• Hello Gary how’s you, what have you been up to and any crack to share with us?

Hi Lads How Are Ye Keeping,Im Grand Cant Complain Been Busy Last 3 Weeks Had Two 21st And Went To London For The Champions League Final.

• Now as a New resident for Illusionz tell me how much this means to you and what can the clubbers expect to see from you?

ENERGY... Thats What They Can Expect,Nothing Gets Me Going More Then Being Behind The Decks Doing My Thing And Then Seeing The Crowd Enjoying What Im Playing And Doing,For Me Its One Of The Greatest Feelings In World,So Naturally I Start Dancing Along With Them.

As For My Illusionz Residency Im Over The Moon About It Big Thanks Again Lads.When I Got Into Djing I Always Wanted To Be Apart Of Something To Do With The Dance Scene Like A Clubnight.Lucky Enough For Me Illusionz Gave Me The Chance So It Means The World To Me Plus Illusionz Is Makin A Big Name For Itself And Im Delighted To Be Apart Of That.

• Tell us what you think of the Irish scene and the party’s it holds and where you see yourself in 2 years time?

The Irish Scene Seems To Be Going Very Well Between Lektrik,Hedliners,Contrasts,NuBreed Etc They Have Organised Some Serious Nights All Over The Country.In The last Few Years Loads Of Irish Djs Have Broke Into The Scene With A Bang The Likes Of John O Callaghan,Bryan Kearney,Paul Webster The list Is Endless.In 2 Years Time Id Love To Play A Gig In Ibiza Or Get An Opening Slot At Planetlove That Would Be My Dream Anyway.Hopefully I Might Achieve One Of These In 2 Years Time.So Ill Just Keepin Aiming For That.

I Always Loved Music.I Was A Rocker When I Was Fairly Young Ha Ha Theres Pictures Aswell,Hopefully None Of Ye Ever Get To See Them.I Really Got Into Dance When I Was 15 But i Never Thought Of Djing Myself Then One Of My Friends Got Into It And I Was Amazed By It And That Was When It Became My Passion.I Finally started Djing When I Was 20 And Hard House Was My Style So My First Record Was Tony De Vit - The Dawn
