There have been so many people along the way. Is there anyone else, on your management team or in your personal life, that has gotten big results in moving your career forward? I know you said Eddie Halliwell and Laidback Luke have been really big in taking your career to the next level. I think there’s a certain limit of bananas that you’re allowed to eat before your potassium levels get too high, I think it must have been at that level. I bought three huge boxes of bananas and we were throwing bananas everywhere. We just shot the video in a day in a white room. We did think about getting some models, but we just thought why bother spending more money, when it would probably be a bit more awkward with people you don’t know? So I just got a couple of friends in, one from Ibiza, and one that I went to university with. How long did it take you guys to shoot it? I read that the girls in the video are actually friends of yours. Keeping a low budget, I thought to get in there myself! You released your track “Bananas” about a month before you went on tour. Me and my friends used to go to a club where there was a bongo player and we always used to shout at him, more cowbell! And there was also that Saturday Night Live skit about it. I tried to think of something quite quirky. While I had his attention, I sent him another track I’d been working on and he said, why don’t you try and go for this new vibe and do a big kickdrum? It didn’t really work well on the track he was talking about, so I made a new one. I handed Luke a USB stick with a track called “Again.” I got an email a couple of weeks later saying that he loved the track and wanted to sign it. I had been DJ’ing with Eddie Halliwell, who’s a good friend of mine and brought me up through the DJ ranks, and Laidback Luke at a venue called the Warehouse Project in my home city of Manchester. Yeah, I was sitting right here in my studio. Beyond the tour, D.O.D consistently plays the hottest clubs and festivals in the UK and abroad, including Tomorrowland and a residency with Mixmag for their Ibiza tour. D.O.D’s unique sound and uncanny abilities have caught the attention of many renowned DJ’s, including Laidback Luke, who signed him to Mixmash Records last year and brought him along on his Musically Driven bus tour across the U.S. 1 best selling “More Cowbell” to his most recent release “Stomp,” arranged in triplet beats, which many producers aren’t bold enough to attempt due to its complexity. His original tracks are expertly engineered, ranging from the signature kickdrum in his Beatport No. His sets are a versatile mix of house, techno, electro and progressive accentuated by fine-tuned, rhythmic effects that he has mastered over the past decade of DJ’ing.
