The second person I have for you to hear from is Davin Greenwell aka. AFK from Victoria Canada.

1. When did you first get interested in Dance/Electronic Music


First had to be seeing my brother doing a live PA for his band composition class in 1990 or so. It sounded like technotronic, which I suppose came first.. when did they first come out? Late 80s I think. I thought those beats were pretty good at the time.


2. Who or what has been your biggest influence


Musically there are a few - Hybrid, Ulrich Schnauss, LSG / Oliver Lieb, that kind of thing.


3. What has been the craziest experience while Djing?


DJing with Hybrid themselves was pretty amazing at Hush. Also finishing a set at Summer Break and walking to the next stage to see Coolio starting his own set and dissing the audience was pretty entertaining.


4. Serato/Vinyl/Cd’s?.... Any Thoughts?


Not really, I'll use them all to play music.


5. Where do you see yourself in 10 years?


Maybe doing more accessible stuff like Delerium or Conjure 1. The DJ scene is fairly limited insomuch that non-clubbers tend not to listen to club music. And non-clubbers are most people.


6. What is one piece of technology you can’t live without?


Ableton Live is amazing.


7. What is the best musical festival or show you have attended?


VEMF (Victoria Electronic Music Festival) without a question. Freaks of Rhythm was the same vibe - community oriented, no walls between genres like most electronic events.


8. Who is your favorite producer or band at the moment?


Claes Rosen - tight perc, great synths, nice basslines. I like.


9. Worst Habit?


Taking on too much extra curricular activities. Including throwing raves, festivals, radio shows, and club nights.


10. What is your dream vacation?


Somewhere tropical, Trinidad and Tobago specifically. One of these days.



Also as a final note, is there anything you would like included in my blog post that wasn’t covered in these questions?


Well you should look for,... Myself performing in Victoria at Sunset Room on November 21st, as well as doing a show at Sugar on October 16th with Vince Vaccaro. I am also making music with rocker girl Laura Mitic, also a few more projects on the side which I hope will bear some fruit, one of which is with Vince.
