KT: For everyone out there looking to get into deejayin'; how did you first start and what was your 'big break'?
My first main break was when T-Rek released my track 'Turn It Down!' on Freakshow Disco Productions in December 2009, it lead to me playing at Revolver.
KT: What advice can you give to any aspiring deejays out there that want to make their hobby into a career?
DJ-ing now is more than just spinning records; I think you need to offer production as well. But don't be a sheep, try and create or do something a little different.
KT: What has been your favourite gig/venue to play at and why?
Easily Revolver Upstairs. It offers club goers something they can't find anywhere else. It also allows me to play long sets and many genres of music.
KT: Who has been the biggest influence in your career so far?
As a DJ, I'd have to say Boogs. I don't think there is another DJ who has influenced so many people whilst still keeping to himself.
KT: What projects are you working on at the moment?
Currently, just keeping on top of things with the label (Suckmusic). We're about to finish a massive overhaul of the site which is looking very good.
As for production, I'm still currently working on an album, more electronic stuff not a lot of 'dance' music, but just good music in general. Should be finished early next year. I also just finished a track with DJ PP called 'Fucking Amazing!' should be out next month and a couple of others on the way as well.
KT: For anyone who hasn't caught you live yet; what can they expect to see?
It totally depends where you catch me haha
KT: For those who have never seen you play at Revolver on a Sunday arvo - describe what it's like?
It's definitely an experience like no other club, there can be 20 people in there or 300 & both have so much vibe. Broad daylight, no fancy lights or smoke machines, just quality beer & quality music :-)
KT: What's the first song that pops into your head when you think 'Getting Tropical' and why?
Beer? ;-)
