Lange

What’s The Best Night Out You’ve ever Had?
That’s a tough one, I really can’t choose and probably shouldn’t go into detail anyway.

What’s Your Favourite Club?
I have several: one of the more unusual one’s is Club 11 in Amsterdam.  It’s a restaurant on the 11th floor of a derelict high rise building that turns into a club.  Really nice food, and tasty music.

What’s Your Favourite Record Of All-time?
Baby bird – ‘Your Gorgeous’.  Superb.

What Record Can’t You Stand?
Bryan Adams – ‘Everything I do’.  I recall it being in the charts for 4 years….

What Record Did You Lose Your Virginity Too?
I haven’t found the right record yet.  I’m saving myself.

What Was The Last Record You Bought?
Can’t remember… was probably something from Beatport.

Name Three Of Your Biggest Influences…..
Originally it was the early trance from labels like Perfecto, Hooj Choons, & platipus.  More recently I’m being inspired by classical music as well as electro & minimal. Oh… and of course, I have to mention the KLF.  Iconic.

Who Would Play You In ‘Lange’ The Movie’
Probably Woody Allan unfortunately.

What’s Your Dream?
I’m currently living it to a point.  Travelling the world, writing music, having great friends and a lovely girlfriend.  If I could I’d tweak it a little though.  I’d be living on a beautiful island, with an apartment and a studio on the beach. Who wouldn’t?

How Do You Escape?
Silence!  I try and grab some when I can.  I don’t do it enough, but getting out into the countryside is the perfect escape. I visited Iceland this year for a holiday, it was a beautiful place, dramatic landscapes etc.  You could stand on a hillside and hear the ringing in your ears!

What Is Your Favourite Possession?
My JD800 synth.  I don’t really use it anymore (and didn’t use it on my brand new album ‘Better late Than Never’) but it’s a great looking synth with all it’s sliders and orange LEDs.  I’m a nerd, I know.

What Is Your Life Philosophy?
Think the worst and you’ll never be disappointed!

What’s In Your Pockets?
Mobile phone, Keys, £2.27, and a little bit of fluff. Oh, and an ipod with my new album that’s out now, called ‘Better Late Than Never’ on.

If You Were An Animal, What Animal and Why?
A donkey.

You Are Having A Party, Whom Dead Or Alive Is On The Guest List?
Depends on what sort of party.  Here’s a few random possibles….
Ricky Gervais, Ronnie Woods & Brandon Block (for the rematch), Bob Mortimer, Nadia Almada (She may sing), Robbie Williams (If he promises not to sing), Peter Griffin,  Jeremy Beadle, Michael Palin & Ronnie Barker (if it were a more civilized dinner party style thing)!

When Was The Last Time You Embarrassed Yourself?

Tell Us Something That We Don’t Know About ‘Lange’
I secretly go to minimal nights… don’t tell my trance peers will you.
