Interview by Dan Prince

 

Nick a massive welcome back to DMCWORLD…where on planet earth are you today?

Today Dan I am in Shanghai…

The first piece of good music you heard this morning after jumping out of bed?

The soundtrack of Despicable Me 3, fell asleep on the plane to it…

Loving your collab with Mightyfools entitled ‘Keep It Low’…talk us through the sound of the track…

Thank you! This record was my take on the current garage / future house influences out there, with Mightyfools adding some finishing touches it’s a fun record

Also smashing your sets at the moment is your debut on the mighty Armada with ‘Lost’, your brand track made with VASSY and featuring Oliver Rosa and now again with ‘New Memories’. Collaborating with DubVision. What’s the story there?

You know, I like to make music consistently but recently chose to also release that music, I just hope my fans can enjoy my different sides too.

3 big tunes in your box this weekend…

J Balvin & Willy William – Mi Gente (Cedric Gervais Remix) – easy broad ‘crowdpleaser’ to start off the vibes

A$AP Ferg – Plain Jane – My favorite hiphop / rap track right now, worked it into a trap mashup for USA part of the tour, always brings out the riot gang

Hardwell & Afrojack ft. MC Ambush – Hands Up – Festival boomer that always peaks during the set

Your racing highlight of the summer?

Gumball 3000 on the new freeway through Greece!

Tell us about your Ibiza summer this year, the island continues to evolve – this season it was all about Hi Ibiza…what are your thoughts?

Had to get warmed up to it in the beginning but the love grew, end of the season I felt super happy there, hope to be back there next year!

Biggest tune of the summer?

I started playing Reload again by Sebastian Ingrosso and Tommy Trash because I still love it so much, and apparently so do the fans

You also have your track “Dirty Sexy Money’ out now with David Guetta featuring Charli XCX and French Montana,we are all over this…

Thanks, again, I always like to diversify and this was a lot of fun to do!
