12.What do you think of the scene within the Uk and then Europe? Is it encouraging, or have we still a lot to learn from the Americans?
This includes DJs .....as well as producers

Unfortanately I think the music scene in the Uk is pretty fucked up.
There aren't many promoters around anymore who want
to advance and develop the musical sound of their club or area.
Many of them have the "One track" minds of "Bums on seats"
and don't really care who they have in their clubs.

It all has a bit of a knock on effect.
When the clubbers are saturated with "Unvetted" Clubbers,
the real clubbers don't want to visit the clubs anymore
, the club loses its edge and becomes "Middle of the Road".
The majority of the scene is like this, its fucked! There are only a few underground clubs left!

13.Which giant within this world of House music would you like to work with ?
Masters of Work, Tony Humpheries, Blaze,
Frankie Knuckles, Victor Simmonelli,MK... who and Why?

14. Who are you favourite artists within this music

The one real Dj I've respected throughout is Roger Sanchez
This is because of his his ever developing style or producing
and his flawless mixing ability. I'd love to work with him in the near future.

Who do you rate as one to look out for the future within the world of Garage and House music?

Tee Smith of course!!! Apart from me Gareth Cooke (Uno Clio)!!!
