'Digga Please', spent a long time trying to think of something creative and after a lot of failed attempts I thought using a pun of my name would be sufficient.
KT: How did you come to start deejayin'?
A mate of mine had decks and I'd often play on them before I bought my own and started thinking about DJing as a way to make some money.
KT: What has been your favourite gig so far?
By a country mile a gig I played for my uni that had about 300 people crammed into a little bar. Everyone dressed up in animal costumes getting down to something non-commercial for once was definitely a really enjoyable moment for me.
KT: What can people expect to hear form one of your sets?
Something energetic, lots of bangers, minimal and deep house. Never a dull moment and never a song played for too long.
KT: Who's your favourite DJ/Producer at the moment?
I've recently discovered an Adelaide DJ by the name of Uberjak'd, who's producing a lot of crazy remixes but a part from that bigger names like TON!C and Bingo Players are frequently played in my sets.
KT: What's the first song that pops into your head when you think 'Getting Tropical'?
Lezgo - Justin Martin & Ardalan
KT: If you had one special power what would it be and why?
Time travel, I'd be that guy who's always like, 'I had that song first'.
KT: What plans do you have for Digga Please in the future?
New residencies in the eastern suburbs of Melbourne and possibly a weekend spot in Geelong. Plus a whole lot of new bootlegs.
KT: What's your favourite memory of a live gig you've seen?
Naysayer & Gilsun in Geelong, the first time I saw them play I was in awe of the sheer diversity of sounds and creativity that goes into putting together a set like they can.
KT: To all the promoters out there; why should they book you?
I'll get your crowd jumping and fist pumping with familiar sounds and banging drops, a hot'n'heavy set that will have you glued to the dance floor.
