6. What was the last gig you saw?
Chemical Brothers at All Points East festival.

I love good movement performances as its something so simple but so incredible. If I had to pick a favourite music video of the last 3 months, it would be FKA Twigs, "Cellophane".
8. What song gets you on the dance floor?
This changes literally every 5 minutes. Heavy California by Jungle, but that's more day dancing, Gul l'Abi by Acid Arab for dancing in the car and good hiphop for any house party.
9. Favourite movie & soundtrack?
Movie, impossible. But in terms of soundtrack the ones that just came to mind are 'Call Me By Your Name' which I loved and then Vangelis 'Blade Runner' which I could listen to all the time.
10. If you could direct a music video for any artist/band, who would it be?
I'd love to work with Kendrick Lamar or FKA Twigs as I love how progressive they are in terms of visuals but also messaging.
11. Film director idol?
Kubrick.
12. What can’t you live without?
Good friends. Good food.
13. What did you last have to eat?
Some sardines with lime and bread and butter.
