What originally hooked you into the DJing scene?

My friends dragged me out to my first Rave(way too many years ago)... i instantly fell in love with breaks. I attended parties for years thinking about getting into DJing, but not knowing where to start, till i got a chance to buy some hardly used tech 1200s, and a PMC-05 from my brother. Took some practise and a lot of pissed off nights but i finally figured it out.

Have you got any funny/horrific DJing stories?

Taking the needle of the wrong record, Getting thrown out of a party before my set, people bouncing up and down so much that the needles did not stop hopping pretty much for my entire set,

What do you like the most about DJing?

I love the music and i think its awsome to have the chance to be in front of a crowd, playing music and seeing them going nuts cuz they love it. i honestly cant think of anything more exciting to me then when i get to spin at a party... that hour behind the tables is someting else.

What does your DJ name signify?

People started calling me B-Funk at Raves because im Bryan and i like Funky music. so it just kinda stuck with me and the first time i played at a party the promoter listed me as B-Funk and i just never bothered to change it. to be totally honest im not crazy about it, but thats who people know me as now so no point in changing it i suppose.

Who are your influences /or shoutouts?

Stimulant J - got off to a rough start with this guy but he has been a good friend of mine for a while now, he has been someone for me to look up to and he is living proof that if you just keep doing what your doing and your good at it you will be able to go places with it.

Influences - Cinto, Brad Smith, General Midi, Sharaz, Soma, Dabbler, Precise.... the list could go on forever actually, but these guys were major influences before i started spinning.

Shouts to;
Harp and Kamal for giving me my first booking
Solid Ent. Stan, Jimmy, Mike and Ben thanks for what seems like endless bookings
Average, glad we could work things out
Kraig, for hooking me up from time to time
Avana, Cousins Unite

and of course the people who come out to see me spin... thanks for the support. i hope we do it a lot in 2007. cya
