“What I’m gonna do at Big Day Out is a real production. I’m working with the design company from Montreal who do the LED light installations for Cirque du Solei, really cutting edge stuff. I’ve worked with them before on a tour in America last year with John Digweed, and we did that on a really tight shoestring. And I went back to them and basically said, if I was to give you an unlimited budget, what could you come up with? And they presented me with this stage production which is just gonna blow people’s heads off, it really is. And the first time anyone is gonna get to see it is in Australia [and New Zealand!!!].”
“It’s constructed out of lots of tiny screens, and the visual content, I’ve seen some of the treatments for it and it already looks stunning. They’re custom building this whole stage in Montreal and then shipping it over. I’ve wanted to do something like this for a while, but it’s just been a matter finding the budget to do it. But Big Day Out came to me with a budget, so I could invest that money back into the show, rather than just turning up and DJing.”
“I’ve always wanted to do something more, and do something different. I’m not the DJ who plays all the big anthem tunes …. What I want to do is have something that is separate from my club shows. So this festival set is gonna be an hour and a half long, the music is going to be linked to the visuals and it’s going to be a whole different experience.”
“You’ve gotta play a big sound if you’re playing to 30,000 people, you’ve gotta come in with a crash-bang-wallop right from the get go.”
FUCK?
