Its a great place for many reasons, it has amazing clubs, bars, restaurants, beaches, weather and it attracts many liked minded people that make it what it is.
7. Which other DJ has been the biggest source of inspiration in your career? (ibiza or not)
Well many djs have inspired me, but 2 way more than any others, first is was Sasha back around 1990, 1991 and 1992 at clubs like Shelly's, The Eclipse and Renaissance in the U.K. Then Jose Padilla from around 1992 when I found Cafe Del Mar here in Ibiza.
8. What have you been up to during the winter?
Well me and my main studio partner James Doman have set up a record label with Strictly Rhythm. We have also remixed loads of major artists like: Justin Timberlake, Beyonce, lady Gaga, Tini Tempha, Kelis, Professor Green, Mcfly, L.M.F.A.O, Jesse J, Groove Armada and many more. And as well as that we have loads of our own singles ready for release as Doman & Gooding.
Also, I have done loads of collaborations with producer Afterlife, together we have an act called No Logo, we just signed our first album to Tirk Records and Me and Chris Coco just signed with their sister label Nang. As well as that me and James Doman have another more underground project called The Machine, and in the last few months we signed 2 tracks to Steve Angelo's Size label, 5 to Chus's Stereo Productions label, 1 to Steve Lawler's Viva Music label, 2 to Dave Seaman's Audio Therapy label and as well as that I have had several releases of my own on various labels.

9. Tell us about your production plans at the moment.
I think I explained all that in the last answer!
10. How can DJs who are residents in Ibiza avoid just being DJs who are just residents in Ibiza?
By doing something to make them stand out, like make great records and be different to everyone else with the music they play.
11. Which Ibiza resident Dj should we feature next?
Andy Baxter, he's a great DJ!
