We started off the year with our annual F*** Me I'm Famous party at the Miami Winter Music Conference which is where I first test-drived my upcoming release, 'Love Don’t Let Me Go (Walking Away).' It's a mash-up of the Tocadisco remix of The Egg's 'Walking Away' and my own 'Love Don't Let Me Go.' At first I was just using it as a DJ tool, but it became a favourite with a lot of people and it was then that I thought we might have something special. It's been played every week on Pete Tong's show and there was such a mix of DJs feeling it, from Deep Dish to Erick Morillo, and I really think that is a good sign.

Next up was the Cannes Film Festival: we've thrown so many parties there in the past but this year was one of my happiest. Pedro Almodovar is one of my favourite directors and he was showcasing 'Volver' (starring Penelope Cruz) there this year, after the premiere he turned up at our party and I was absolutely overwhelmed. It was such an honour to have him there and appreciating what we were trying to do.

The F*** Me I'm Famous parties were initially started in Ibiza, then as both myself and my wife Cathy are from France we thought we should probably put one on there. After that we moved on to Miami, New York and Monaco and now we're planning on taking them to Barcelona and Brazil. It's a really exciting time for us: last year we did our first ever London party that was totally road-blocked at Ministry of Sound and this year we took it to Café de Paris. What can I say? - it's very Parisian in there and I like the intimacy and the little corners. Earlier this summer I played at Space's opening party in Ibiza: which was amazing, I've never played the opening before and I couldn't believe the electric atmosphere. I think I was on for the last few hours outside on the terrace whilst Carl Cox was inside and people were still going crazy, refusing to leave the dancefloor.

We've also had the release of the 'F*** Me I'm Famous: International' album, I think it really represents the type of set you could expect to hear me play out. There’s the Bob Sinclar track on there mixed up with a Bloc Party remix, an Arnaud Rebotini remix of Blackstrobe, then Chocolate Puma, I thrive off putting tracks together that maybe you wouldn't automatically think work.

Last week was our first party at Pacha this year and we've got another three lined up with the likes of Subliminal, Pure Pacha and Def Mix. Last week was a Bastille Day celebration with the French boys, I was playing with Bob Sinclar and I'm still in shock at how busy it was. I've never seen Ibiza like that in July. There were about 3,000 people still waiting outside to get in at 4am. Throughout July I've got 28 gigs in total and they're all over the world at various festivals, big clubs, small venues. I like the idea of mixing it all up like that, it excites me more than sticking to just one type of club and having a home there. I love the danger element of playing a really underground track in a big club and vice versa. Above all I try to have an open mind, I want to try and change things and play different styles of music to as many people as possible. After their release of the single, I'm mainly going to be in the studio. I've been working on my second artist album for the past year and think I've still probably got around another six months left on it. And then I've got next year to look forward to, my wife Cathy and I have this concept going on at the moment with regards to our parties: 2006 is the year of sex and then next year is the year of love because we will be celebrating our 15th wedding anniversary. It's a very special time for us.

'F*** ME I'M FAMOUS: INTERNATIONAL' IS OUT NOW THROUGH MINISTRY OF SOUND RECORDINGS.
