What makes a DJ a DJ?
anyone can claim to b a dj but a real DJ knows exactly the rite track to play at the rite time. a real DJ knows wat to do wen shit happens – turntables get set alight(yes in siberia) , speakers blow up (montpellier)

My favourite embarassing tune:
hahah now that would be telling!!!

Weirdest thing that happened on tour:
watching a drunk person after a show in Arizona get into his car nd back into a shop front window and get his car stuck. Then light up and wait for the cops to come and arrest him. just weird!

MP3 – VINYL: Why
i love records. got 15000 in my house bt i remember wat it was like traveling with a 25 kg box. checking in at airports and hoping they would arrive the other end. and then the warm up dj plays half the records u were going to play. so digital but wav if poss!
