What do you as a DJ find the most satisfying, playing small<br />
clubs or stadiums?<br />
It’s All Satisfying as long as I get to perform my craft for the<br />
people. Could be 50 or 50,000 doesn’t matter I always give my<br />
all in my shows!<br />
You are a skilled DJ from the turntable days. What is your take<br />
on computers doing most of the work nowadays and the fact<br />
that anyone can now be a DJ?<br />
It’s sad because technology is our best friend and worst enemy<br />
at the same time. DJing now has become a novelty, a fad, a cool<br />
thing to say in a conversation but not many are putting in the<br />
hard work to become truly worthy of the title DJ! Computers<br />
are capable of doing a lot however if u let them do the majority<br />
of the work then your not a DJ, your just a Fraud.<br />
Did technology disrespect the DJ?<br />
Not at all. I feel technology really advanced the DJ. Everything<br />
I imagined back in the 90’s I can now execute live with today’s<br />
technology. With today’s technology If u were a wack DJ now<br />
your decent, If u were decent now your good, if u were good<br />
now your great, if u were great now your phenomenal. It’s<br />
more of the corporate powers that be that have Disrespected<br />
the DJ Culture by brainwashing the masses into believing that<br />
this Fake DJ (Jumping up and down, Jesus posing, Hand heart<br />
making) B.S. is the new bench mark of greatness! It’s an on<br />
going trend that has happened since Chubby Checker pioneered<br />
Rock n Roll, however never gets the credit deserved.<br />
