How did you decide on your DJ name?
As the Rapture say, "People don't dance no more, they just stand there like this." How often do you encounter this?
Ideal crowd?
How do you feel about requests?
Do you have a story about a particular request or requester?
What are your thoughts on Kanye's new direction (since you've made a mix of "Love Lockdown")?
808's
How do your mixes comes to you? Like "Push It" with JT? Do they just randomly meld together in your head and you then put it together in reality or do you take a song and spend time thinking about what song(s) would best compliment it?
What programs do you use for our mixes?
Do you DJ full time?
What type of marketing?
What do you do outside of DJing and marketing?
When did you play with DJ Jazzy Jeff? What was that experience like?
What drew you to DJing originally?
What are your thoughts on vinyl vs CDs vs laptops?
How would you describe yourself in five words or less—complete sentence or not:
What might we find ourselves dancing to on the dancefloor if you're the DJ?
How do you describe the genre you play?
Why'd you move to Portland from Pittsburgh?
But I hear you'll be moving back?
Who are your other favorite Portland DJs?
