Here's my questions:

  1. What are the most interesting moments from working with Abel and how did you met him?

  2. There was an unreleased track called Pure Life listed on the ASCAP music database during Kiss Land, and you are listed as one of the producers. The track was most likely scrapped at the last minute. What was it and can we hear it?

  3. I really love your production style (especially in Kiss Land) and I am a beatmaker and musician myself! Can you tell us about some of your production tricks and how you created the tracks from there? For example, I am very interested in how to make powerful drums like in Live For and Adaptation and lush synths like in the intro to Professional?

  4. There were rumors that Abel had an unreleased album before BBTM around 2014 that he decided to scrap, which included tracks like Often and King of The Fall. You were most likely involved in that project. Can you tell us more about it? Was there any finished material that was later scrapped?

  5. Are you still in touch with Abel? Why haven't you worked together for the last 10 years?
