DJ Wash Interview

[Mixer]

Q1: Could you give us a brief self-introduction?
I’m obsessed with Drum’n’Bass…. new, old, whatever… it’s all good! Started spinning in Sydney, Australia back in 2000. Moved here 3 months ago and found the MagneticSoul Crew. They’ve been fantastic, getting me to play where they can. Now helping these guys out with parties etc… spinning where I can really.


Q2: What kind of music do you play?
Drum ‘n’ Bass. From Liquid Funk, Rollers, Tech to Jump up, all rolled into in set, whatever pleases the ear really.


Q3: Who’s your biggest musical influence?
Musically (non-Drum‘n’Bass) Anything Jazzy, anything that has good piano riff in it really… love that sort of stuff.
Drum‘n’Bass wise… There are many… DJs include Friction  and Zinc. And Producer, Calibre is a big one, Break, DJ Ritual (DJ/Producer from Sydney, amazing production coming from Downunder right now!) and too many to count.


Q4: What makes you wanna DJ? And how did you start your career?
I guess it’s just one of the many exact same stories you hear about DJs and how they become one… I saw Krafty Kuts in Melbourne, Australia ages ago and after that, had to get my own decks and just started spinning… Breaks and Hip Hop was big back then, but I’ve moved on now… thank god!


Q5: Favorite track of the year?
2004 – Mr.Majestic – Calibre or True Romance – D Bridge
2005 – Don’t have one yet… too many good tunez out there to pick right now.


Q6: Best thing about playing a live set?
Being able to please the crowd with your own selection is fantastic. You’re bringing your own type of “soundâ€
