Talking of studio, you have a huge release out now on Plus recordings called Nightmare. Tell us a little more about that record.
My new release, Nightmare, is the track that got my name out big time, it was Dawn's favorite track at one point. Everyone knew Tech Twin as the person who made nightmare. The people loved it and the track just when absolutely crazy on the scene. And to be fair got me where I am now.
You are currently a resident at The biggest after hours party within the South Circular. Tell us more about how long you’ve been doing that and if you could describe the event to our readers in three words what would they be?
I’ve been a Resident DJ at DAWN now for two years and it's been amazing. I can 100% say it's the best after hours party in London by far. There’s no better. The music, the vibes, the people who regularly attended everything is just right. We play mainly the Minimal Techno sound and that's just what the people who come to continue, or at times begin, their Dancing session. If I had to describe in three words I would say…… an epic, amazing experience. To be fair it’s all good me sitting here saying it’s epic, it’s amazing and what not, but once the people come out and experience it, they will understand.
Who has been your biggest inspiration throughout your career?
This is a hard one because there are so many to pick from. There are so many DJ’s that have had an impact on me. There’s a DJ who some people may or may not know his name, is Maxsim Dark. He's got that minimal techno sound, every track he’s released, I’ve bought. He uses mad little sounds which always seem help my creative thinking when writing songs. I would have to say him. Obviously there are so many others that have had an impact on me but I would say his sound is what I find myself really listening to closely.
Can you name 3 tracks that you're currently listening to in your free time?
I can't really answer that question. I don’t really sit there listening to the same songs, I find so much new music, I literally listen to hundreds of songs over a short period of time so I can't really name three songs just like that.
I do know what you mean I’m asking questions that I possibly couldn’t answer! So what’s next for you?
Well Tech twins used to be a duo act and Ive recently just became a solo act. Since doing that I’ve been signed by Sebastian Ledher to Play Groove Recordings which is based in Madrid. I released my first EP with them, it’s about just getting more and more tracks out there to different sorts of labels. The bookings from abroad have started to come in, so we are looking at really giving that a big push. Basically it's just about getting the music to the people, I've got so many tracks that our unsigned that right now the focus is getting the music to the fans via the appropriate labels.
