Well, I\u2019ve been playing out there because to be honest, I\u2019ve been playing a lot in Russia and very cold places, so one day I just thought to myself, why not check out other parts of the world? So I made the decision to head to the sun. It\u2019s been really great, I worked out there in the 90\u2019s and since then it\u2019s changed quite a bit. It\u2019s come a long way, but it\u2019s nice to go back and see your old family again, but you know with the new generation, that\u2019s nice as well.<\/p>\n
\n
Talking about the 90\u2019s you actually had a residency at Manumission back in the 90\u2019s, how was that?<\/span> <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n I certainly did, it was interesting. There was a lot that would go on there. There is a big difference between then and now. Back then all the locals would be getting involved with a handful of people who knew about the island, you know?<\/p>\n It\u2019s changed a lot. Parties were mainly people from the island and then you\u2019d get a handful of tourists. Back in them days they didn\u2019t have a license for anything, parties could pop up ANYWHERE! And that was beautiful, it was just really raw and you just felt like you were still part of something. You knew it wasn\u2019t going to last as Ibiza has become such a popular party destination, with the size of the parties now, licensing and regulations have to be in place. It was great though in those days, with the locals being a part of it, even the older generation. They knew all the songs I was playing.<\/p>\n Manumission is renowned for it\u2019s crazy parties, what was the craziest thing that you ever saw at the parties?\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n I saw loads! The craziest one was when I decided to take my mum. I mean she\u2019s cool, she\u2019s seen pretty much everything! She used to be a dancer so she\u2019s been a part of the entertainment game anyway. You got some people doing whatever they wanted on stage, but I never really paid attention, but mum was just like; \u201cLook, look!\u201d in her proper West Indian accent, and I\u2019m like, \u201cAh mum I\u2019m just playing the music, don\u2019t distract me, I might play the wrong song!\u201d<\/p>\n At the moment I\u2019ve been doing loads of writing. I\u2019ve already got a remix that Paul Morel has done which is doing really well. Asides that I\u2019m just working with another guy at the moment and we\u2019ll be bringing something out for sure. This Summer is all about hearing my voice again.<\/p>\n Since you started, the typical DJ set up has changed, do you miss carrying around your record box?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong>Well, my biceps are much smaller now. People used to ask me how did I get them arms, and I\u2019d be like, try carrying around records for 10 years. But yeah, I miss the sound quality of analogue sound. It is so rich and so warm and so inviting, that my ears are still finding it difficult nowadays to listen to the kind of quality now. And nowadays you have USB sticks and computers but if I could choose, I\u2019d go back to vinyl any day, definitely. I would take that back immediately, mainly because I miss my biceps! But I\u2019m just going to have to deal with that.<\/p>\n When you\u2019re not behind the decks here in Ibiza, what\u2019s your favourite thing to do whilst on the White Isle?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n I like to eat. I just eat or I go to the beach and eat. I like the whole thing of sitting with my friends and having some good food. My favourite place to eat is this Argentinian place right in Playa den Bossa, its just by Bora Bora, they just do the most amazing meat, it\u2019s so good. It\u2019s really simple, not fancy or anything but the food is great.<\/p>\n You won a Brit Award for \u2018Best Female Artist\u2019 – we want to know where in your house you keep your award?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n It\u2019s in the studio where everything goes. I\u2019ve got quite a lot of plaques and awards so I just scatter them around really. They\u2019re not in a big extravagant polished glass cabinet or anything, it\u2019s just sitting there on the side of the radiator. My Ivor Novello award for songwriting is my favourite because that\u2019s what I\u2019d always wanted to be. I mean being a singer is great but I always wanted to write a really great song. The Brit award was amazing though, as I didn\u2019t see it coming.<\/p>\n And finally, if you could collaborate with anyone dead or alive who would it be?\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Two people at the same time, Prince and Michael Jackson. It\u2019s always been them but unfortunately they\u2019re both gone now so that\u2019s out of the question. I\u2019d love to collaborate with both of them, they\u2019d just smash it every time.<\/p>\n Off The Wall was definitely my favourite album, it was the one that got me straight in there. I just think you can\u2019t live long when you\u2019re that great! It\u2019s like the planet can\u2019t handle it, the worlds not balanced properly when there\u2019s people with that amount of talent.<\/p>\n IN THE RUN UP TO HER IBIZA COMEBACK, BRIT AWARD WINNING SONIQUE, WHO ROSE TO FAME WITH “FEEL SO GOOD”, GAVE US A MOMENT OF HER TIME FOR AN O BEACH IBIZA EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW.
