What type of Act are you?~
DJ’s
Tell us the brief history of your Act.~
The vinyldroppers met (not as DJs) outside a school disco back in 1997, the reason we were outside is that the music was too loud!! (the tracks were probably cheese too but hey).
We have been into Djing for quite sometime, Jam, the longest, we did a few sets at the Queens then stopped for a year to progress then started in the Empire and have been there for a good while now. A few private parties and the odd house one too…by request J
Who are your musical and non-musical influences?~
We feel all music should influence you, it all means something to someone, you just need to know why!
What are your goals?~
Have fun, it’s about music….making money helps too
What's your opinion of the Music Scene in Barrow?~
Its got the people, the bigger club owners need to live a little and have some different nights, get over the top 40 once in a while.
How do you promote your Act and shows?~
Through our Websites and others, Forum28.com & DSI, Posters and flyers and Barrowlocal.co.uk of course! ;)
Describe your show, visual and musically~
Chunky Sexy House Music Dirty Breaks With A Harder Edge “CSHMDBWAHE” I like to say.
What do you think about downloading music online?~
We prefer records, it needs keeping alive, decks make a DJ look like a DJ, but with various record labels stopping the production of vinyl for their tracks sometime you have to go digital…legally of course.
Tell us a story about gig that went wrong.~
Every one but the last one, we always forget something, its usually Da Funks fault.
What inspires you to do what you do?~
Other DJs. Not our parents, Not God, Each other…and the world around us
What advice would you give to fellow Acts?~
Go For it, what have you got to lose. Music is for pleasure, Music is the drug!
What are some of your pet peeves?~
When a DJ (no names) decides it’s a good idea to talk to you mid-mix, come on you do what I do you know what I’m doing!
Degrees and PHD’s – so it says theoretically you can…but can you?
What are the biggest obstacles for Acts in Barrow?~
It Depends on their Genre I’d say. But if Club/Bar owners were willing to change we might all play for the greater good.
What's the best and worst thing about playing the venues in Barrow?~
Nothing really, maybe the size and the lack of good nightspots.
Tell us about your next shows and why we should be there.~
