YEAH! @ Apex 05 this underage girl was dancing on the stage with hardly any clothes on. Out of nowhere she vomitted in b/w kick steps and kept going. Prolly the best thing I have ever seen.

I like how I can take someones favourite genre(s) of music and create a seamless mix of what they would want to hear and play it better than how they would usually hear it.

Who are your influences /or shoutouts?

Locally? Theres some really great djs that have influenced me.

I spent countless times @ spanish cultural centre trying to watch and listen to precise's every move. He may be an old man now but back in the day he really knew how to work a floor. J/J

Although Dj Akeel can be a real asshole to play with some of my fav sets have been w/ him. Hes been at it for a while and always has something new up his sleave.

I have played a shitload of dj sets with Dj Soma. We have great chemistry and a similar style. Hes been very supportive of me since the beginning wether its on or off of the decks.

Theres a ton of other djs that I love to hear and or play with, Ryan Ross, Adam Omega, Kenny Ninewells, Stimmy J, Lenny Ford, Oliver Nickels, Matty Mids, so many more that im forgetting.

Special Shoutout to AGRO Dave, Swift Beats, Avana, Harp and Kamal, Aittila, and DA, All these people especially the first two have been a huge part of me since I started djing. Also big up to Shaun and Pedro for giving me the opportunity to work @ one of the most succesful hip hop nights in town.
