How important was it growing up amongst a creative and musical<br />
family for where you are today?<br />
It was really special to have artists in the family. Genuinely<br />
super-inspiring. The Gutierrez family is full of talent!<br />
Do you miss your times as rock ‘n’ roll super star?<br />
I miss being young! Yeah they were definitely great times, I was<br />
twenty and I had a full life ahead but I don’t miss anything in life.<br />
Life keeps moving and so do I.<br />
I am happy to be here right now making music and creating.<br />
I believe that Rock N’ Roll tour life is a bit different from what<br />
you’re experiencing right now as a DJ and producer. Is it better<br />
or worse? Which are the differences?<br />
It is both better and worse. In a band you are a group of 10 guys,<br />
sometimes 20 with the entourage, touring and going wild. As a<br />
DJ it is mostly by yourself and with that it is good and bad. Now I<br />
have more space to make trouble on my own.<br />
If you had to choose the worst aspect of your profession what<br />
would it be?<br />
Being away from home all the time, but at the same time this is<br />
also amazing. You get to know so many different cultures and<br />
countries and therefore we as DJs are so lucky.<br />
But then you miss your family and it is almost impossible to<br />
have a relationship or a house. But then you can’t have everything,<br />
can you? And the best one?<br />
Getting paid for making music!?!<br />
What were your dreams when you were a kid, and what are<br />
your dreams right now?<br />
I am still full of dreams right now. I dream about songs, I dream<br />
about love and I dream to give a bright future to my family.<br />
Any plans for the summer season you’d like to share with us?<br />
I’ll be touring the world as I always do. Some highlights will be a<br />
tour of the USA and a tour of South America. But this summer I’ll<br />
be more focused on Ibiza and the European festivals. I can’t wait.<br />
Please tell us your top 5 tracks of all time (any genre) (if you find<br />
it difficult please state the first five that you are feeling right now)<br />
I can’t choose 5 but I’m having (another) Oscar Peterson<br />
phase. I just bought ” A Canadian Suite” on vinyl and am listening<br />
to that too much. So good!<br />
