- Life: when was the moment you figured out that Dance Music was meant to you?

I figured out that dance music was for me, when there were no parties I wanted to go to because they were lacking elements that I saw as essential... new sounds, venues, lighting, experiences. That’s when a group of friends and I first realized that this could be for us! We had a vision and we made it and continue to make it happen through PL0T - at least we hope!

- Laugh: when was the last time you had real fun?


Every time I travel far out it becomes a dive in experience, far out meaning Asia, Australia, Burning Man places where technology is not on top of mind and I’m able to disconnect in order to absorb and get inspired by everything I see and feel. Add to that a magic chocolate and you wont stop laughing :)

However, each of our nights are really my sanctuary and after 3:00AM, once you know everything is going smooth, it’s then when the real dancing happens!

- Love: name the one think you love more than anything – and why is that?

My dogs! They show me each day lessons of love, compassion, nowness, respect and that the world is more simple than what we make it.

- Past: name a significant moment in your career in Dance Music – and why is that?

My first Art Basel Life and Death event. Was a huge milestone to be able to host such a respectable label. The trust put on you to deliver a successful event by the agents, managers and artists is a huge weight to carry.

- Present: what do you thing that is trending today in music, clubs and festivals?


In electronic music big room sounds are trending heavy, which are sounds created 5-6 years ago by labels like Innervisions and Life and Death, but they have evolved into other sounds (the labels) and people are now getting what they were into 5 years ago... it’s part of it all. Takes time for crowds to adjust to newness.

In festivals Amsterdam has taken the lead, their world class productions and lineup curation is incredible. Diversity I would say is trending in festivals for clubs. When it comes down to big clubs, the trend is to mimic the waves that small rooms have been working on for years, bc they've seen that the big room formula is no longer as desired as it was before.

- Future: where is industry heading in the years to come?

You never know which shifts the industry might take but its all of our responsibility (party goers, promoters, press, managers, artists, etc) to take our part and shape it to the best it can ever be. I know I will continue to push the boundaries in my market for new and fresh experiences, regardless of what that might imply.
