DJ/PRODUCER
1. Hardware or software?
Both, why not!
2. What hardware/software (use as applicable) do you use to produce?
Akai 3200, Mackie desk, Logic, Loads or soft synths etc. I like my beats to come out of a sampler though definitely.
3. CD/MP3 or vinyl?
Vinyl!
4. Can you describe your sound?
I really like to try and use lots of different elements in my music, the main thing is that it works on a dance floor
5. What projects are you currently working on?
I'm working on an EP for Renegade Hardware at the moment as well as some other little projects I'm keeping quiet about until they're finished!
6. Do you plan to tour soon? If so, where?
I'm gonna tour the us and Australia again b4 the years out
7. Are you working on any other genres other than Drum & Bass?
No, but I will when I get my own studio
8. Are there any Drum & Bass artists you would like to work with?
Id really like to work with BC and Keaton again soon as well
9. How do you manage bad conditions when you are DJing?
Examples: Slip mats, faulty turntables, bad acoustics!
I would say the best thing to do when its going on like that is to not try and be too adventurous. There is no point trying to impress if the conditions are gonna fuck you up, cos you'll just end up looking silly. Trust me its happened to me b4!
10. Is there a certain tune you would like to remix?
Would have been Renegade Snares by Omni trio but I got beaten to it!
11. Are there any non-Drum & Bass artists you would like to work with?
Dr Dre, Timbaland, Neptunes', loads of people!
12. What Drum & Bass tunes are currently at the front of your record box?
Neo – Hive, B There in The Morning – Ill Skillz vs Concord Dawn, Martians – Dkay, Infected Spirit - Friction & Dylan
13. How did it feel when you first heard someone drop one of your tunes at a club?
It really is a wicked feeling, I still feel the same way now every time I hear someone play one. (Maybe slightly different if the DJ isn't meant to have the tune!)
14. What can we expect from Transparent in the near-future?
Some more stuff by Raiden, a Rascal and Klone EP with a Militia remix, and some other nu cutting edge artists!
15. Do you have a favourite "all time" tune?
Unfinished Symphony ‘Massive Attack’ or ‘Renegade Snares’ by Omni Trio
16. Do you consider yourself a better DJ or producer?
Definitely a better DJ, im not a my peak level as a dj or a producer but ive been djing longer. The best is yet to come!
17. Turntables.. Technics or Vestax?
Technics of course!
18. MCs.. yes, no, or depends?
I work well with any mc that actually wants to work with me, not just pick up the mic and chat a whole heap of nonsense over the music to look good in front of his friends. I listen to hip-hop a lot, I love good MC’s but you have to work as a team!
19. Dubplates.. 10 or 12 inch?
12 inch! Nice and Loud.
20. Computer format.. PC, MAC, or both?
PC but I may well be switching to Mac soon!
21. Bootlegs.. yes, no, or depends?
As a DJ, ill play it if its good
