How long have you spinning the decks for?
6 years

What originally hooked you into the DJing scene?
After going to my first party and seeing how one person could connect with so many through music, I decided it was something I should try. I'd always been in bands and it amazed me how an individual could control such a large crowd.

What type of music do you specialise in?
Mostly I play breaks, but also some house and progressive combined with myself playing live electronic percussion, as well as scratching and heavy fx work.

What is your most treasured record and why?
This varies all the time, I guess if I had to pick one it would be Underworld's - Born Slippy, I bought it for 2 pounds in the UK and I still play it every now and then when I get the urge.

What events have you played at?
For a detailed list please visit www.poundrecordings.com


What National / International clubnights have you played at?
Lucy Mae Brown, Shape, Good, POUND, Seks, FreeHouse, Union Events, Vivid Sessions, Gabbo's (Regina), The Palace (Halifax), Edit, Bassline Reflections (halifax), Logik, LSC (Seattle), Viva (Seattle) and a bunch more

Have you got any DJing horror stories?
This past Halloween in Nelson, a girl came up while I was playing and insisted on scratching and playing my drum machine because she "graduated from UBC and knows how to use this shit." I politely told her I couldnt do that right now and eventually she wandered off :)

Are you a resident DJ, if so where?
no club residencies at the moment, but past ones have been
POUND Wednesdays
Seks
Logik
Shape
Blue

Any other information?
Check out www.poundrecordings.com for my full bio on there, along with future/past gigs, top ten listing and some mix sets.

Akeel is a name known by all in the Vancouver electronica scene.

If this is the first time you have heard of Akeel - then you should stop and give your fucking head a shake.

I must say Akeel, you have recently become one of the few of my all time favorite locals in the area :y:

Always worth time to really check out what Akeel can do on the decks and drums ;)
