Chew The Fat! Interview

The lovely people at Fat! decided to ask me a few questions ahead of my Fat! debut in a few weeks. Unfortunately, due to my intrinsic nature of having a lot to say, they got a bit more than one word answers.
They said nice things about me too, which is often a rarity…

Like most things in life, DJing is often governed by rules about what you can and can’t play, what is acceptable and what isn’t. Stacey McDonald, aka Jung, is a perfect example of just how good it can sound to not just tear up the rulebook, but grind it down to a fine paste. Ahead of the next Chew The Fat! @ The End, he took some time out to answer a few questions about genres, blogging, and the state of DJing today….

One of Many That Got Away…

So finally here it is, a new mix / podcast episode. I know I look slack because I haven’t done one for 4 months, but that’s not entirely the truth, in fact I’ve done at least 5-6 mixes that were supposed to be for the podcast, but I just wasn’t happy with them, and so no one ever heard them. The good news is that I’ve probably got enough decent tunes and ideas now to do another two or three mixes, so hopefully I’ll bash some out soon.
Any how, here is the mix that I finally am happy with.
It starts off pretty mellow with some nice broken beat because I thought I better illustrate the sort of stuff I play in warm up slots (promoters take note, maybe) and then into some nice tech house stuff, through some electro and then finally on to some lovely wonky house, ending one what is probably the best song I’ve heard all year; Florence & The Machine.
