What's been your biggest achievement of the year?

Playing at some of the most amazing summer festivals this year. I’m also proud of staying sane whilst dealing with a relentless tirade of crazy travel situations.

What moments will you never forget?

The passion of the crowds this year has been immense. I will never forget seeing so many people with one shared love of the music.

Who's been your favourite newcomer of the year?

Arty

Who's been the artist of the year for you?

Ashley Wallbridge

What's been your favourite label of the year?

I like to sign my favourite tracks to my own label AVA recordings, but I shouldn't say that it's my favourite. Anjuna has had a good year as always.

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

Arty - Hope

What's been your favourite event of the year?

ASOT450 in Wroclaw, Poland was great.

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

In Croatia, people were throwing T-shirts and other items for me to sign, some people further back wanted in on the action but there is only so far T-shirts would travel so someone threw a flipflop from quite a distance. I watched this flipflop all the way as it travelled through the air and landed directly on the loop button, where I had a stutter effect setup. Luckily it was at a point in the track where the stuttering effect sounded quite good, so I / he got away with it and I released the loop at a relevant point. I threw it back to him and it landed in his drink, so all things even themselves out.

What do you have planned for the next year?

I'm halving my tour schedule for at least 6 months from January to get some solid studio time in, finish my album and work on more production. I'm really looking forward to it and feel really positive about the year ahead. I spend alot of time on each production, and there just wasn't time to balance it all up properly in 2010. In 2011 production will be fighting back so expect lots of new music :)
