There's an excellent Claude interview on the Resident Advisor site: http://www.residentadvisor.net/feature.aspx?1398
I definitely miss the days when Claude stayed in Glasgow (from the little I remember of them) - every time I left his flat (he stayed just around the corner from me) I had a BAG of Detroit gossip and incendiary stories- none of which I could ever remember when I woke up the next day unfortunately :) He says at the end: "I don't think I'll ever go back to the point where I want to do festivals. Financially it would be fantastic, but that would put me in a situation where I'd have to play records I don't want to. I'd much rather play the back rooms and be free. You know, you meet a lot of DJs—the really big ones—and they're kind of characters. I'm the farthest away from a character you can get. When you see Derrick May there is something iconic about the way he carries himself. He's an artist. I'm not really like that. I'm just a tech geek who does music. That's my thing." I think he does himself a MAJOR disservice here - Claude is definitely an artist and a character - maybe if he'd seen Derrick May's truly pitiful set at last years Bloc Festival he wouldn't hold himself in such low esteem! cheers Jason On 2 September 2011 20:44, John Sokolowski <jrsokolow...@hotmail.com> wrote: > > That was brilliant.
