DJ WOOD

[email protected]

Genre Of Music:
BANGERS n MASH!!

Affiliations:
Boomtown Records, Bangers'n'Mash

How long have you spinning the decks for?
15 years? yeah... i feel old.

What originally hooked you into the DJing scene?
it was the early rap videos. he always looked like the man in control of everything.

What type of music do you specialise in?
The kind that makes the ladies shake them hips. genres are largely meaningless to me.

Most expensive vinyl that you have paid for? - how much was it?
I pay wholesale bitches!!

What is your most treasured record and why?
The Jimmy Castor Bunch - "It's Just Begun" LP - original pressing. Because it's the only record i play consistantly that would be really difficult to replace!

What events have you played at?
too many to list (500+) but a few goodies were Zwack (2001-2003 @ Unit 20, Vancouver - best residency EVAR), Sunday Sessions (2001-2002 @ Sonar), Rinse NYE (played the Royal Platoon NYE bash the past 3 years), Soundwave (annual island hoe-down in Tofino...), Diversity Festival (ran the Boomtown stage at this Texada Island event last summer, for the first time but definitely not the last), Twisted's 'Grand Finale' @ the Plaza Of Nations (yo Kraig, when u gonna book me again?), Solid Corp's 'Midnight Masquerade' NYE '05 @ PNE Collesium, Automatic (5 years deep @ Lotus... i don't make it out much anymore but still got mad love for this night), Auto's Clash parties (i've rocked 2 or 3.. can't remember which ones), Bangers'n'Mash @ The Met Pub (my current residence), Good Sundays @ Vibes (only occasionally but hella fun every time), Urban Lounge @ Vivid Breaks w/ DJ Lorin was freakin awesome... i'll soon be adding SHAMBHALA '05 to this list as well.... oh yeah, and in my days as a DNB jock, i opened for a pretty impressive list of heavy hitters, incl. Ed Rush, Shy FX, DJ SS, Grooverider, Mickey Finn, Bad Company, Teebee, Marky, Bryan G, Goldie, Klute, Accidental Heroes, Marcus Intalex, Twisted Individual, Hive, Phantasy, Kenny Ken, Ray Keith, DJ Suv, Adam F, Craze, Visionary... well you get the picture. Also have played on several Ninja Tune bills including opening slots for Amon Tobin, Luke Vibert, DJ Vadim & Herbaliser.

Have you got any DJing horror stories?
heh... my entire life is a DJing horror story. Don't get me started.

Are you a resident DJ, if so where?
none currently... recently quit The Met Pub, going travelling in February and when i get back... WATCH OUT

Any other information?
i'm also currently addicted to my cats, Trailer Park Boys, and Super Mario World.

I'd love to see Sherwood out playing more dancehall sets. They are good times!

^ Wood's been playing nothing but dancehall and hiphop for the last year I don't think I've heard Wood drop a dnb record since Texada...
