Guy Gerber interview: the final instalment

In the second part of Guy Gerber's interview we cover life outside the clubs, the reinvigorated launch of his label and...we drop a bombshell:

Guy's talents aren’t only confined to electronic music. He is as adept with the round ball as he is twiddling knobs in the studio; in his teens representing his country on the soccer field.

This naturally led me to ask who he followed, and if he still kept his skills up.

“Unfortunately not at all,” he laughed.

“I like to remember myself as the Al Bundy character from Married with Children, who reminisces on how good he was in former days without having to show what he can actually do now, but I love watching and follow Liverpool and Barcelona.”

Back onto dance I asked him on the scene back home.

Guy said the sound in the clubs is currently more progressive and there are some cool underground venues in his home city of Tel Aviv.

He's also currently working on his follow-up album on his own label Supplement Facts.

“It’s really growing. Particularly now that we’ve gone to a new structure of management,” he said.

His second album, as yet unnamed, is in the late stages of completion and will be something to watch out for later this year.

Guy also dropped the bombshell that he’s recently parted ways with Cocoon, though he confirms that, “it was all on good terms,” and it now gives him more time to focus on developing his label.

In touring here Guy said he is pumped to be finally playing to Australian crowds.

“I’ve heard a lot of good things, and I’m expecting a lot of good energy in Australia. I’ll also be performing a good mix of new tracks off the upcoming album.”

Unfortunately though his involvement will be a, ‘pash and dash’ affair, limited to a roaring run of gigs through Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide, leaving him with little to no time to savour the sights.

A man of dedication and diligence he tells D.M.M he’ll be heading home immediately after the gigs to finish up the album.

With the horizon a bright beacon Guy's next stop is the 2009 summer residency at the mighty Space in Ibiza.

Let’s hope it’s not too long before he returns!

As an appetizer check out Guy ripping it up close and personal last year in Amsterdam:
