What's been your biggest achievement of the year?

I had a wonderful year, with 8 original releases, 3 remixes and 3 compilations. It’s been great to see my tracks supported by the big guys at their gigs or radio shows. I had a lot of releases on my label Couture that has been also signed to Spinnin, leaving me to A&R. I was lucky to DJ in amazing places like Las Vegas, Ibiza at some amazing parties but the biggest achievement of this year was getting a spot in the Top 100 Djs and I am very grateful to everybody out there who supported me.

What moments will you never forget?

Every moment spent on the stage represents something magical for me. When I am up there, it's like I step into a different dimension, everything around me changes.

Who's been your favourite newcomer of the year?

Ben Gold is the one who impressed me most this year. He has had an outstanding level of releases this year and his work and determination took him a long way.

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

Sander van Doorn is an artist that ticks all my boxes. Everything he touches turns into gold, and I really admire his work.

What's been your favourite label of the year?

I was fortunate to work with great names such as Spinnin and Armada. The level of promotion they work at is impressive.

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

Cirez D - Glow, it's still on repeat in my car. I just can't stop listening to it.

What's been your favourite event of the year?

The parties that impressed me most this year have to be the ones in Ibiza and Las Vegas. Ibiza, because that island is magical for me and the party at Eden, for the Judgement Sunday event just gets better and better. The crowd manages every time to transpose feeling of happiness. As for the Rain party at The Palms in Las Vegas...now, thats what I call a light show. The lasers and lights seem out of this world.

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

Ive had marriage proposals many times by clubbers on the dance floor, but the funniest moment was when a guy actually came with an engagement ring also. I showed him my real engagement ring and wedding ring and refused his proposal.

What do you have planned for the next year?

2011 it’s gonna be more work in the studio to create new tracks. My dairy looks to be filling up nicely with gigs all around the world. I have a lot of new tracks that need to be finished off and will be ready for release early next year. I promise the follow up to Contrasts with Sied van Riel will be released early in the year, few collaborations with great producers, I am also starting my podcast from January, which I intend to make it consist of live sets recorded at my gigs and of course will end the year with the second Haute Couture compilation. It’s gonna be an extraordinary year, full of surprises and I intend to live every minute to the maximum.
