  • Interview with DJ Kutski

    Andy Bagguley

    By Andy Bagguley

    On Dec 18th 2004, the mighty Midlands Hardhouse night Storm takes on Religion in a face 2 face battle of the highest order. A fantastic array of DJ's will be gracing the hallowed Emporium decks on the night, one of which is future scratch hero - Kutski. Here we have an exclusive interview with Kutski on how he is preparing for his debut at Storm!

    So Kutski, this will be your debut set for Storm. What are you most looking forward to about this gig?

    I have actually played for Storm before, years ago now like!! A night I work with in North Wales called Elevate were hosting the back room, and it was absolutely rocking!! If the crowd are as open minded and up for it as they where back then, it's gonna be one hell of a night!!

    There is a lot of buzz about you in the clubbing community at the minute. What do you think sets you aside from every other DJ?

    Cheers!! Obviously there is the whole scratching/turntablist thing, but I'd also like to think it may be because I play quite different to a lot of the other hard dance DJ's at the moment. I play a lot of underground stuff that some peeps seem to have over looked. Big name jocks play the big name tracks, and as they get them first you can't compete with that, so I'm just doing my own thing, and people seem to be into it!!

    Are you working on any production presently or focusing more on the Djing for now?

    I've done quite a bit of production this year working with some wicked producers, such as Roosta, Warp Brothers and Hip Hop/Break stuff with SPX. I'm still plugging away with the DJ'ing though, and sending out mix tapes to get my sound heard as always!

    You already have some great gigs on the horizon for 2005. Where would you like to see yourself in 12 months from now?

    I'm not sure really! I'm just enjoying things at the moment and you never know what opportunity is round the next corner! I've had some really good stuff this year that I'd never of dreamt of this time last year, so I'll just take things as they come and try to build momentum with what I'm doing!

    Are there any key tracks that are setting dancefloors alight for you right now that the Storm troopers can look forward to hearing?

    I've been playing a lot of European stuff recently, but at Storm I'll get a chance to play the UK stuff that's kicking it for me at the moment. I won't give too much away, but expect some of my new stuff, some fresh stuff from camp honey pot and a few cheeky bootlegs to boot!!

    Who has been your inspiration as a DJ or artist?

    Within hard dance, people like Bunter and Doe really, because they are awesome dj's/producers, they've always done what they believe in as opposed to just following current tends, and they're genuine, nice people!! More generally, DJ's Shadow, Z-Trip, Yoda, Hype, all give you something to think about when you hear them!

    Well thanks for this interview Kutski, we look forward to hearing you on the 18th!!

    Wicked! Thanks for taking the time to catch up with me! I'll look forward to seeing you all on the night!!
