What originally hooked you into the DJing scene?

I blame ppcock. :p He got me interested and I've been hooked ever since.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
What type of music do you specialise in?

Drum'n'Bass (Liquid Funk and Dubwize are the styles that I prefer) at the moment but as soon as I get my hands on a Digital Solution I'm going to get back to my original genre of choice: House

Most expensive vinyl that you have paid for? - how much was it?

I don't really have anything that was obscenely expensive.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
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.
