We get inside the head of Philly Blunt.

How would your mum describe you? With great difficulty.

Who inspires you musically? Diplo, Cold War Kids, AC Slater, Imelda May, RZA, Finley Quaye, Pretty Lights, Alex Clare, Bart B More, Muse, Loops of Fury, Cosmo Jarvis, Clockwork, Atmosphere, Botnek, Raekwon, Torro Torro, Nick Thayer... the list could go on and on.

Name three tracks currently detonating your dancefloor. Zeds Dead – Cowboys (Torro Torro remix), Black & Blunt ft MC Coppa & Sam Perry – Wandering Strangers, Philly Blunt & Kraymer – 6 Milly.

Tell us about a classic dancefloor moment. That time when I didn't play a chicks request so she threw a drink over me and the mixer – causing it to spark and die. Then after she was kicked out and told to leave the area, the cops were called. Then she went for one of the cops guns and got a beat down and apparently 3 months in prison... True story.Moral of the story: Don't make shitty requests or you will go to prison.

What's the musical achievement you're most proud of? It being able to pay my rent.

What's one record you're embarrassed to admit you own? I'm def not embarrassed by this one (or any of my records) as it's an all time favourite of mine – but the La Bamba soundtrack always gets a laugh whenever I whip it out. Which is often.

Spike Milligan quipped he'd like his tombstone to read 'I told you I was ill' – what would be on yours? I can't believe I ate the whole thing.

What's something that really annoys you? Children.

Imagine you're on death row. What's your last meal request? Chicken wings and whiskey.

Name one person living or dead you would love to party with and why. Jimi Hendrix – pretty obvious why...

What's ruling your world at the moment? Getting hyped for District this friday, then Future Music Festival on Sunday. Then a couple weeks of gigs and I'm off to the US to play in Miami for WMC!

What can we expect to hear from you in the near future? Loads of music coming real soon. Two remixes on my label Grits N Gravy drop in the next few weeks, a collab with Kraymer from Sydney coming out on Simma Records, I've got an EP coming on Klub Kids, a remix for Adelaide label Hype Recordings, collabs with Deekline, Spenda C... and some.
