[ Interview ] - DJ JFK

[Tony P]

During the build up to Frantic/Wildchild at the SEOne Club on the 20th March, ClubTheWorld with the help of their friends at Frantic thought it would be a good idea to interview one of the headlining DJ's at the event. JFK is a resident and promoter at Passion and rocks some of the country’s top clubs on a weekly basis.

 

We asked JFK the following questions:

 

CTW - Did you go to the miami music conference? and if so what new tunes did you pick up and who passed them on to you.

JFK - No I hated Miami when I went, full of arrogant industry music people… I like to keep it real.

 

CTW - Do you get recognised in the street or do you see yourself as an underground artist?

JFK - Occasionally I will get recognised, I think its great.. one day no one will know who i am and I will be just boring Jason Kinch again… boo.. I once got asked for my autograph in Boots…

 

Do you use any dance music forums under an alias?

JFK - No always JFk… why hide it

 

CTW - Have you ever played at the SEOne club before? if so how was your experience

JFK - No I will be and SE1 Virgin.. looking forward to it

 

CTW - Do your parents appreciate the music you play?

JFK - My dad often comes to my gigs.. gets wasted and shouts “I MADE HIM”

 

CTW - What is your favourite venue?

JFK - Apart from Passion probably the met in Ireland… and of course any WILDCHILD event.

 

CTW - Which dj's do you look up to or admire?

JFK - Any one who just rocks a crowd, whether it is in a small bar, club or festival. I like people who entertain

 

CTW - What are your plans for this year?

JFK - Just to be me… I have spent too long trying to be this that and the other and then finding out i am better of just being me.

 

CTW - What can we expect from you at the Frantic/Wildchild event?

JFK - A DAMN GOOD CROWD… cant wait

 

CTW - I've read that you played a 6 hour set on your birthday, Is this the longest set you have played? and how was it

JFK - No I have played 9 hours quite a few times before, but my six hours on my birthday at Passion was something else… the best night of my DJing life, 2500 people turned up to see just me… wow

 

CTW - With the Frantic/Wildchild event hosting 50 DJ's are there any you are looking forward to seeing?

JFK - I always like to see BK… cause he is me mate!!! Ha ha

 

CTW - What is your most memorable set and event you have played at?

JFK - The most memorable will be Velfare in Tokyo Japan… the best club in the world
