First, congratulations on your recent release from one of the most prestigious CD Series, Fabric 38 : M.A.N.D.Y. One can instantly appreciate the rich sounds and eclectic beats throughout the mix. What type of gadgets did you use to create this wide range of sound effects?

To be honest, not much. We just tried to pick tracks that have all this already. We picked 25 tracks, which is quite a bit for one CD, but it also makes the CD very diversified. Lots of changes. So, maybe that creates this impression.

When you first started throwing your own events you had Steve Bug as a regular headliner, who happened to mix the previous Fabric release. Did he set any standards for your work? If he did, do you feel you've met these standards with the Fabric 38 compilation?

At our own parties, he wasn’t headlining. We just played in the same club, Monza in Frankfurt, around 2000 or 2001, I guess. But of course, we knew his work from the beginning, and of course his collaboration with DJ T, which was an amazing track. So far, I haven’t heard his mix for Fabric. We were away for 2 ½ months by now and haven’t had too much access to electronic music. Full on break. But, I’ve only heard good things about it and for sure, I’ll listen to it when I come home.
