I'm a big Aqua fan. 'Barbie Girl' was a big deal growing up.
I really enjoyed 2NE1's music; I really like BLACKPINK.
Without Ace of Base, I kind of feel Backstreet Boys would have never found their sound.
I'm a huge fan of Ace of Base. 'The Sign?' I love that song.
The first album I bought was the Spice Girls, ha ha.
In general, I love dance-pop music with some soul and a dash of R&B.
I was a huge Rick Astley and Bananarama fan.
Ke$ha IS the walk of shame.
Well, it'll always be disco/electro-pop. That's what I first wanted to do when I started out as a musician in 1977. It's only ever been dance-pop that I've wanted to do.
Anything Vince Clarke, whether it's Erasure, Yaz, or Depeche Mode. It's basically R&B with synths. It's very sexy music and perfect for gay sex.
To get a big hit single you've got to go a bit dance. You've got to go a bit Britney. I don't think I can do that - well, I could but it wouldn't look very seemly!.
I was thinking about working with Lady Gaga, not 'Born This Way' but more her old stuff that she did with RedOne from her first album. I think that would be really fun - a cool combination.
I'm, for real, the biggest En Vogue fan.
As much my music is dance music, it is also pop.
Kylie Minogue is just a demonic little idiot as far as I'm concerned. She gets cool dance producers to work with her for some bizarre reason, I don't know why. She doesn't even have a good name. It's a stupid name, Kylie, I just don't get it.
The group Bananarama has such a light, cutesy-pie sound that they make The Go-Go's sound like Led Zeppelin by comparison.
