It’s
Every- thing Time
From his huge Pets Recordings debut, ‘Entrance Song’, through an arsenal of personal re-edits, to his most recent ‘Vertigo’ EP for San Francisco’s Dirtybird, Eats Everything is the man whose beefed-up house beats are as big as his presence in the booth.

So how are you doing these days? “I’m doing really good, actually, mate, really good indeed. I just got married, my career’s going pretty damn well, and I’m about to tour America, which is exciting. I’m really looking forward to it.”
Congratulations on getting married. When did that happen? “A month ago yesterday. We got married in Ibiza. It was at this three-tiered bar on a cliff with its own private beach. It was really cool.”
So how was your summer? “Summer was amazing. I did pretty much everything I wanted to do DJ-wise. I played pretty much all of the dream places. I’ve already played Fabric [the iconic London club], but I played Fabric again. I got to play all of my favorite festivals — Secret Garden Party, I played Croatia — it was just a jam-packed, amazing summer.”
