Hot Dub Time Machine will be helping finish off 2018 with an appearance at NYE in the Park in Sydney this coming Monday. Ahead of the show, we looked back at the year past, as he reflected on his favourite moments of 2018, his favourite music of the year and give you some hot tips as to what makes the perfect New Years Eve.
What were you doing on your favourite ever NYE?
Edinburghās Hogmanay is my favourite ever New Years Ever. I went as a punter in 2000-2001 and had an amazing time, then I go to perform at it in 2014-2015. I played for 4 hours to 80,000 people and it was incredible.
What three things make the perfect New Years Eve?
Being with a great group of friends, listening to great music, and having a great snog at midnight.
What can fans expect from your set at NYE IN THE PARK?
Iām performing quite early in the evening this time, so Iām thinking Iām going to begin with lots of disco and get everyone dancing and then really turn it up and get the party rocking.
Who else are you excited to check out while youāre there? Will you get to stay around until midnight?
Iām playing after Hayden James, who is a lovely man and an amazing musician so Iāll definitely be watching his set. I have to bounce straight away to go to another gig so Iāll miss The Presets but Iām sure they will absolutely rock the midnight set.
Whatās been your highlight as an artist in 2018?
It was really fun to get to play some shows in Europe this year. Iāve been touring Australia, UK and the USA for a while now, but to finally get to Amsterdam, Berlin, Switzerland and generally enjoy the continent was amazing.
What are you most looking forward to in 2019?Ā
Wine Machine is going to be awesome this year. The line up is super strong and Iām really excited about it. Iām also going to spend a lot of time in the studio working on a new project which is very exciting…
And hot tip on your favourite ALBUM and/or SONG in 2018?
I love Rufusā album, I think itās really gorgeous and surprisingly dark. My favourite song is a split between āLosing It,ā by Fisher and āPromisesā by Calvin Harris. #fisherforhottest100
