6. What makes you unique as a DJ apart from others? In other words, define your success and how you got there. Are you a trendsetter? I think the thing that separates me from others is that I'm a big risk taker. I'm not afraid to play to try new sounds. I love it when someone comes up to me ask me what's that your track your playing. I never heard that before. I want to know more about it. Also crowd interaction is key. . I'm always dancing behind the booth, making eye contact with the club goers.. The dj is the master of the crowd for the night. If your having a good time, they also will have a good time. It's about exchanging energy!

7. How do people respond to the type of music you play? When they don’t respond favorably, do you change your lineup or playing strategy? Do you mix new, leading edge music with sounds that you know are popular just to break the audience in? Usually I get a very good response to what I play. If they don't respond in a good way, I try to play something with less of an edge without losing the underground feel. Usually I will play something the audience can somewhat recognize to lead them into my world of sound!

8. What are the qualities that make a good DJ? How important is it to listen to what people want as opposed to being a trendsetter? A good dj educated the crowd. Lots of crowd interaction, good selection, excellent technique. . I would say it's more important to be a trend setting. Djing is an art form .I don't think being a human jukebox isn't good. Anybody can do that.You have to give what the people want to a point. Remember it's like painting a picture. You wouldn't take someone's paint brush and tell them how to pain the picture.

9. What has made your business as a DJ successful? Do you take requests from the people? How important is interaction with the people? I'm always looking for what's fresh an underground with an edge .I don't like to take request. Like I said before your painting a picture with music. Respect the artist. It's very important to interact with people because the dj is the master of ceremony for the night

10. Would you say that being in this part of the music business you have learned a great deal about human behavior? Yes I figured out with certain selections and the way you manipulate sound can trigger intense emotion from your audience.

11. How do you think DJs will shape the future of music? Underground dj usually look for fresh creative records to play. Commercial DJ's look for what's hot on the radio or video. DJ's are the ones that set the trends !

12. How has music changed compared to the year that you started?
The scene i'm into didn't change much. It was more about Funky House Back than. Now it's more about the Electro sound. I think it's because it has the elements of the early house music (ACID HOUSE). It's all coming back around.

13. Where do you think music is going in the next 5 years? Will it be less “tribal” sounding or even more experimental with techno sound applications? It's going to be more on the experimental with techno applications. I see a new movement happening with the merge of electro and rock. Most of it is coming out in France. Daft Punk brought that French style in the the late 90's It's all coming back. Many rock groups used this sound in the 80's also!!!

14. Being in this business as long have you been, how do you think music shapes the psychology and behavior of a generation? What positive and negative effects do you see music having on a generation? I think the electronic scene is the best for the youth because it promotes positively, The scene gives you a sense of freedom. In the electronic scene you can be your self . I can't say that about the mainstream because big companies control everything
