1. What are your drum&bass related activities at the moment?
As well as doing my show on BBC Radio 1Xtra every Wednesday from 10pm, I'm currently in the middle of selecting tracks for a new mix compilation due out in 2011. I also recently put together a mix for the Bar Rage series for UNCZ. Aside from that I'll be hosting seminars at trade shows about the art of mixing and taking part in talks at UK music colleges for 1Xtra.2. What are your future plans both as a dj and producer...and maybe promoter?
I'm going to do A&R for a new record label that's being set up by the people who brought you the 'Back 2 You' remix project which gives unknown producers a chance to remix classic D&B tracks in a competition. Basically the new label will be another stem of that showcasing new unsigned talent.3. You've been there from the beginning , how do you see the scene evolving in the next years?
I see the scene yearly becoming stronger commercially around the world. The likes of Pendulum, Chase & Status, Subfocus and others have seen to that. It's about time D&B got more respect.4. Will drum&bass still be able to deliver fresh sounds every year and hold its position?
D&B constantly reinvents itself. Always coming up with new concepts and ideas. Even if the idea is a rehash of older sounds, it still has a fresh twist on it. It's what's kept me into it for so long.5. Which are your favourite djs and producers at the moment?
S.P.Y, Break, Dave Owen and Mutated Forms pretty much wear the production crown for me at the moment. Favourite DJs are Bryan G, Randall and Storm.6. Do you think there is still place for upcoming "pure" drum&bass djs or is it absolutely necessary to produce tunes as well?
I would like to think there is but it seems more and more people are getting booked on the strength of their productions which isn't always the best way.7. Do you think that a tighter collab between dnb djs,producers and mcs will be a step forward, as projects are starting to emerge?
Not necessarily. It all depends on what the project requires.8. What is the country/city you haven't yet played and would love to?
For some weird reason I've never played in Brazil. I always hear about how good it is. I need to get there.9. You have known Funsta for a long time , and worked with him, what should the Romanian massive expect?
Expect a party for everyone. No specific style, just whatever fits the mood. We want to have fun.10. A message to the Romanian public:
Be ready to embrace a musical mixture you're never heard in one set before. We are D&B lovers that love it all.Latest BAILEY mix is a big one!http://dnbshare.com/download/Bailey_ASidesSun_BassAftermathFromAlFaro128k_1.mp3.html
