Along with Tim Green's set for EDMaddicts Episode 43 comes an interview with the man himself, Tim Green.  Tim has come out with out with a lot of bangin' hits over the past few years, and we wanted to ask him a few questions about his style, his productions, and what he has in store for the future.  He excels at creating beats in different genre and does not limit himself to a particular style or groove, and this is one reason he has accrued a solid fan base backing this great artist!  For the rest of 2010, Tim is currently in the studio working the early stages of his debut album. Combined with a busy dj schedule across North America, South America, Asia, Ibiza, UK & extensively across the rest of Europe. Expect the unexpected.

Will Rodrigues aka Willisthemachine(Willis): "A lot has been going on with all your recent success these past few years.  What has been the most defining moment of your career so far?"
Tim Green: "I think the continued support from DJ's and artists to my music. Its ever growing, im always getting new really great DJ's and artists that I admire supporting my music, with every new release."

Willis: "2010 has been a busy year for music!  There's been some great times, and some lower ones like the victims of the love parade stampede.  What has been some one of your most memorable moments of 2010 so far?"
Tim Green: "I think some of the nicest moments have been at mine and my managers night 'Bedlam' in maidstone. Had some wicked guests come down, like Matthias Tanzmann, Lee Burridge, Audiofly and M.A.N.D.Y. all close to where I grew up haha."

Willis: "You've played out some great venues.  What club or event has had your favorite sound system so far?"
Tim Green: "Womb in Tokyo is always my favourite. For me its perfect, great sound, crazy crowd, amazing food, beautiful place."

Willis: "What is your ideal set up for a gig?"
Tim Green: "Good soundsystem and Native Instruments Traktor. Maybe some Jack Daniels too ;)"

Willis: "You've got a real fresh and unique sound.  What are some of the key elements in your life that attribute to your musical style?"
Tim Green: "My background in music, playing guitar and listening to as many different types of music as possible."

Willis: "Some people start with drums, others go for bass.  A lot of listeners are producers as well, and I am sure they'd love to know more about your production methods.  Where do you like to start off when beginning a new production?"
Tim Green: "Its different overtime, I never try to write a track the same way I did another. Sometimes its an idea in my head, other times I just sit down and play around. But as a recommendation, start with the melody, I always get better results that way."

Willis: "You've had quite some serious bangers come out lately.  Can you describe one of your 'Ah ha!' moments when you knew the song came together perfectly and you knew this was the one."
Tim Green: "Most of the time I don't know to be honest. But Lone Time on Cocoon was a bit like that. It came together quickly and just worked great!"

Willis: "Between podcasts, file sharing, and the changing face of music digitally, How have you seen the music industry changing since you have begun producing?"

Tim Green: "I think I'm kind of lucky (being optimistic at least) that it already started changing when I started. So I'm able to change with these changes. I'm not used to the older music industry. So when a record of mine sells well in the charts, that means a lot to me. I'm not thinking how it "used to be better", or "this would of sold x amount more back in the day" etc…."

Willis: "Can Paris Hilton request a song?"
Tim Green: "no"

Willis: "What type of style and vibe can we expect to hear from you in the future?"
Tim Green: "Well im working on my album currently. So expect t hear a lot of my influences in there, all different electronic genres, folk, pop, classical, jazz, indie etc…"

Willis: "What's one piece of software or hardware you use for production you couldn't live without?  Why?"
Tim Green: "Native Instruments sampler/plug-in Battery. Its perfect for me. I hate using pre made loops. It always denotes the sound of the record i think. So I always program my own drums/loops."

Willis: "It's 11AM the next day, the party has been going all night and you have time to play one more track.  Which one are you gonna drop?"
Tim Green: "Recently it would probably be the track 'Out Run' by Lucio Aquilina on Davide Squillace and Luca Bacchetti's label Hideout. Gorgeous track!"
