Tell us about your mix:
Well whenever I do a podcast mix I always try to create something that basically condenses how I would hear a full night of music into one set. So, I always start with deeper, warm-up music and develop it into tracks with a stronger groove and then into the more intense sounds at the end of the mix. This represents what I would like to hear over the course of a whole evening in a club. 

Favourite track from the mix
Well I love them all so that’s not so easy to choose but if I was forced to say one I would probably go for Pablo Cahn – ‘Elle’. For me this has such a such a nice balance between house sounds with a techno mentality. Of course I should probably say one of my own productions but that feels a bit cheap. Of my own tracks on this mix I really like the ‘What The Fuck’ track that is coming out on Get Physical. It’s been a regular in my set for a couple of months now and always gets a great reaction on the floor. 

Some favourite tracks to drop live at the moment:
I love to play the Nao Siano ‘Track for Lyn’ record. It’s actually by a really well-known producer but I am sworn to secrecy. It’s an amazing record and for me stands out from so many of the other release coming out at the moment. It feels almost a bit like an old school garage record and feels really sexy on the floor. Techno house for girls and boys. This is a really important part of keeping the right vibe on the dancefloor

How has 2010 been for you DJ-wise?
I definitely can’t complain. I started releasing under my own name Martin Dawson instead of King Roc because the sound I was producing just felt very different to previous works and I want to have a fresh start for these sounds…. full interview & podcast here
