Was Soulwax right, Are there too many DJ's?
Probably: Djing in the last few years or so has become a lot more affordable & accessible, which is no bad thing, don't get me wrong. But some of the technology has made things some what easier and so its inevitable certain people are happy to cut corners and not learn the craft properly. My flatmate often reminds me "everyones a dj!".
Do you own a Tshirt with a picture of a turntable on it?
No. I don't plan to either.
How important is it to look good behind the decks?
I don't think it matters any more than most scenarios, I'm more bothered about being comfortable. Having said that, at my last gig I did wear my favourite Ted Baker shirt, and I always freshly shave my head.
Best nightclub in the UK to DJ in?
Not that I have done, but I'm gonna say Fabric or Ministry of Sound. As you'd expect they've done things properly and the sound system / dj equipment is the best money can buy.
Do you take requests? If so ever get asked to play 'DJ Culture by the Pet SHop Boys?
I might at a house party if I have the track (which means i'll like it anyway). Overall I've been lucky in that department tho and I've been left alone. I had to google that Pet Shop Boys track... I wouldn't play it.
Why do most DJ's look like they could do with a decent meal in them?
We can be an obsessive bunch and priorities shift.
A brand you would endorse for free?
It'd have to be one I already use/wear alot or something useful. I'm open to offers...
Ever had a girlfriend threaten to smash up your record collection? If so did you chin her?
Luckily not. I think they've always known how much it means to me. Worst comes to worst i'd apply a bear hug until she calmed down.
Has anyone ever come up to you and said, 'I heard you're the best' ?
No, and if they did I'd assume they'd be taking the piss.
What is Super Scratch Sunday?
Its a session for djs to meet up, talk, share ideas, and most importantly scratch together. The scratch scene can be quite internet based sometimes so it's a good excuse to get away from a computer. It's been going about 2.5 years now, and we've been lucky enough to have djs from all over the world pass through. Check out www.superscratchsunday.com for all links concerning though.
