How do you think your sound has changed since you first started out?<\/strong><\/p>\n

From the attitude and the vibe, I haven't really changed at all. As a DJ, I like checking stuff like old school rough tracks. I\u2019m a big fan of records that don\u2019t sound clean. I have a big collection of house and techno music like this – about 15,000 records. But I've learnt a lot over the last years as a producer.<\/p>\n

What was the first record you ever bought?<\/strong><\/p>\n

My brother sent me out to get a vinyl when I was five or six years old – the song was called Put Your Hands Together<\/a> by D Mob. <\/p>\n

What was the record that made you want to become a DJ?<\/strong><\/p>\n

One of them was Thomas Bangalter's Trax on the Rocks<\/a>. And his first EP on his label, when I heard it I was going crazy. I was like 14, 15.<\/p>\n
