Shanghai set out to take over from Hong Kong and I think it's done that. It's got the most amazing futuristic skyline which rivals and even betters Tokyo.

For me it all started with two turntables and a mixer.

There is a definite Chinese pop sound developing, but I was shocked at how influenced it is by American music.

I have a naturally camp sensibility and a camp sense of humour. I love the icons that gay people love.

I'm a big action junkie. I grew up on the '80s action movies - the bad ones and the good ones.

I like a challenge. I need to feel passionate about something. If I'm not passionate about it, I can't stand it. It has to feel real. DJ'ing, touring, charity work - anything.
