How
long have you been DJing?
Just over 6 years from the
day I got my first beat mix
and started doing my own radio
show.
How
did you get started?
It has always been something
that got me excited, the whole
DJ culture. And had messed
around with old turntables
off a sony midi system when
i was like 16. When I started
university I discovered the
radio station, and it had
a pair of deck, so I went
out bought a couple of vinyl
(Bonze - DJ SS and some next
tunem the jungle days) and
stayed in the studio till
I figured out "this beat mixing
thing". After a few hours
I had my very first beat mix.
Who
was your inspiration/s?
The whole HipHop culture was
somthing that gave me a buzz
and 'the DJ' is a big part
of it the scratching ete so
all the old skool hiphop DJ's
like Grandmaster Flash, more
recently DJ Hype, Q-Bert,
Shortcut, and we can't for
get EZ its that energy that
he got when he's in the mix.
What
would you be doing if you
weren't a DJ? I
haven't got a clue.
What
do you think about the commercialisation
of UK Garage? There
is the good and the bad. You
damned if its commercialised
you damned if it ain't. Well
positive side is a lot of
people are getting recognision
and making some dollars, more
importantly its pushing the
UK's flava, its sound, britains
answer to HipHop (as a culture)
to the world. And its catching
on and Im working hard to
push this further using internet
streaming technology. .
What
other sort of music are you
into?
R&B/HipHop/Ragga/Old Skool
Jungle, always have always
will. Feeling some of the
new funky stuff coming out
like the bushwacker rmx of
'Billie Jean'.
Favourite
Club/Venue?
P'zzaz and Abyss in Napa (both
for DJing and being the punter)
Favourite
Garage Tune of all time? ohhh,
tough one here, "Sorry" -
Monsta Boy is definitly ONE
of my all time Favourite,
but THE all time tune is "It's
A London Thing"
Favourite
Garage Tune at the moment?
There ain't nothing that stands
out at the moment, some very
good tunes out though that
do drop.
Any
advice for up and coming DJs?
Many bits of advice, but I'll
keep then to my self till
I'm "up" there.
