Thank you for being flexible with the online format. Lets go with 10 questions. I'm sure that will be enough to cover the basics and leave more for the future!

Let’s start from the beginning. When did you start playing music, and why techno?

I started playing music when I was 15 after getting my first guitar. I was obsessed with Nirvana and always dreamed of making albums. In my 30s I played Irish banjo for a few years and went to lots of Irish trad and singing sessions, but it turned out I was barking up the wrong tree. It never really clicked with instruments. Seven years ago, at 37, I discovered grooveboxes and techno and was instantly hooked. Better late than never!

Wow, that is crazy! Do you remember the moment when it all clicked?

Yeah I do. I was at home with Flu. I never heard of a groovebox before. I thought electronic music was made on computers. Then the Youtube algorithm sent me a Groovebox video ... ''what the fuck is that ??'' It was a Teenage Engineering OP-1 in the hands of Jeremy from Red Means Recording. It looked and sounded like the best craic ever, ''I need one !!'' ... 10 minutes later I had a groovebox app on my phone and I was off making beats and hoovering up all the info I could on gear, artists, genres, scenes, history of electronic music and synths. Been at it everyday since!!
