Neal Thomas - My Year In Hard Dance

What's been your biggest achievement of the year?

Id have to say getting a full page review in Mixmag, or the success of my productions.

What moments will you never forget?

2009 has been a big learning curve for me, so I definitely won't forget the things (good and bad) I have learned!

Who's been your favourite newcomer of the year?

The Technicians. The have great taste in music, plus play perfectly to their set times. Also, Id have to say Shaun T. He has a great desire to keep on learning and pushing his abilities as far as he can. Watch out for this lot!

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

I would have to say some of the tech dance artists: Yoji, Joe-E & Scott Attrill.

What's been your favourite label of the year?

Thats tough.. I would have to say a few: Audio Surgery, Traffic and Tidy.

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

Can I say one of my own? haha. Id have to say my favourite track is PyroTechno. Its been smashing dance floors up and down the country for months, and has had a huge buzz about it for ages. It is finally out now, so make sure you buy it! ;o)

What's been your favourite event of the year?

The best event I went to was just recently actually. It was Kiddfectious vs Judgement Sundays at the Warehouse Project. It had such a buzzin atomsphere all night, like the old days.

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

Getting lost. I always leave for sets with plenty of time to spare, but always get lost, even with a Sat-Nav! I always end up gettin into the club with a few mins to spare before my set! haha.

What do you have planned for the next year?

Ive got quite alot planned actually, Ive got a lot more productions, hopefully some tours/visits to other countries too. Ive got plans for a new label, and a new enhanced Dj set. Watch this space!
