2007 Australian DMC Final

Q&A with dj buick1. How long have you been involved in the scene?
Been lurking about at parties since 1997 and started playing out in 1999-2000.

2. How did you get into dj’ing?
One of my older brothers used to take me to raves back when I was around 14/15 and I used to just watch whoever was playing and try and figure out what how it all worked. From there I started going through the vinyl at stores and collecting them, then got my first turntables in 1998.

3. Do you remember your first rave?
Peanuts at the anu – 1997

4. Tell us about your first set?
It was a party called ‘ The Fourth Element’, in 2000. An outdoor rave in the outskirts of canberra, at uriarra crossing. It was the first chance I got to play alongside locals I’d been collecting tapes of, like Dred, JC and Kaos, so that was killer. I played a Jump-up set.

5. What was the first record you bought?
Creative Drum & Bass by Dr S Gachet & DJ SS and luckily I still have it.
It had a few good tunes on it, but the stand out one was ‘The Message’ by shy fx.

6. What types of music do you listen to?
A whole range of stuff, but mainly: Jungle/DnB, Funk/Soul, Hip Hop, Dubstep, Grime, Glitch.

7. What did you have for breakfast this morning?
Lunch

8. Who is your favourite dj apart from me?
DJ Noize [Denmark]

9. You won 3 A.C.T DMC’s in a row, tell us your secrets?
Procrastination and cramming. In that order.

10. Your a pretty busy dj what party’s have you played at this year, any favorites?
It’s still early in the year, but so far the Nextmen, Suburban Music Festival, a couple of Fullmoon Parties and the TJS Boat Party were all fair epic in their own ways.

11. If you were trapped on a deserted island and you could take one thing what would it be?
Internet
