Merry Christmas love from Skream, DJ Die and the Nest
30.12.10
Skream and DJ Die had a secret Christmas Party at The Nest, for friends and family only. Guests included, Benga, Goldie and Tayo + others.
Strictly no Dubstep or Drum and Bass, Funk and Disco from start to finish. We recorded the last part of the night. It went down like this…..
Bouncers cut the sound at the end, and they were playing off monitors, hence the dip in volume ;)

Alex Warren: What’s different about clubs in London to clubs in Italy?

Mowgli: Italian clubs won’t get busy before 2am and close later then uk,
this is the first difference. Then they are much bigger, we have a lot of high capacity
venues. Music wise they arent as various as uk clubs, techno and house rules there
and there isnt much space for anything else

Alex Warren: What’s the best/most unusual thing to happen to you during a dj set?

Mowgli: The most unusual thing, I got a dude comin at me with a walkman and a tape cassete in,
asking me to play that! I mean…. it happens all the time to have people
asking for this artist or that record, but actually giving you the music its rare…
and even a tape cassette?? who the hell has a tape player anymore?? WEIRD!
I was tryng to figure out if he was taking a piss but he was actually superserious.
Anyway, I took it and i still have that walkman at home.

Alex Warren: What one person is the biggest influence on you as a recording artist?

Mowgli: One person only is very difficult, I’d say when I was a kid goin to party and buying vynil
it was all about chicago house and also all the detriot techno scene…
Derrick May, Juan Atkins, Cral Craig, Jeef Mills ecc.

Alex Warren: Who is your hot tip of 2011?

Mowgli: I really like Mendo, I think he’s a great producers, every release is high quality so i have to say him.
