Midi Distortion - My Year In Hard Dance

What's been your biggest achievement of the year?

I think playing in the AWsum arena at Atomik 2 for sure, as i have never played a weekender at all and to get straight into one of the main arenas was a real good thing.

What moments will you never forget?

Playing Heavens Die after the tidy boys for my first track @ Resistance but managing to mix it into heavens cry which was there last track and the reaction was amazing, That was back when i used to play harder.

Who's been your favourite newcomer of the year?

I know he may not be a proper newcomer but this year i really think Jon BW has churned out some serious tunage.

Who's been the artist of the year for you?

I Would have to say either Maddox(Olive Grooves), Scott Fo Shaw, Tom parr or Jon BW

What's been your favourite label of the year?

It has to be Tidy, i know it is massivly expected for people in hard house to to say Tidy but i have loved so many of the tracks out this year on the funky side of things, they are really paving the way again for that funky party sound.

What do you think has been the best track of the year?

I think my fave track just for sheer quirkyness and fun has to be Tom Parr - Ladyboys

What's been your favourite event of the year?

Probably have to say either Atomik 2 or Bounce2this! when it went back to the sanctuary. unfortunatly i dont get to make it out to many events unless im playing at them which is a real shame as i would have loved to have been at insomniacz or Magna but have been truely credit crunched this past year.

What's the funniest thing that's happened to you?

oh dear depends what you mean, weather i found it funny or other people found it funny and laughed at me which happens alot, after a great set @ Resistance me and my girlfriend decided to go home rather worse for wear, on the way home she decided she wanted some chips so i being a gentleman asked the taxi driver to stop and jumped out, ran to the nearest takeaway to get her food only to be greeted by a slimy kebab rapper on the floor outside the FULL takeaway slipping on my arse and twisting my knee spending nearly 4 hours in A+E. Smooth move

What do you have planned for the next year?

My plans for the next 12 months are to work on my Alias alot more (watch this space) and to really push with gigs etc as what i play is perfect for the warm up stages of a night and there isnt many out there that play proper warm up, to me it all still seems a bit hard sometimes for warm up ;)
