I like the live interaction with an audience when Djing or performing and production-wise I love assembling all the different parts of the tunes with James (Hockley) and Paul (Dakeyne). Working alongside those two is so creative.

I’m a vinyl Junkie at heart. I love the physical aspect of mixing gently coaxing the disks into matching each others beats.

If you could change one thing about the music industry what would it be

I just wish Radio stations in the UK weren’t so closed to new talent. Even the BBC accepts massive back-handers from people to get their tracks played and that is a publicly owned company. A lot of smaller acts can’t afford to pay that kind of money just to get heard.

If you could change one thing about the world you live in what would that be

I wish people weren’t so selfish and considered others more and the environment in which we live.

Haling From Storbritannien Comes the House Husbands !

Contact the House Husbands Via Myspace CLICK HERE

Who Influenced You ?

Considering that there are the two of us (and sometimes we have heated debates about certain mixes) our influences are still very similar and have come from legendary clubs such as “Trade, FF, Renaissance” and many others in between. Back in the early 90s djs such as Malcolm Duffy, Steve Thomas, TDV, Sharp Boys, John Digweed and Sasha to name a few where our main influences and we were fortunate enough to see the scene and the music grow from its humble beginning of vinyl…….!, (mind you we should not be admitting to this it makes us sound soooooo old……LOL), to were it is now with all is subsidiaries and categories of house, but we love most genres of house. As long as it fits or sound and makes us and the dance floor move.

What do you like most about djing or producing ?

Simply put, We Love Music and the people around it.
The blending of different sounds to create a journey for the listener, the way beats faze and create steps of music and each step taking you to reach a climax of sounds and beats.
The gathering of new sounds that you know would fit in your set and hope your listeners will enjoy, while always trying to provide a current sound as well as a forward thinking sound so the dance floor always stays fresh, educated, and always moving forward. And most of all it’s the shared experience you have with the crowd and the whole feeling of being together.
Very much like a tribal thing, a gathering, a happening for want of a better word.

Your Thoughts on Electronic Music or music in general?

We have a very hippy attitude to the music scene.
In our opinion all Music & Dancing are nourishments for the soul and should be prescribed as part of the national health service.
Offices, schools and industries all over the world should stop for an hour a day and have a dance. We are positive this would relive any work related stress and help increase productivity and create happier employees.
Although we are not to sure how this would apply to truck drivers, having to stop on motorways and have a dance for an hour, but could be a very funny sight for any passers by.
Oh if only we were presidents…….. (LOL)
Vote for us now!
Together we could change the world.
If actors can become presidents than why shouldn’t djs and producers…….!

The last song you just listened to ?

Spring Child by HouseHusbands (cheap self promotion on our part! LOL)

Top 5 Favourite CUTS OF ALL TIME “any genera”

Its not going to be easy to answer this question, I can see a fight ensuing in the HouseHusbands household, each of us fighting for the tracks we feel belong on this list, so many great tracks over the years, and so many have been remixed over the years but rarely making them better than the originals, and surely 5 is not enough, Oh well here goes…….
Passion by Gat Décor,
Age of Love by Jam & Spoon,
Save the Day by Discuss,
Rise by Samantha James Fiasco Chunk a funk mix
My love is deep by Sara Parker

what gear do u produce with ?

Stanton cd decks, Stanton mixer, Techins vinyl decks for the djing side of things and for the production side we use. Ableton Live, Wave Lab, on a pc that has seen better days but still looks good, however sometimes has to be cranked up by hand like an old church organ! (LOL), mind you the same can be said about us at times, especially after a heavy weekend! (LOL)

What gear did you start on ?

We started djing with 2 mismatched decks one belt driven the other direct drive and a lot of praying to get the beats to match and hold for longer than a minute, which rarely happened as we where so raw and young back then the excitement of playing the two records together sometimes would tend to end up with our hands shaking and missing our cue point altogether, ahh happy days, but thankfully we improved rather quickly.
We used Logic and Cubase for the production side of things and we are glad to say it gave us very solid foundations to keep going and strive to get the perfect mix.

If you could change one thing about the music industry what would it be ?

The music scene has always been on a rollercoaster and always will be constantly evolving and surprising us all, we feel very little needs to be changed as music will find its own way as it always has. However some new breed of promoters who seem to have lost touch with the reality of what clubbing means need to be shipped to some woods, covered in honey and left to hungry bears to deal with, and that’s all we are saying……..!

If you could change one thing about the world you live in what would that be ?

This sounds like one of those questions for beauty pageants, the film “miss congeniality” springs to mind.
Unemployment, famine and diseases are some examples that we are sure we all would want to change or eradicate, however on a selfish note better weather in the England would be nice.

How do u see the music scene in the future ?

Surprising us all……. Watch this space.

The Queen of House Music Rochelle Fleming !

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
USA

Rochelle Fleming… “It’s Not Over”

It is rare that popular music offers us a voice that resonates with depth and sensuality. It’s even rarer when a voice strikes the heart and soul with music that is not only ahead of its time but stands the test of time. As lead singer of the highly successful R&B trio, First Choice, Rochelle Fleming did just that. With hits like, “Armed & Extremely Dangerous”, “Newsy Neighbors”, “The Player” & “Smarty Pants”, Rochelle became an architect of what would be known as the Philly Soul Sound. As pioneers of the dance music movement of the 70’s, First Choice, lead by Rochelle Fleming, were fixtures on the club circuit. It was the soaring, passionate vocals of Rochelle Fleming & her ability to attack each note with reckless abandon that propelled songs “Dr. Love”, “Love Thang”, “Double Cross” & “Let No Man Put Asunder” (It’s Not Over) into dance club anthems. As the 80’s & 90’s ushered in, Rochelle continued to make her mark on the music scene by lending her powerhouse vocals to numerous Club, Dance, R&B, Pop and Hip Hop songs making her one of the most sampled artist in music history. READ THE CHICAGO HOUSE DJ INTERVIEW WITH ROCHELLE FLEMING !

Who influenced you?
Rochelle: Hmm, very easy! My Mom pushed me to sing. All of my siblings could sing but she singled me out. By the time I was 12 or 13 Aretha Franklin was my biggest influence. She had a strong and powerful voice. Her phrasing was amazing. As I got older it was Gladys Knight, Stevie Wonder.

What do you like most about being in the music business?
Rochelle: Wow, I love the traveling. Seeing and being in the different countries and how they accepted and know my music. Guam, South Korea, Japan were just some of the countries. Meeting fans all over the world is another highlight, just overall exposure to different cultures.

Your thoughts on recording with new digital software vs. the old days of having to go into a studio.
Rochelle: I miss the the live instrumentation of the music. Live sounds and there was a lot more creativity in general. With today’s technology, you can stop, and resing a bad note and then continue. Back in the day, we had the sing the first note all the way through the track with accuracy. All of the ad-libs I did with First Choice were all my own creation were from the heart and not rehearsed.

The last song you just listened to?
Rochelle: The entire Gerald Albright CD…(laughs)

Top 5 favorite cuts of ALL TIME?
Rochelle: Goodness, wow, SO MANY. I would narrow it down to Say A Little Prayer- Aretha Franklin, Neither One of Us- Gladys Knight & The Pips, Overjoyed- Stevie Wonder, Superstar- Luther Vandross, Run to You- Whitney Houston

Where have you performed?
Rochelle: *Laughing* Where haven’t I?? *Laughing* Italy, France, New York but if you are want to know venues and clubs, Studio 54, The Roxy, The Shelter, Palladium all the really popular and legendary spots.

Your most memorable night performing?
THE PARADISE GARAGE WITH LARRY LEVAN! Absolutely…*laughing” The crowd would be wrapped around the block twice whenever First Choice performed. It was very overwhelming at times. The first night I performed as a solo artist at the Beacon Theatre was another memorable night. Wow, you are really making me think, Michael!!

If you could change one thing about the music industry what would it be?
Rochelle: Hmm, I would say that people would recognize and respect music from other eras.

If you could change one thing about the world you live in, what would it be?
Rochelle: No more hunger, child abuse in all forms, neglect, abandonment and homelessness. I don’t live seeing any human suffer.

The Chicago House Dj INTERVIEW !

Who Influenced You ?
Muzikally….WOW!!! Everything!!! Let’s see without giving up my age how can I do this…Hmmmm. Well I started DJing in 1977 so of course Disco was a big part of my life…& as the years went on funk,rap,punk,new wave then of course Chicago House Music which I got in2 in 1985 when my cousin hit me up with a WBMX radio mix tape from Chicago of Farley “Funkin” Keith now Farley “Jackmaster” Funk. I was blown away to the sounds I was hearing from Italian disco to Detroit Techno by Model 500 to of course tha raw beatz coming out of Chi-town. Though I believe it was the Italian Disco Farley was playing that caught my ear 1st. At that time I was heavily in2 Depeche Mode, New Order, Ministry, Front 242, Frankie Goes to Hollywood, Until December and alot of Gay Hi-NRG Disco with groups like Fun Fun, Giorgio moroder, etc…Oh, and of course the Village People…I’m not talkin YMCA….I’m talkin their more underground lp cuts like “fire Island”, “San Francisco”, “Hot Cop”, etc…
As far as DJing wise….my influence start with my cousin Fernando in Cleveland, Kochis Collier another great Cleveland jock…then of Course Farley “Jackmaster” Funk who is the Godfather of House in my book;) and the names continue such as
the whole Original Hot Mix 5 & Super Mix 6 teams on WBMX, Ron Hardy, Frankie Knuckles, Lil Louis, DJ Pierre, Larry Levan & of course my all time favorite Junior Vasquez.

What do you like most about djing and or producing ?
As a producer…just the whole idea of creating something muzikally & tieing that in with DJing playing what I just created & playing it for my crowd. Just seeing the reaction on the dancefloor is an Ultimate High”) Thank GOD all the responses have been good;)

Your Thoughts on vinyl vs mixing software ?
Well, I mix 90% vinyl still.. The cd’s I play r the promo’s I get. As far as software…I just can’t see myself playing with a laptop/program. I think the whole art of DJing is being lost with that. & that’s starts with the crate of records you bring with you 2 a gig…& I’m not talkin about not Serato & computer. It’z like a graphity artist with no cans of paint to do thee art. I think cd’s is the farthest I go???

The last song you just listened to ?
“Wrong” by Depeche Mode

Top 5 Favorite CUTS OF ALL TIME “any genera”
Wow!!! This is impossible…but I will name 5 at the top of my head.
1. Imagination “Just an Illusion”
2. Prince ‘I wanna be your Lover”
3. Frankie Goes to Hollywood “Two Tribes”
4. Farley “Jackmaster” Funk “Farley Knows House”
5. Depeche Mode “Halo”

Where have you spun ?
London, Scotland, Amsterdam, Chicago, Detroit, Boston, New Hampshire, Orlando, Miami, Tampa, Gainesville,Cleveland, etc….

Best party ?
Wow!!! another tuff one….Hmmm, I believe @ one specific night @ one of my Infamous Paradise Box parties in Orlando, florida. It seemed like as if everything I spun worked. That night I went from Deep Disco to Acid House to Detroit Techno to Wildpitch, etc… and the dancefloor kept getting more and more packed. That was an amazing night! Most def as the dancers that came up to me and said…this was one magical night….U just had to have bn there. Funny thing I tried to record it and for some strange reason…the right channel never came in when it was recorded. Example..when I’d go from my left turntable to the right it would mix in2 nothing (in the recording) very weird??? But as they said b4..You had to have bn there to expierience it.

Worst party ?
I won’t name the Club…& It was promoted very poorly or at all and there was like a thousand DJ’s in the lineup. Coming from a school where only 1 DJ would play the entire night…that was overwhelming”0

what gear do u prefer to mix on ? 2
technics SL-1200MK2 turntables (if necessary 1 Pioneer CDj 1000) and my secret mixer that I’ve had for over 25 yrs”)…if you saw it you would b like what and why??LOL It jus has thee M-TRAXXX sound;)

What gear did you start on ?
1 belt drive turntable with a tape deck & 8-trk and I used the Aux switch to go from turnatable table to tape deck, etc…

If you could change one thing about the music industry what would it be ?
Hmmm…these r some good questions…I would have these promoters book the DJ’s with a knowledge & passion for the muzik…NOT cause itz an In thing…as we all know every1 and their mother & stripper sisters r Djing. I alwayz say, Itz Not an In thang, It’z a House;) I feel like alot of people wanting to get famous quick jump on the DJ bandwagon…and half of these peeps have NO Clue/knowledge on dance music. Their main goal is to just b seen playing records or well…in this case…a laptop witha program that mixes the tracks for you. Nice right”)

If you could change one thing about the world you live in what would that be ?
Homelessness & people starving with no place to go. One of my goals is to get more involve to volenteer my time to help and give…
Other than that…You can read my LOOOOOOOOOONG Bio and listen to my muzik procutions & event schedule & Radio show listings on

The Chicago House Dj INTERVIEW !

Who Influenced You ?
I think it was the time around 2000-2001 and labels like Gigolo Rec. I am child of the 80..s sound. =)

What do you like most about djing and or producing ?
I think the combination is perfect me. Its amazing to test new tracks in a club to the reactions.

Your Thoughts on vinyl vs mixing software.
Mhhh very difficult question. I am big fan of vinyl and its a shame that no one wants to buy vinyl right now. The internet is the reason. I think its great to get your tracks fast and cheap from mp3 portals but thats the reason why the vinyl is dead. for the music listener and dj..s its a great idea but for producers like me its not so good. cause no one wants to pay for good music or vinyls and its harder for professionel producer like me to entrench in this gread pound of daily releases. i am more a liveact as a dj.. so i use ableton. for me its the best solution. i have all time in a mix to unfold my creative ideas!

The last song you just listened to ?
Kings of Leon - Use Somebody

Top 5 Favorite CUTS OF ALL TIME “any genere”
uff hard bro!!!
i think (no special order)
Sigur Ros - Nothing Song
Kate Nash - Nicest thing
Coldplay - Lost
Nancy Wilson - Elevator Beat
Vitalic - Poney Part 1

Where have you spun ?
hole world…
Europe, Asia, America and soon Australia!

Best party ?
ufff to many!!!!!
america where alot of good.. and tokyo was crazy too =D
and i really like countries like Ukraine or Russia…

Worst party ?
i played one time in “Dresden” with Gregor Tresher for 10 people in a hall for 1000

what gear do u prefer to mix on ?
UC33,  Mac Book Pro, Kaos Pad 3… but i want to buy the new Korkg Zero 8…fucking amazing!

What gear did you start on ?
on my old technics =)

If you could change one thing about the music industry what would it be ?
ufff difficult question too cause its a complex system. i think we have to except the digital market cause its a future.
i have to say… i dont know what i have to change to find a better solution for all!

If you could change one thing about the world you live in what would that be?
to destroy all the hate, wars and greed for power.. and give the humans more empathy for respekt and love their fellow men!
PEACE

THE Chicago House Dj INTERVIEW

Who Influenced You ?
The passion for my work…Jazz, Funky, Reggae, Rock, acustic and electronic sounds.

What do you like most about djing and or producing ?
Both give me the opportunity to travel and have fun with music.

Your Thoughts on vinyl vs mixing software.
I started with vinyls, now due the big ammount of promos I receive
I mix with CD players…I didnt tryed yet with Serato, Ableton, Traktor etc…
But lots of dj’s now are using mixing softwares as many dj are still playing vinyls.
Music softwares allow anyone to mix music with their automatic functions.
And today even on iPhone and Samsung mobiles supports a digital interface
for mix music by the touch screen.
Honestly, I don’t care about it…the playlist is important…and mainly:
Do you wanna be a dj? Ok, so you MUST BUY MUSIC and STOP COPY!!!

The last song you just listened to ?
1 hour before during a meeting on one of my management office here in Paris,
the agency owner was listening some free electro jazz…to be honest I don’t
remember the artist name…but it was interesting a the right music for talking
about busines and future plans.

Top 5 Favorite CUTS OF ALL TIME “any genere”
only 5? mmmh…not easy…but, ok I try

James Brown - Could Sweat
Beatles - Tomorrow Never Knows
Led Zeppelin - Moby Dick - Hard Rock
Genesis - Cinema Show - Watcher Of The Skies - Progressive Rock
Miles Davis - So What

Where have you spun ?
I turned the world as dj on France, Russia, Canada, Croatia,
Portugal, South Africa, Singapore, Hong Kong, China, Hungary,
USA (WMC 2008) and of course in my native Italy.

Best party ?
August 2007 @ Volar (Hong Kong), and Sonar 2007 (Barcelona, Spain)

Worst party ?
See worst things is up to us…sometimes I enjoyed play music for 10 people
and almost of time I enjoy to play music for myself.
Party is a way to feel good inside naturally, Even in life there, are good and bad times.
Sometimes I feel bad inside…it’s the natural human feeling, like the gray or the blue sky,
like the night!

what gear do u prefer to mix on?
Very basic 2xPioneer CD players & mixer with 3 bands eq.

What gear did you start on
2x Technics 1200 Mk2 (black) - with a little 2 ch. Gemini Mixer without eq control.

If you could change one thing about the music industry what would it be
Sure, give more space to real artist and less to fake marketing artists!

If you could change one thing about the world you live in what would that be
Good question…today people need costantly to show how they are cool, nice, super, how much
they have, who they are…etc…almost like a peacock lol
So, I would love to use a syringe for take out from the heads this diffused disease!
We are apes!!! Go back to the zoo!!! huhuhuhuh!!! Don’t forget it!!! ahahah lol

Zacky Storm is hailing out of
O.C.N.W, Wales United Kingdom

Ive been playing since I was 12 years of age.

Went to my first show at the age of 11 which was System Of A Down
supported by The Dillinger Escape Plan.

I write solo music but im also in a full time rock band called Freaky
Peach www.myspace.com/officialfp.

Who Influenced You ?

My Dad, he was in a rock band while I was growing up, I used to go watch
him from the age of about 4 and I just loved everything about it, the loud
instruments and him doing amazing 80’s screams, I knew from a very young
age that I wanted to be on that stage. Musically Im heavily influenced by
Marilyn Manson, David Bowie, From First To Last, Skid Row and thousands
others.

What do you like most about playing music ?

Its just the feeling it gives me, I have never found anything that gives
me the buzz of playing music and being on stage. Some people go out and
punch a bag to get their anger out but I can express all of my feelings
through my music.

There is nothing I would rather be doing than singing my heart out.

The last song you just listened to ?

It was ‘Traitors Never Play Hangman’ by Bring Me The Horizon, amazing
song, raw and brutal.

Top 5 Favorite songs OF ALL TIME?

1. The Threat - Skid Row

2. Placebo - Every Me, Every You

3. AFI - This Time Imperfect

4. Little Horn - Marilyn Manson

5. UnderOath - Down Set Go

Where have you played ?

All over the UK, too many places to write.

If you could change one thing about the music industry what would it be?

I would change the way most A&R scouts or Labels over look most artists
and only go for whats “In” at the time, I find bands in the charts end up
sounding the same because they sign so many same Genre bands and dont give
the different bands enough exposure. There are definetly artists out there
that could change the face of music but these people just dont get it.

If you could change one thing about the world you live in what would that be?

Sounds cheesy but Peace… I hate war.

Little Carlos Biography:

After being inspired by listening to Disco mix shows in New York City, at the young age of 13, Carlos knew that music would be forever a part of his life. His parents nurtured his passion and bought him his first DJ equipment and he set off to make his dream a reality.

Born and raised in Brooklyn, New York, Carlos was exposed to a wide variety of musical genre. He was able to sample styles from Classic Disco, the 80’s to today’s Hip Hop, but nothing called to him like the sound of House Music. In 1988, after meeting House Legend, Todd Terry, Carlos knew that producing music was what he wanted to do. He launched a music campaign and began to cultivate his career becoming best recognized as “Little Carlos”.

In 1990, Little teamed up with close friend Howie How to collaborate on their first record “Jammin Breaks on City Limits”. The record launched their career into a full time endeavor. Little’s big break came when they received an instant hit with Industrial Bass by Project 86 on Nu Groove Records. Project 86 soon gained fame when it was licensed to R&S records in Belgium, and then featured in the almighty television show Kids in the Hall. Nu Groove soon became the home for How & Little. While signed to them the duo was able to record various tracks. They were also solicited by other popular labels. With this experience, How and Little went on to establish their own label called Onslaught Records.

After the doors at Nu Groove closed, Little began to work with other producers on various labels including Hot Productions, 4th Floor Records & Rampage Music.

Today, Little is collaborating with producer Peter Presta. Presta has allowed this team to create many dance floor hits around the globe with tracks on Egoiste, Bush, Honchos, Richard Grey’s G-High label & Presta’s AppleJaxx imprint in the UK.

When Little is not Producing or Remixing, he still receives DJ bookings. He best describes his style as Funky Sexy House Music. “Playing for crowds that appreciate and support the underground is the ultimate high for me” says Little.

Although Little Carlos has managed to establish a name for himself in the industry and is recognized for his unique style and compilations of music, Little has always wanted to take his music to a grander level. His ultimate dream is to be one of the best DJ’s recognized on a global scale. When asked how he would measure his success, Little stated, “It doesn’t matter how big a crowd I play to, I just want to be able to DJ in a reputable club where I can move people with the power of my music and make them forget everything waiting for them outside the door. Making sure everyone has a great time in my room is how I measure my success.”

THE CHICAGO HOUSE DJ INTERVIEW

Who Influenced You ?
Alternative Rock music, Sasha, Pj Davy, Max Graham, Deep Dish, Pink Floyd, Pearl Jam, Toto, U2, Metallica..

What do you like most about djing / producing ?
Technology, i like to use as most features as possible in a live dj set, and producing at all, is one of my primordial activities, i spend most of my time creating stuff.

Your Thoughts on vinyl vs mixing software.
vinyl is for me like a must if you were djing for a while, but, new technology drives you to a lot of posibilities, so vinyl is so limited by now, i think that vinyl is out by now, in this times you got to innovate, so vinyl cant do it, but is an important part in a dj..s life.

The last song you just listened to ?
Chris Cornell - Scream
