What originally hooked you into the DJing scene?

Seeing Q-Bert cut back in '94 got me into turntablism way back when. Went to my first rave around 95 or so and got hooked. Took me several years to get the courage to drop the cash for a set of equipment and haven't looked back since. Z-Trip was the one who got me fully into embracing the mixing of different genres together in a cohesive style and it's been my style of choice ever since.

Have you got any funny/horrific DJing stories?

mental note: don't try to fix your expensive mixer by yourself when it's still under warranty. Seriously.

What does your DJ name signify?

Back before I started DJing, I used to joke about how the day I started, (it was only a matter of time at that point) I would call myself DJ "something or other" just so that if someone ever saw me play out and asked who I was, they could reply "oooh... DJ something or other." When the time came that I actually started, I just acronymed it and it stuck.

I met Soo (and So Cool) a couple nights ago when he was playing at a little cafe called Rime on Commercial. I was impressed with track selection for sure...and that's saying a lot. :D I hardly ever find any new DJs I like these days. :noworry:

Best mashup dj in Vancouver, hands down.
