It’s been great. Time really flies, especially when you’re on the road so much like me!

Well, no doubt winning the Grammy for my remix of John Legend’s All Of Me is the highlight. There have been other great moments too, like releasing my new mix album Club Life Vol. 4 – New York City and my residency at Hakkasan and Wet Republic In Las Vegas.

There is no typical week, but I guess it involves a lot of time on aeroplanes, playing a few shows a week, speaking with my management about new endeavours and taking care of my label.

I love Vegas so much and I’m there to the extent that it feels like a home to me. I like how from an entertainment and culinary perspective pretty much anything you want is at your fingertips. But on the other side, it’s in the desert, so I’m a short ride from solitude.

I think it’s still growing and you’re seeing a lot of different genres hitting the strip. It’s not only the big EDM guys playing. Now you are getting some awesome techno and deep house as well.

The fans are unique because ime, Vegas is so much a tourist destination, you don’t get so many regulars as much as you get a lot of travelling fans just looking for a great time while they’re in Vegas. They always go extra hard.

Of course, it felt great. It was really unexpected though and that made it even better.

I didn’t actually work with John. The way it came about was that I just really liked the song and decided to remix it.

In fact, it was first released as a free download. John liked it and then the track received a full release. So that’s the story.

Of course. For years Creamfields has been one of my highlights of the summer. So yes, I am extra pumped for this year.

I don’t remember, but it definitely couldn’t have matched Creamfields, that’s for sure.

Well, I think my sets have become pretty unpredictable because I’m a fan of so many dance genres and I’m not afraid to drop things fans might not expect in my sets.

Of course there are some tracks you can bet I will play, like some of the classics, but it’s really going to be about who I am past, present and future.

Sure. I have Tomorrowland, TomorrowWorld and my residencies in Las Vegas.

No, I’ll be too busy focusing on my residency and festival shows.

I’m always working in some way. Though when I do get to decompress it’s usually just me hanging out with some friends.

No, with travel and logistics I never get to see any of the performers.

Keep hydrated, So obvious, but so important.
