INSITE: If you could have a drink with any DJ/producer, who would it be?
Hudi: Richie Hawtin. The king of electronic music, one of the reasons I got into music 14 years ago.
Favorite Track?
It’s hard for me to say which song is my favorite; there are so many. Here I’ll single out one that always lifts the mood: Armand Van Helden – I want your soul.
