Here's a link to an interview I did with him for a local promoter's website, during the summer. It might give you a few ideas:

The text seems to have gone a bit funny in places (although maybe it's just my computer?), but you'll be able to make out what's being said ;)

if i were you i'd definitely ask him about his new double dj mix album.. he's really gone down a much more minimal route.

Like most of the belgian artists who are also his friends. You can refer to it.

**alsynthe** · 13-12-2005, 03:35 PM

why is he following the trend of the minimal thing like every other bugger and their cats are?

**fresh_an_funky_design** · 13-12-2005, 05:28 PM

cheers for the ideas

Well, he has to stay cool and sell mix CDs doesn't he? In fairness I saw the tracklisting for that CD and some of it is good stuff.

**Martin Dust** · 13-12-2005, 10:21 PM

I hated it, for some reason it just all wrong ;)

**MARKEG** · 13-12-2005, 10:28 PM

i agree i hated it too. imo really bad mixing, bad track listing. both cd's too. was gutted.

and such a fuss of the design too with that burnt cd cover. was expecting alot more when i saw that.

I am still surprised people sell mix cd's, period. The internet kind of defeated the point of those (like everything). Apparently there must be some money to be made.

What?? Did you really expect much though?

I was surprised to see people like 65D Mavericks in there to be honest, granted the time he played here he played a fair amount of Ruskin, Surgeon and stuff; finished off with "Seawolf" too, which surprised me.

He's tends to be more concerned with his appearance than he is with mixing records though.

True enough, they did seem to become outdated. Although I've been surprised, some heads still get excited about them. I think some distributors could push mix CDs a bit more than they do, as they do still shift.

**MARKEG** · 14-12-2005, 12:53 AM

well it was because of the burnt cd cover that i expected more - alot of money had obviously gone into that.

but hey, i shoould have learnt over the years - appearences are deceptive, as we all know!

**The Overfiend** · 14-12-2005, 07:47 AM

Why does he need a co producer for everything he does?

**dirty_bass** · 14-12-2005, 10:09 AM

I would like this question to be asked.

Are you going to be joining the candidtes for Pop Idol again, or will you get some mates together and try to go for the group category in X-Factor?

**carl@neo** · 14-12-2005, 10:13 AM

what made him say yes to playing at the goodgreef/bosh night at tall trees??

hahahaha excellent question

some of these need putting to him

1. see above
2. Tony's - "why do you need a co-producer for everything you do?" excellent question
3. "why is your cd a big massive let down for Mark EG?"

i think they'd make him squirm underneath all that hairgel

Ask him about the mask that he brings with him to gigs....I know it sounds like a weird question, but trust me, you wont be disappointed ;)

**slimboy** · 15-12-2005, 01:53 PM

Ask him if he realises that the problem with techno at the moment is people like him churning out mindless bangers for the last 5 years.

**Heroes** · 16-12-2005, 09:56 PM

ask him if he has to work hard to look like a knob on all his promo photos or does it just come natural
