Tell us a little about recent projects/collaborations you have been working on?
I have three different projects to focus on, Gaby Dershin solo work, Bit Crushers collaboration and recently I started working with Grammy nominated producer Tony Dofat on his new artist album Touch.  Touch is a crossover from Hip-Hop to House, blending the styles and genres for the mass markets.  I was at Diddy’s studio last week (Daddy’s House) and worked on beats til the sun came up, it’s nice to know us dance music peeps aren’t the only ones who stay up late…

What is the current status of Astro&Glyde?
A&G is on hold at the moment.  My 8 year long partner in crime James Bem has moved to the south of Spain to pursue greener pastures with his wife and two children.  We have a reunion tour of Asia in May booking up, I’m looking forward to that.

What releases do you have coming out that should we be looking out for?
“Rebels Of The Sun” featuring the ever-talented Hadley on vocals.  With Dr. Kucho on remix duties this is definitely one to watch for.  Kucho’s remix of A&G’s “El Mariachi” has become a global success story, if he does even half as good a job on this remix I’ll be thrilled.  Bit Crushers remix of Shannon’s classic “Let The Music Play”, out on Oakie’s Perfecto label.  “The Funkk”, remix by Medway.

What DJs/Producers are influencing you right now?
Nick Bridges, David Tort, Dada Life

What track (other than yours) is getting the best response at your gigs right now?
Ricochet! [Nadastrom Head Spin Dub]

What gigs are you regularly playing & promoting at home in New York?
My long term Sunday Sessions residency at Le Souk is on hold as they relocate to a new spot.  For the time being Sunday Sessions are being held at Kush.  We’ve done a month of parties so far and the vibe is killer.  Packed out room from midnight to close (which is 4:30 here in NYC, LOL).

Cake or Pie?
I do love me some cake, but there’s nothing better than pie in your face
