Few producers in the history of dance music have made such a rapid and far-reaching impact on the electronic music scene as Daniel Pearce aka Eats Everything.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Dan\u2019s journey began in 2011 with the fittingly titled debut \u2018Entrance Song\u2019<\/strong> on Catz N Dogz<\/em>\u2019 \u2018Pets\u2019 imprint, which was championed by the likes of Seth Troxler, Carl Cox<\/em>, and Jamie Jones<\/em>. Dan\u2019s next two bass-laden bombs, \u2018The Size\u2019<\/strong> and \u2018Tric Trac\u2019<\/strong> were picked up by Claude Von Stroke<\/em> for his flagship Dirtybird label, and the rest, as they say, is history.<\/p>\n

Dan has won DJ Magazine\u2019s \u2018Best British DJ\u2019<\/em>, became the only DJ ever to do two BBC Radio 1 Essential Mixes<\/em> within the space of a year, and was charted at #13 in Resident Advisor\u2019s Top DJs<\/em> poll.\u00a0Remix-wise, Dan has added the Eats Everything touch to\u00a0a broad selection of artists and labels, including Jamie Jones, Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs<\/em>,\u00a0Four Tet, Justin Martin, and\u00a0<\/em>Disclosure<\/i>.<\/p>\n

With work on his own Edible<\/strong> imprint, a relentless touring schedule trotting around the globe and his own Edible movement, Eats Everything continues to prove himself as one of the UK\u2019s finest dance music exports.<\/p>\n

Eats Everything will be manning Amnesia<\/strong>‘s Main Room, alongside Dubfire<\/strong> and Popof<\/strong>, while Sven Vath<\/strong> and Richie Hawtin<\/strong> handle Terrace duties, for TONIGHT’s Cocoon<\/strong>. Ahead of this stellar event, we caught up with Eats Everything to speak about everything (no pun intended) from Glastonbury to Twitter wars. In case you won’t be able to make it to Ibiza tonight, Eat Everything will be back in the Main Room\u00a0on Monday, September 21 with\u00a0Catz N’ Dogz\u00a0<\/strong>and Subb-an<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\u201c…you just have to man up, pull your finger out your ass & get on with it.\u201d<\/em><\/span><\/h2>\n

I know you are recently coming off a Glastonbury performance? How was the festival this year? Were there any acts you caught who particularly stood out to you?<\/strong>
\nThe festival was beyond amazing & I had an absolute blast as per usual.<\/p>\n

With regard to other acts, I really don’t go there to watch people. I just go & have a lot of fun & let loose. Lionel Richie was the only person I watched & he was great, as expected.<\/p>\n

What other festival have stood out to you (so far) this year?<\/strong>
\nAll the festivals I have played have been great but Garden Festival in Croatia is my favourite festival to go & enjoy myself at & this year was no exception. It was its last year before its metamorphosis to Love International which is going to be just as good!<\/p>\n

Now with Ibiza season in full swing, can you walk us through a typical day in the life of Eats Everything on a day when you\u2019re performing on the island?<\/strong>
\nHmmm, I wake up, take my son to Nursery (because I live on the island) then come home & buy a load of music & make a lot of edits & playlists for the night ahead. I don’t know what I’ll play but its nice got go armed with a big playlist of tracks that I may play. Then I’ll go for dinner & then to the club & have a lovely time \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

How do you prepare yourself, mentally and physically, for the rigours that Ibiza (and the summer season, at large) brings?<\/strong>
\nYou just have to get on with it. Its my job, its the best job in the world & it is hard at times but its nothing compared to digging holes or sitting in an office on a phone talking to people you have no interest in & nothing in common with so you just have to man up, pull your finger out your ass & get on with it.<\/p>\n

As you are quite active on Twitter and other social media, you definitely know the pros and cons to maintaining a prominent social media presence. Have you ever written anything on your account, which has backfired on you from the \u201cTwitter-sphere\u201d? <\/strong>
\nMany things I am sure, I can’t remember any right now specifically, but I do know that there have been certain opportunities with certain companies that have been offered, which are subject to checks & I have failed on the internet searches that they do!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Do you enjoy social media or do you find it nothing more than a marketing necessity?<\/strong>
\nI do enjoy twitter as I like conversing with people & having a laugh. Facebook is much more of a chore. Twitter is instantaneous & what you post is generally a flash in the an (so to speak) whereas Facebook posts can hang around like a bad smell…<\/p>\n

What are your thoughts on artists engaging in Twitter \u201cwars\u201d? Do you find the safety of the social media world to be inhibitive toward a wider, more substantive dialogue?<\/strong>
\nMy view on it is that if someone gives me shit, is rude to me or insulting to me or one of my friends then just like if I was in the street, I would confront them. Because I am in the public eye people think that you shouldn’t react but fuck it, I don’t like people being an asshole from behind the safety of their computer screen anymore or less than I would if they were in the open air. But to answer your question directly, yes I do think it makes the world to be inhibitive toward a wider, more substantive dialogue & it makes you realise what a lot of crude, mean & horrible people there are in the world. I kind of wish the internet hadn’t been invented at times because I believe the world was a nicer place, but its a double edged sword because I don’t think I would be anywhere near as successful if It wasn’t for the internet…<\/p>\n

Did you design of your Twitter avatar?<\/strong>
\nI didn’t design it, I found it and your are not allowed GIF images as your twitter avatar any longer but I got it before twitter disallowed them hence the fact I am not verified. I will never change it \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Aside from Twitter and Facebook you are one of the few DJs I see with a prominent following on Instragram (if you know of others please let me know as I would be interested). How do you approach your social media channels? What kind of information goes out on what channel?<\/strong>
\nI don’t really have a filter as such. I just post what I want to. I think the world should be as free as possible & be able to post what you like as long as it isn’t harmful or offensive (racism, homophobia etc etc). If its funny or interesting to me, I post it!<\/p>\n

Has there been a particular twitter feud you have found entertaining?<\/strong>
\nI don’t really pay attention tbh. Its here one minute, gone the next.<\/p>\n

Back to Ibiza\u2026As you are doing 4 dates at Cocoon, how have the dates been so far? How have you been finding the vibe on the island this year?<\/strong>
\nThe vibe on the island has been great as always & every gig I have played has also been great. People seem to give Ibiza a lot of shit & say its changed etc. It has changed but you get out of it what you put in. If you come to the island saying its not the same & that there are loads of idiots here etc then you aren’t going to enjoy yourself. If you come here thinking that its a beautiful island, bathed in the Mediterranean sun with some of the best food, restaurants & clubs in the world & its as great (if a little different) as it always has been then you will have a good time.<\/p>\n

What is your relationship with Cocoon? What does it mean to you to be a part of that long running nightlife institution?<\/strong>
\nIt means a lot to me to be part of Cocoon. I have been going to Cocoon parties for a lot longer than I have been a successful DJ & to be part of the gang is an honour & a privilege.<\/p>\n

What is the experience like playing the main room of Amnesia Ibiza?<\/strong>
\nBoth the Terrace & the Main Room are two of the best rooms in the world & its one hell of an experience playing in them.<\/p>\n

I wanted to ask a bit about your J.E.S.u.S. collaboration with Seth Troxler, Jackmaster, and Skream. How did this idea form? How far do you plan to pursue it? Will we be seeing J.E.S.u.S. releases? Like with the Patrick Topping question, how do these 3 DJs complement you, as well as each other?<\/strong>
\nJ.E.S.u.S is 4 blokes who like to have a good time & like DJing coming together & simply doing that. We will do stuff as & when we think its the right time to do so. Thats all folks. We all compliment each other in different ways. We take it each others styles on board & go with it. It’s great.<\/p>\n

What are your plans once the summer is over? Any time to relax?<\/strong>
\nPlans are to keep djing & having as much fun with my family & friends as possible because that is what life is all about. No rest for the wicked. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
