First of all, how did you get into this wonderful game we call the music industry ?

Bascially through the love of the music. Nightclubbing was the beginning from the early age of 10. The local club used to open up on a Saturday afternoon for the kids and thats where I was every single Saturday until I was old enough to go to the proper nights. Discovered raving in 89/90... from then on I was hooked with the repetitive beats.

Which of your many styles that you play, do you prefer to play out ?

It has to be the new HCB (Hardcore Breakz). This stuff drives me wild and the dancefloor goes crazy too it. This style is slowly but surely creeping into E.Anglia but find that London has many nights with this music attached to it.

What do you love to listen to at home ?

I have a wicked Internet Tuner on my PC (c/o Pete from hardcorelives.co.uk) that I sit and flit through most days. There are so many stations out on the net, its amazing. Make sure you download it asap, its a def must-have for all music lovers. You can even record from it staright onto your PC. (Download the Radio Tuner for free here)

In your opinion where does the future of dance music lie ?

Bit of a tough question that one. I would like to see vinyl kept going but I know that the CDJ's are taking over big stylee. Can see there being "Vinyl Only" nights soon...without a CD in sight. I think that alot of DJ's out there have got to up their game if they want to stay in the business i.e. producing music as well as playing it, also making sure that they entertain whilst behind the decks. Nothing worse than seeing a head-down DJ not looking or interacting with the people/crowd.

Do you have any fond memories that stand out from previous Unity events?

Yes i do....I think it was the second gig that I played. I actually got the bouncers dancing/bopping about. One of them came up to me after my set and said "Your not bad for a bird are ya!", so I happily gave him a CD. A year or so later I found out it was one of my mate's Dad.

What is your all time top-10 record list ?

This question I really cannot answer and one i get asked alot along with my favourite tune of all time. And I always reply with I have too many Top 10's....more like Top 1000

What is your favourite place in the world?

Home with my family and all my lovely yummy friends around me

What would you save in an emergency - photographs or records?

Records of course

What are you recovery tips after a big night out ?

Don't go to sleep until you have too... Sleeping is for quitters.

Thanks very much to Unity favourite Vinyl Vera for taking time out to talk to Mr Happy & Mr Genocide.
