Which club would you like to own and why?
Hï in Ibiza. It was a reference when it was still Space and in my opinion, it still is. Music for me is freedom of expression, imagination, fun, connection and sexuality; this club is all this. The sound system is excellent, the lights and the visuals are amazing. The outdoor area, with a garden, a mini bar and Indian style tents, completes the club makes it suitable for those who just want to have a peaceful chat.
Who do you think is the most overrated DJ and who is the most underrated?

If you could travel in time, which music event would you like to (re)live?
