Louis Den BeatCypher 04 Spotlight "DJ IQ"
Hey!!, please introduce yourself to everybody; let us know who you are what you do and how long you've been doing it!.
Hello, I'm DJ IQ. I DJ, So by this i mean mixing & selecting records, scratching, beat juggling, getting the party started!
I also produce, by this i mean making beats, recording songs, mixtapes and generally bringing projects to reality! i've been doing this for far too long, ha ha nah on the real i'm just getting started....
Was there a defining moment (event / hearing a record etc) that led you into making beats / becoming a producer?.
I can't say there was one defining moment, around the time when i started djing for jehst in the early 00's is when i started to wanna make beats. Before that i didn't even know it was possible, i'd just mix records and cut em up all the time. Now its fully fledged art to me, expression and all that!
What was your first peice of equipment and what were those beats like?, any interesting stories about things were doing to begin with / finding your feet?
I started on an mpc 1000, now using a 2500 and to be honest they pretty similar! i'm a scatty worker man...most people can't understand me LOL I'm like throw the rule book out the window NO RULES and lets make some hip hop that BANGS. Some beats i don't even got the parts to anymore but its just RAW you know what i mean?
Whats the one bit of advice youd give to anyone starting out today?
Do it for the love man, if you want the P's u got to study the game. Hip Hop doesn't owe you a living so you got to go hard!!!!
What can heads expect from you at LOUIS DEN BEAT CYPHER?
