What moments will you never forget?

There have been so many this year so its hard to pick one, I would say BRK3, Wragg & Log;One, Shock:Force, Andrea Montorsi

What's been your favourite label of the year?

I'm going to have to say IHDS!

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

probably BRK3 - L3T G0 which is out early January on ITDS (sublabel of IHDS) really clever original piece of music with techy vibes and very catchy vocals!

What's been your favourite event of the year?

Probably Defqon One down to the organisation and production. Also Creamfields was extra special this year as the tent was packed from start to finish!

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

Touring the USA with Fausto back in February with our trip to Las vegas! I took a stint of driving the car on the other side of the road and Ive never seen anyone so scared whist I was passing trucks with about 1 cm gap on other side of the road! haha oops!
