Tea or Coffee? Tea. Although, my sister gave me a George Clooney Coffee machine. It's cool but I'm still a tea man.
Comedy or Drama? Comedy. David Brent has always made me laugh. Who doesn't love a good laugh? I've a mate called Big Al, he always make me laugh. He's the funniest person I know. Laughing keeps you younger.
Friends or Lovers? I've always thought that you can tell a lot about a person if you meet their friends. Friends are really important to me. Lovers are different, but when you find the right one they become your most important friend for life.
Electric or Acoustic? Electric feel, Our Friends Electric, Electric Dreams, She's Electric… and on and on and Ariston. ‘Plug it in’ is a very important part of my world.
Up or Down? I'm always about the positives in life. You have to look up no matter where life takes you. The Cheesy Mantra “The only way is up” is bang on the money (thank you Yazz)
Poetry or Prose? Poerty in motion... Wordsworth, Yeats,Wilde, Dickinson, Allen Poe, Frost, Shakespeare’s sonnets, Guru (RIP), Biggie (RIP), Q-Tip, Ghost Face Killer, Chuck D, Nas, Big Daddy Kane, Krs-One and the king himself, Rakim...I love them all.
Dawn or Dusk? You know there's nothing like being in a club in a hot country when the sun rises. It's just uplifting... I remember this left-field art/music festival in West Cork years ago. We stayed in these small cottages that were surrounded by a cloud of mist, you couldn't see a thing. Carl Craig played live with Innerzone Orchestra but it was empty, we stayed up till the next day and as the sun rose it just opened up one of the most spectacular parts of Ireland I've ever seen...we were right by the sea. Sight or Sound? Sound. Without it I wouldn't exist. It wakes me up, it gets me motivated, it makes me cry, it makes me smile..it's everything. Food or Drink? Food, food, food. So little time, so many places in the world to eat and so many different foods to choose from. I love trying local food when I travel. Asian, Indian and French food...mmm.
Summer or Winter? Summer. Although, the Irish summers have been slack. Sunshine seems to melt all and any problems. I think it's the only thing holding Ireland back. We don't get enough of it and need the drink to balance things out. Showers or Baths? Showers. I never have a bath, just don't have the time. 15 minutes in the shower is like an extra hour’s sleep. Massive flower-heads are the way forward, I hate those pissy ones. If a hotel has an amazing shower then a lot can be overlooked. Analogue or Digital? Mixing the two is the way forward. We use a mixture of old synthesizers and modern production software like Ableton Live to create our tracks. It's where electronic music has always been and it's a great way of making music. Analogue for the fat sounds and digital for the quickness of arranging.
