Ahead of his much anticipated launch of pure ivy Saturdays, a man who needs no introduction, MICHAEL GRAY steps in to the Experience Entertainment realm for a catch up on what’s happening in his world…

1. When was the last time you played in Sydney?
S.H.E. @ Trademark & Horden Pavilion – 23/08/2008

2. How do you view the Sydney scene in comparison to the UK?
Its great, I love Sydney, I think the scene compares well. In London there is a resurgence of disco and vocal mixed with Tech house, which is perfect for me.

3. What’s your biggest track of 2010 so far, and what’s your guaranteed floor filler?
Dennis Ferrer “Hey Hey” – Riva Star Remix , This answers both.

4. How would you describe your sound now, and how has it evolved since your first explosion on to the scene?
House! A bit more electronic than it used to be, I still love producing and DJ ing a mixture of Vocal and Dub house, but trying to push the boundaries. Sexy not cheesy.

5. Have you got plans to produce another dance chart topping hits like ‘The Weekend’ and ‘Borderline’
Yes most defiantly, I have 4 tracks I’m finishing now I’m finally happy in my new studio. I know it’s been a while but I have been producing for and with other people. Its my turn now!

6. Are you still producing under the ‘Full Intention’ guise and if so what’s up next?
Yes, Jon and I started producing again last year and its like old times, but we both have our solo projects too so we don’t plan to flood the market with Full Intention! We have also just had remixes done of “America” by Marco Demark & Dave Manna, and Denzal Park. Plus Lys has just finished a mix too forthcoming in June. Over the last year I have also made tracks with Paul Harris, Danisim, Kid Massive, Koolwah and remixed for Visage, Snap, Gary Go etc.

7. What can we expect from your show at Pure ivy?
Sexy pumping Vocal house to Electronic toughness, and quite a few of my records!

8. Finally what makes you ‘pure’ ?
Mmm, that’s a problem, because I’m not !
