Nothing Changes for the New York king as he enters a Golden Era
Hi David. You have always recognised that the track that got you into dance music was Donna Summer 'I Feel Love'. What are your memories of the music industry's all time greats - what did she mean to you… "My memories are of listening and playing songs by artists that made you feel what they were singing about. Songs with memorable lyrics. Productions that made you swirl. Donna Summer was my introduction to the world of Disco. "I Feel Love" is a perfect example of a record that was way ahead of it's time because until this day that song can be played to even today's youth." What a way to return to the dancefloors with the incredible 'Golden Era' feat. Roisin Murphy, the first single from your new album 'Changes' due out this month Talk us through what is undoubtedly the stand out house record of the moment...
"WOW!! To hear you put it like that gives me goose bumps. I was introduced to Roisin through our agency last year in London. We hit it off, I sent her a few tracks and she wrote "Golden Era". I've always been a fan of Roisin so to record a track with her was an honor." The track comes with some big mixes, why did you pick these boys to rework the track?
"The most important thing for me is that I wanted people to mix my record who were not going to destroy it. People that "wanted" to mix it because of who was involved." How long has 'Changes' taken to create and was it recorded purely in NYC?
"Hahahaha! "Changes" was 3 years in the making. It was originally titled "Resurrection" but do to 'changes' around me lol it only felt right to retitle the album. The album was 99% recorded at Camp David in NYC. Only the vocals to "Golden Era" were done in London."
Tell us about the album, what are your personal highlights and who have your collaborated with…
"Obviously "Golden Era" is one of the highlights. There's Ultra Nate that has 3 songs on the album, Janice Robinson, Polina, Jonathan Mendelsohn and Tamra Keenan which sang on my last album. I've been blessed to have all of these talented artist on my album. It was alot of fun."
What significance has the title - what is behind the name?
"It signifies the 'changes' that I have been through during the making of this album."
Do you still have the same passion for packing your bag every Friday and heading off around the world to DJ? What is keeping that fire burning?
"I still have a passion for what I do. I never got into it for the fame or the money. It's why I'm still here. It's in my blood. Even with the new technology. I embrace it and take it all to the next level. I love to play and watch the audience enjoy themselves."
What clubs have stood out for you so far in 2012?
"Peter Pan in Riccione Italy. Club Vision in Tokyo. Vanguard in Los Angeles. Stereo in Montreal and Provocateur in NYC."
What clubs are you looking forward to hitting around The Mediterranean this summer? Where are your favourite places to hang out in Italy for instance?
"I love to hang out in Riccione. Of course looking forward to Pacha in Ibiza as always. Cavo Paradiso in Mykonos and also Super Paradise in Mykonos." Your career started when you were 13, borrowing friend's turntables as you couldn't afford your own. What was your musical style back then?
"I was spinning funk and disco."
