Noir Secret track weapon for making any club go mental? Right now it’s a bootie I did of Deee-lite's "Groove Is In The Heart". Wildest Ibiza memory?

Who was it? I haven’t been given that much advice, but I got one recently from Simon Dunmore (Managing Director of Defected Redords), which made me think for a long time and actually change a few things professionally. He said, "Don’t lose track of who you are and what you represent with your music and your label (Noir Music)." Describe your sound at the moment in one sentence. Melancholic, heavy on the beats and basslines and super sexy. What are you looking forward to most this summer? I am in the process of finishing my album, which I will be working on all summer.

And of course, travelling the world for great club gigs, festivals my many dates at Ibiza this year.
