be fresh for me. I'm looking forward to checking Andy Moor too!

Your recent track F16 has been recently been released. How has it gone down in the clubs?

It's been fantastic! I couldn't have asked for any more support on the track. Everyone's been playing it and managed to enter the buzz chart so I'm so chuffed with the outcome. New one done, a lot different to F16. Will play it on the night!!

What football team do you support?

The mighty Spurs. Robbie Keane - legend!

What countries are you yet to play that are a must for you?

Japan, Australia and Eastern Europe are real musts for me. USA I need to play more in. But I'm just grateful to be playing anywhere. Its all a bonus.

So what can we expect from your set at Electronic Sessions?

Drilling, tech trance.

And finally do you have any message to the ES party crew?

Get there early, it will be a lock-out!
