Styles played: “That’s a long list… I like to say ‘the good kind.’ But technically, hiphop, funk, house, disco, broken beat…”
DJing philosophy: “For so long I was caught up in having the newest underground sounds, but over time I’ve come to realize that the only thing that matters is connecting with the people listening. I get so much out of sharing music I find with others, and the feedback I can get from a dance floor is all that I really need. New music, old music—I never even look at release dates or labels much. I just listen, and if it is dope, then it goes in the rotation. Simple.”
Your preferred format: “Vinyl-controlled Serato and vinyl.”
Worst request: “From my experience, it seems that requests are generally presented to you by really self-important people who need to show their friends how awesome they are. I generally just nod my head and keep my headphones on. Did you come here to dance or did you come here to give the DJ shit by basically saying they are doing it wrong? Pick another venue, or go back and dance with your friends who are having a good time already.”
