Style:
Stereotypically 'dubstep' though I've never claimed to be a dubstep producer.
Best known for:
Being a workaholic, making bangers, making EDM purists butt-hurt, having too much energy.
Tune of the year:
Kill Frenzy 'Booty Clap' (Dirty Bird).
Breakthrough DJ/Producer of 2012:
"Disclosure
If you were a superhero, what would your superpower be:
Superman. Doesn't have too much of a haunted past, gets to fly and is pretty much impossible to kill.
Should you play to the crowd or for yourself:
I don't play songs I don't like in any situation.
What does EDM mean to you:
An easy way to classify music that's made "electronically" that you can dance to.
Should celebrities be DJs:
It's more a question of whether promoters should pay a celebrity with no DJing experience and no following more than a DJ who has been grinding it for longer JUST because they are a celeb.
Have you ever been thrown off the decks:
Not yet
Are you a DJ if you don't beat match:
Although I've been accused of it, I've never "played" pre-recorded sets and wouldn't consider that DJing. Aside from collecting vinyl which takes time and lots of space, all the tools to become a DJ are accessible to everybody so it's pretty fair game. If you're using Traktor or Ableton and your mixing and transitions are on-point, then you're DJing by today's technological standards.
Where's the next dance music capital:
Puerto Rico. There's already a strong scene there and unlike the UK and most places in Europe, it's easy to get to from the States. No immigration hang-ups either!
