Needle Exchange: A DJ Questionnaire with Kiffo

By Matthew Singer

Years DJing: I started DJing house parties in 2010 with my buddy Rymes while I was in college. I got my first real gig at a bar in 2012.

Genre: Disco, house, techno.

Where you can find me regularly: Main Squeeze at Holocene, every last Saturday of the month.

Craziest gig: This gig wasn't exactly crazy but it sure was a hell of a lot of fun. Main Squeeze and Infinite Vision threw a day party this summer, and it just so happened to be on my birthday. Long story short, birthday gigs are the best.

My go-to records: I love all things disco, so it would have to be anything by Dr. Packer, Late Nite Tuff Guy, J Paul Getto or Purple Disco Machine.

Don't ever ask me to play: Dubstep.

NEXT GIG: DJs Kiffo and Rymes spin at Main Squeeze's two-year anniversary at Holocene, 1001 SE Morrison St., with Jamie Burton, Ben Tactic and Drexler, on Saturday, July 30. 9 pm. Free before 10 pm, $4 day of show. 21+.
