Good afternoon Miguel, thanks for taking time out to have a quick chat with us…So, what’s been happening?

“I have just got back from my tour of the United States.”

Are you looking forward to playing Edinburgh?

“I am looking forward to coming back to play in Edinburgh. The energy in the city is great and I always meet some really nice people.”

Is being a DJ how you’d expected it to be?

“Since becoming a touring DJ, it became apparent that it was not going to be as easy as what first meets the eye. I have found that time management is all important. I have to try find time for the studio and also find time to relax with family and friends whilst being on the road and planning the next moves, which is quite tricky at times.”

If you don’t mind me asking, how did you start out as a DJ and producer, and how has that effected you now?

“I began DJing at my local school youthclub and that turned into regular shows on the pirate radio stations in Leeds. One night, I did a show live in a Leeds studio and I was exposed to the concept of music production at that show and from there I decided that this was something I wanted to do and so I began my journey to make music.”

What do you think you’d be doing if you weren’t making music and DJing?
