HOW YOU DOING LOXY?
I'm good man. Chilling.
WHY DID YOU COME OUT HERE
TONIGHT BRUV? WHAT WAS
YOU THINKING?
I gotta play man. I gotta roll
it out you know. Standard
business. Renegade Hardware
for me, it's lasted so long and
been so consistent due to the
fact that it always invests in new
talent. What makes it so strong
is consistency. When it comes
to the club nights they always
come correct. They have a wide
variety of lineups. They kinda
cross wide spectrum with drum
and bass. I think that's what
kind of sets them apart to other
nights.
Hardware tend to bring the
focusing on all the styles that's
going on in drum and bass at
the moment. You can have your
techy, you can have your jungly
DJ, or your more ravey DJ and
they'll be all under one line-
up. That's basically the main
ingredient why it's lasted so
long.
I'm like a DJ's DJ in the sense of,
I bring it back to the old school
mixing and telling a story. That's
always my main thing. I'm not
one of those wham bam DJ's.
I'm more of a guy that likes to
build something up and take
you on a little kind of journey. So
as long as people keep making
good new music, for me that
would keep me going.
Renegade Hardware's important
to the scene in London because
no one else is doing it like this.
It all works together to make
the scene, as a whole, a better
thing; keeping the scene stable.
Without this, that's a big chunk,
and that's a lot of artists as
well that you might not hear.
London's the source. Not to
disrespect anywhere else, but
it's the source of nightlife and
stuff, so for me it's always going
to be strong here.
That's it. That's pretty much it.
All good music covered.
