- Hi Dave, thanks to make this great mix for me! I would like to ask a few questions if u don't mind. What's your musical background?
- All my family are really in to their music, I learned to play the piano and saxophone from around the age of 10 and grew up listening to all sorts of music. It was my older brother that really got me into jungle and drum and bass in the late 90's. I was a bit young to be going out clubbing back then but I got hooked on the music through listening to his cassette packs of raves like Best of British and One Nation from back in the day. He had some 1210's and a good collection of vinyl and I just fell in love with drum and bass from then.

- I know it's a quite general question but can you tell me which dnb tune was the first one you've ever heard?
- That's a tough one! I couldn't put my finger on one but a tune which stands out as being memorable is the Alliance remix of Champion Sound by Q Project.

- Why do play and produce liquid?
- I'm not a huge fan of the 'liquid' label but I’ve always been drawn more in to the melodic, atmospheric side of drum and bass that you can get lost in, but as long as it has a good vibe and makes your head nod that's all that matters.

- When did you start to produce music?
- I first dabbled with production software in 2002.

- Who are your favourite dnb producers?
- Too many but top 5 would include: Calibre, LTJ Bukem, Lenzman, Alix Perez, Break.

- What does make them special for you?
- They are all just top quality producers who have the knack of making banging tunes that I’m equally happy listening to on headphones or on a big club system.

- Thanks once more Dave!
