Tell us about the new single - what's the story behind it?

Not sure if there's really a story behind it! Ultimate Orange had been around for a while, almost a year actually. Way Back was just a case of wanting to do something a bit different, I'd found some brass samples and thought I'd base a tune around them. Way Back's what came out.

Do you feel that you have strong influences on your production style, both in terms of sounds and individuals?

I think Way Back to me sounds a little bit like Orbital, they were a massive influence on me when I was younger. I like loads of different producers and I suppose elements of their sound find their way into my tracks, but it's not really intentional. I really like what people like Lee Mortimer or Justin Martin are doing at the moment, but I'm not going to deliberately try to make a track that sounds like them and just slavishly follow what's new or the 'now sound'. I just try to be honest with the music I make, I like things to have some melody and emotion in them.

How do you feel your production style has changed since your first began making tunes?

Again going back to Way Back, to me that track actually sounds more like me than anything I've done in the past couple of years. I released an album as one half of Pea Green Boat in 2004, and that was very melodic, home listening electronica, and when we played live we used to beef it up a bit with house beats. Way Back has all those elements, what I think has been added is slightly better engineering skills so there's more of a dancefloor production style to it.

Is the workflow and overall feel of your output the same?

The workflow of my output? Not sure what that means! I don't get as much time to write as I did when I was a student or when I wasn't working five days a week at Fat!, so most of my tracks tend to be finished bleary-eyed at 3 in the morning knowing I need to get up in five hours.

You're quite a busy man - can you give me a run down of a typical day at the Fat! office for yourself?

It's really varied. I'm normally in sometime between 10/10.30, check emails, then I can have any number of meetings - with Saleem who manages the DJ agency, Paul Arnold who's back now about the events side of things, the guys at The End, venue owners, marketing agencies, Fat! Agency DJs, prospective Fat! Agency DJs, work experience candidates - or I'll be talking to agents trying to put together lineups for Chew The Fat, organising 16 weeks' worth of DJs for our season out in Ibiza, dealing with festival promoters, coordinating the PR for all the events we're involved with, getting flyers designed, banners printed, running competitions! It keeps me busy. If I ever get a spare moment I'm generally on Myspace looking for new DJs or exciting records that are coming through.

What's the most diversive place you've found yourself in the call of duty?

OK this has stumped me - I've looked it up and diversive isn't even in the dictionary. Diverse place? Probably London.

If there is one aspect of your life that you could change, what would it be?

I'd like 36 hours in the day.

What can we expect from the Kid Blue/Fat! camp in the coming months?

I've got more singles coming out later in the year on Fat! as well as remixes for Elite Force and Sinister Recordings, and Fat! has new albums from Merka and Gella in the pipeline, as well as 4 new label imprints starting up.

Can you give an example of three words where 'Y' is the vowel?

Hymn, hymen and hyena
