FEATURE:DJ INTERVIEW WITH EMMA CHAMPION

AS WELL AS DOING US AN EXCLUSIVE 30 MINUTE MINUTE GARAGE MIX WHICH YOU CAN DOWNLOAD HERE,

WE CAUGHT UP WITH DEJAVU’S  EMMA CHAMPION FOR A CHAT ABOUT GARAGE, SHOES AND DJING.

 

1. How did you get started with your DJing? 

An ex partner is a dj and I started practicing on his decks. I got the bug and bought my own and started buying vinyl to play and taught myself at home.

2. How did you become a Dejavu resident ?

I got my first radio show on DejaVu FM 3 years ago and I’m still there!

   
3. Where would be your dream venue to play? 

An underground club in New York

4. What clothes do you prefer to wear when you play out? 

Something comfortable!

5. If you had 3 vinyls you could save in a fire what would they be? 

Three is not enough! But Large Joints Friends, Black Rascals Keeping my mind and The Cheese & Pickle EP 

 

6. Do you prefer Radio sets or Live sets? 

Radio, I’m an introvert so prefer doing my thing like that

7. Vinyls or VIP dubs on CDs 

Vinyls every time…

8. What’s the biggest difference between radio and live sets? 

No distractions with radio, no stress getting paid and no-one asking for The Jackson 5 whilst you’re playing Spin spin sugar…

9. Do you produce ?? 

No

10. Where was your favorite gig ??  

A warehouse party New Years Eve in Old St where half the crowd were naked  

Listen in to Emma’s radio show on DejaVu FM Friday nights 10pm till midnight

FEATURE: BECKS ON THE DECKS INTERVIEW

I CAUGHT UP WITH ONE OF GRIMES NEW GIRLS ON THE BLOCK.

BECKS ON THE DECKS IS ONE OF MANY GIRLS STEPPING UP TO THE DJ BOX AND SHUTTING THINGS DOWN.

I GOT AN INTERVIEW WITH HER JUST BEFORE SHE STARTED HER 1XTRA RESIDENCY, HERE’S WHAT WENT DOWN .

1. How did you get started with your DJing? 

I started DJ’ing when I was 14, I had these shitty Numark CDJs and I used to play at my friends house parties and anywhere that would let me in really.

2. How did you become a 1xtra daily dose resident ?

My DJ’ing started to kick off for me towards the end of last summer, MistaJam played my ’1500 Seconds of Fame’ mix and it all got a bit crazy from there. Since then I upped the work rate, put out more mixes and played out loads..I think Jam recognised that and that’s why he asked me to be a resident.

3. Where would be your dream venue to play? 

Probably Outlook Festival so I’m hyped to be playing there this year

4. What clothes do you prefer to wear when you play out?

It depends, I’m not usually one for bait brands but you will rarely catch me not wearing a pair of Jordan’s or Timbs..I should really go around in some huge platforms inc ase the venue doesn’t have a box for me to stand on! I have a residency with Mono Audio and they promised they are gonna build a box for me with Jordan’s attached on to save time…

5. Do you prefer Radio sets or Live sets? 

Recording my Daily Dose mixes on 1Xtra is hard work cos I only use CDs, but it’s worth it to hear the finished product on air every 2 weeks. I guess I prefer DJ’ing at a club because it’s more fun than not being able to leave my uni room for days on end!

6. Do you produce ?? 
Nope and I don’t plan to at the moment. A few people have suggest I start but it’s just not for me, I wouldn’t put my all into it if I did because it’s not my main interest..I’d choose radio over producing to be honest, it would be sick to have a show on Rinse one day.

7. Where was your favorite gig ??  

Probably when I played at Mint during my first few weeks of Leeds Uni last September. It’s one of my favourite clubs and Hudson Mohawke cancelled so Ossie, TCTS and I filled in. I had just turned 19 and it was a lot!
