We all have our first times. Want to know that special moment of Charlotte De Witte, Enrico Sangiuliano, Nicole Moudaber, Secret Cinema and many others? Maybe I interviewed your favorite dance icon about it. Check it out!
Kipa: “Beautiful break in clumsy set”
What Kipa learned from his first gig? In 2017 he told me. “No liquids near the gear.”
Joe Farr: “So this is what happens at parties!”
In 2017 UK DJ Joe Farr told me about his first gig. “The first time that I took half a pill.”
Hoj: “A bit of a neat freak”
Hoj remisced with me about his first gig in a Californian coffeeshop in 1999. He was 21, so just old enough to drink. To make sure that the vinyl didn’t skip, he wiped each one of them with an old vinyl brush.
David Leese: ”Immediately felt in my element”
After two spontaneous run-ins it was time to interview Dutch DJ David Leese about his first gig. He could play his own records in a “not too hectic environment.”
Christian Smith: “Not a very good warm-up DJ”
In April 2017 I interviewed Swedish techno-DJ and producer Christian Smith about his debut. “People thought I had played too many ‘big’ tracks.”
32Stitches: “Father’s opinion matters most”
In December 2017 I had the opportunity to interview the Indian 32Stitches about his first gig. He remembers it very well: “It was an experiment that ended up flooding the place with people.”
