How did you get into DJing?
Back when I was around 17 or 18 years old, I used to play basketball professionally until I got a knee injury and it forced me to sit at home for eight months. Before that, music was always a must in my home but during these eight months I started leaning more into DJing and producing, and that’s where it all started.
Describe the music you play in five words.
Groovy house and positive vibes
What’s the most fun you’ve ever had at a gig? Give us all the ugly details.
I just came back from my monthly island tour, so there are lots of stories and fun gigs from down there. I especially loved my gig at Loi Lay Floating Bar in Koh Phangan where I literally DJ-ed in a floating house, which is amazing and refreshing with a perfect crowd. It’s always my best gig on the tour.
What’s your favorite venue to play in Bangkok?
Glow Nightclub and Tapas. At these two clubs, whenever I play there it’s all about the music and people are there to dance and enjoy quality beats.
Which track are you most excited about right now?
Groovebox – “Gangster (Original Mix)”
Trap music: yea or nay?
Yea! To me, music doesn’t matter from what genre it comes from, if its good then its GOOD.
_________ always packs the dance floor.
DJ Lion & Pepo – “Mock Talk (Original Mix)”
What’s one song you have played before but will never, ever play again?
Back in 2006, I had to play “Happy Birthday” in the middle of my house music set. The request came directly from the owners and they insisted. Later on, I made the decision to never again take such requests in my music career.
What’s the best way for someone to get you to play their request?
Suggest a track that fits my flow on that night. If it does work and I have it in my bag, why not. It’s always good to listen to other people’s taste in house music
What shows/residencies do you have lined up?
I’m staying in Thailand for two to three more months for this season. There will be lots of appearances in clubs in Bangkok and the islands. After that, I’m heading to the Middle East for my summer residencies and to organize my yearly electronic four-day festival “Forest Frequencies” in Lebanon.
