octocast.jpg Ok, so I need some practice with my interview skills and, of course, the technical aspects of recording more than one voice at a time.. BUT I did manage to pin down one of the finest turntablists to ever win the World DMC finals, in fact the ONLY Asian DJ to ever win AND the only DJ to ever get 10/10 from every judge; DJ Kentaro.
Our chat was the day after Kentaro’s debut gig in Bangkok, and what a show it was.. a true master showman and technical wizard.

Next podcast will feature highlights from the gig at 808, so stay tuned for more!!

BK Magazine Reader’s Choice Awards

October 21st, 2007
BK Magazine Favorite DJ award Thumbnail Super chuffed with my award, a massive ‘thankyou’ to anyone that voted for me.. never expected to win, so it was a very nice surprise to hear that I had. The award ceremony wasn’t quite what I’d expected, it was a rather laid back affair - no ceremony, no speeches - instead a decent Indian-buffet and free booze.

Q Bar also won ‘Best Bar’ and ‘Best Ladies Night’, I also play at Bed Supperclub and they won ‘Best place to dance’.
