There's actually two. The number one is going to be a tie between anywhere in Tokyo because there clubbing is not a clubbing experience it's a religious experience. They don't go for the lights; they go to literally cut-a-rug like you wouldn't believe. And there's a club called the Sub Club in Glasgow which was one of the first clubs I played overseas. It's amazing. I've never seen five hours fly by in what seems like forty-five minutes. When it goes by that quickly it's just amazing and you know everyone's had a great time.
What are some of the artists in heavy rotation in your iPod when you're not working? What do you listen to just for fun?

This whole business kind of cuts into the pleasure of it. I'll listen to anything jazz. I have a ten-year-old daughter so the Kids Pop series is quite popular. My son is 3, going to be 4 in a couple weeks, so I've had to get another iPod so he can keep his musical tastes in check.

The Wiggles or whoever three year olds are listening to now?

The Wiggles. Have you ever heard of Crazy Frog? Oh my, he just lives for that stuff. He's obviously following in big sister's footsteps when it comes to music. But, personally, I have to listen to so much new product coming in, unfortunately it kind of makes you immune to it. It's hard to find something that takes you out of that frame.

I noticed you're only official Web presence is a MySpace Page. Is there a reason you went that route and not something more flashy?

It just got to the point I ended up forwarding my domain to my Myspace. It's just much easier to deal with. It works. You get the traffic. You can see how much your music is played. It's fairly easy to maintain. It's more difficult to responds to everyone who messages you, especially since I try to limit how much time I spend online.

What's next?

An album, for sure. It's been about 11 years since the last one. I keep doing projects that get the attention of labels who want to put it out. Right now it's a slew of remixes. It seems like it's the year of the remixes. I'm doing stuff for Mathew James. I have a lot of future remixes for Ohm Records. Agave and I are talking about doing another single release. But that is the ultimate goal and I want to at least have 20% to 30% of it done by the end of the year.
