What is your most treasured record and why?
Original pressing of David Bowie's Space Oddity.
I got my hands on it from my Friend's Father who was clearing out his old vinyl collection. I love a lot of the tunes on that plate.

Have you got any funny/horrific DJing stories?
Played in a really sketchy part of Toronto... little G-U-not thugs asking if I have any 50Cent and what not. I made an effort to look as I think he was armed.
One Guy at said House Party came up to the Decks and was all hyped... "DUDE! YOU MIX JUST LIKE MY FAVORITE DJ... KENNY KEN!" I didn't really know how to take that one.

What do you like the most about DJing?
I love the fact that when I'm spinning, I'm not thinking about anything but the Music. It's a retreat for me even though I'm only in my Living Room.

Feel free to add any additonal information about yourself
Not a lot I can really say here as I really am horrible at tooting my own Horn. I'm looking forward to coming back to Vancouver and playing out sometime.
