What originally hooked you into the DJing scene?

watching DJ Sasha at a party put on by the Alien mental association REST for fun
at the end of the show i wanted to try mixing. My buddy Lex bought tabels after getting his first visa and i started showing up at his house and buying records.

Have you got any funny/horrific DJing stories?

I tried to dunk a balloon in a gymnasium when i played in winnipeg after i dunked it i tried gripping the rim and then my forward momentum made me lose grip. I dropped about 8 feet onto my shoulder and when i started mixing i couldn't even move afterwards at the gig.

What do you like the most about DJing?

Having the crowd in the palms of your hand. Listening to an amazing track for the first time.

What does your DJ name signify?

It signifies that your personality should reflect in your music and djing isn't just about playing music but it's about leadership as well. You have the ability to influence so use it positively . Serotonin is the neurotransmitter which creates a feeling of calmness and being content to simplify when the key to communication after all is comfort level. So i try and make people feel comfortable around me so i can learn about who they truly are.

Who are your influences /or shoutouts?

My influences are all my friends who i have shared my thoughts and opinions with throughout the years.
shoutouts to all the dj's who have deflated egos because it's not just the person playing the music but the crowd responding to the music that creates the hype.

Feel free to add any additonal information about yourself

I have ADHD and it shows when i play. I feel some of the most creative disc jockeys i have ever met that have add or adhd are all a bit more creative when they play live.

Your wish is my command.
I always believe that a set should be similar to a movie or play as there is always a certain structure to follow. In fact how many movies have you watched with multiple climaxes?

this guy is the real deal
Pete rules!!

[Kraig]

^ I agree. Props Pete for everything you're doing the the 'loops!

You as well Brat!
