When you began making music, did you plan to be so well received in Britain?
Well, I didn't plan it but I hoped it obviously. The music I make has more of a UK feel to it than a German feel and I knew the UK would respond better.

Most people who are into your music have made you an Honorary British citizen … other than Alec Empire, who has a totally different sound to you, there aren't many Germans or Europeans to have become so successful over here … do you therefore feel your music has quite a worldwide sound?
Well I think the music my production partner Martin and I make together is universal in the sense that it's funky and dancing is universal but as I mentioned it didn't have a very German sound so it's taken a lot longer to take off there than in the UK or the states.

How long have you been making music for?
I first went into a studio eight years ago

How do you take to today's music scene in general … particularly in the UK there has been a total rock revival … do you like all the different sounds of today?
I've been fascinated by music for so long that I have seen it change styles and fashions so much. I've always liked all the different styles there are.

What are you listening to at the moment?
The new Red Hot Chilli Peppers and lots and lots of new dance music. I think that takes up most of my time. Listening to new 12"'s

What are your ultimate goals in music?
To keep being fresh and in demand hopefully
