MC ELL THE 2009 INTERVIEW / Q&As
Where did it all start for you?
At a club night called Bouncy by dj dream along side mc unity in 1994
Where did the name come from?
A friend called erroll mc'd at an illegal rave & when I started mc'ing at my mates I used it as I couldn't think of another name and the rest is history as they say.
What gave you the initial push?
Nothing gave me the push, I always knew I wanted to be on stage and involved with music, my my mum was a dancer on stage and tv and my dad was and still is a singer in a band so you could say its in the blood!
Who would you say was putting on the best events at the moment?
From the north its gotta be rising, to see where it is now from a little night on a thursday its amazing!
Which other countries have you played?
From working in the dnb scene i've been fortunate to go, dubai,russia, poland, estonia, budapest. France, portugal, serbia montenegro, istanbul,belgium most of those places 2-3 times,I feel very priviliged and proud of that.
What was the first event you ever played?
The first event was with a m8 called smokey joe back in 1992.
What’s the best event you’ve ever played?
Id say the leeds and reading festival, being back stage with rock stars was mad, and having our own dressing room with everything laid on for us then walking on to a huge stage in front of 5000 people, getting them to 'make some noise' it was deafening!
What was your first record you bought?
Bobby Brown 'My Prerogative' still got it!
What's your favourite tune of all time, the ultimate classic?
Moby..Go! Joey Beltram..Mentasm, We are iee Lenny De Ice, Top Buzz Living In Darkness.
And when all the partying is over, how do you like to relax?
A good sleep, then time with the bambinos!
How is the scene in your eyes at the moment?
There are too many small nights popping up everywhere, and its having a negative knock on effect.
How big is your vinyl collection? What is your opinion on CDJ's? (the pros & cons)
I have a crazy selection of records from dnb to techno, breaks, reggae. Im definately a vinyl man.
Other DJs/MCs you rate?
All my boys that stand beside of most weekends
Who is/are your biggest musical influences in the world of music & why?
Bob Marley. About 13 years ago, I was going through a tough time in my life, and there is always a Marley song that can lift you
What are your feelings on the MC's?
Mc's are great :-)
What do you do outside of the dance music scene?
Ive got 3 young uns so they take up most of my time but wen i get a free wkend i ride my motorcross bike, go to the gym, go to see bands and practice my yo yo :-)
What advice would you give to up and coming DJs/Mc's/Promoters?
Be profesional and network.
If you could stage an event anywhere, where would you choose?
Outdoors, not sure where but there needs to be an outdoor rave put on, there is something magical about being in the outdoors with the good music playing!
How do you see the scene 5 years from now?
There needs to be a new breed of mc's wen us boys hang up the mics its guna go quiet!
If you had a time machine what year would you go back to and why?
Back to 93, the jungle techno days!
Any shouts you would like to make?
Shout to the old school crew, the new and those in the middle! Peace :-)
