Hi Danny, how's things?

Cool, just working as per usual.
 
We recently heard about the closure of your label In-flight Entertainment, after some storming releases. What's the story???

When I set up the company, there were certain people involved that were on the same wavelength. As with everything I do, I like to make sure that things are on my terms so I can put 100% in. Since starting In-flight, a lot of the original people I was working with had left the company. Obviously this meant that the company changed and inevitably expectations and the like changed. It's not to say I disliked the changes or anything but, like I said, I need things on my terms to make them work properly, and I found myself in a situation where things weren't, so the deal was terminated. It's a shame but I always look to future, not the past, so things are cool...
 
It is a shame... You've always been behind labels so any plans for a new one???

Nah, not for now. I've realised that I can't give the attention to everything I do if I spread myself too thinly. Its fine "fronting" a company and still getting on with music and DJing etc.., but if I'm making music, DJing, doing the radio thing as well as running a label at the minute, I think it would be difficult. I'd rather concentrate on my current projects, which are enough for now!
 
Speaking of your projects, what is the situation with the Soul Electric album you've been working on??

I really wanted to make a diverse artist album with Soul Electric. No disrespect to anyone doing dancefloor albums at all -  my current project is working out that way and, believe me, there have been some wicked ones this past year, but I wanted to do something that people would be able to listen to without having to sit through long intros and outros made for DJs. It's not always possible to just chop the beginning and end off as some records are not built to work in that way. Also getting to work with seasoned vocalists and musicians and going from making instrumentals in my room to a full vocal band project is a great way to develop yourself as a producer. I've done that now, and although there is a possibility that it will be released and that would be wicked, I'm not worried about it. Again, I'm looking to the future now so that's my main interest.
