Where can we hear your stuff?
RIGHT NOW, IN THE CLUBS. I DON’T WANT TO SAY WHAT CLUBS CAUSE THINGS CAN CHANGE FROM NOW TO WHEN READERS READ THIS INTERVIEW….BUT IM IN THE CLUBS IN ORLANDO AT LEAST 3 NIGHTS OUT OF THE WEEK. YOU CAN ALWAYS CHECK MY MYSPACE TO SEE WHERE I WILL BE ON WHAT NIGHT.
How did you get that name?
WHEN I KNEW I WANTED TO TAKE DJ’IN SERIOUS AT 1ST I WAS HAVING A HARD TIME THINKING OF A NAME I WOULD COME UP WITH SHIT LIKE MIXMASTER P, ECT. I KNEW THEY WERE CORNY BUT THAT’S THE BEST I COULD COME UP WITH. ONE DAY I MET THIS DUDE WHO ALSO SAID HE WAS A DJ THAT SAID I SHOULD CALL MYSELF DJ TECHNIC I LIKED IT & STUCK WITH IT, AFTER A A FEW YRS I LEARNED THERE WERE OTHER DJ’S WITH THAT NAME SO INSTEAD OF CHANGING MY NAME I JUST CHANGED THE SPELLING TO DJ TECNEEK CAUSE BY THEN I HAD A LITTLE BUZZ & DIDNT WANT TO LOSE IT BY CHANGING MY NAME ALL TOGETHER.
What has been your biggest accomplishment?
BEING ABLE TO MAKE A LIVING & SUPPORT MYSELF FROM DJ’IN ALONE.
What has been your most difficult challenge?
STAYING FOCUSED & NOT LETTING THE B.S OF THIS BUSINESS GET TO ME. THERE’S BEEN PLENTY OF TIMES WHERE I JUST WANTED TO GIVE IT ALL UP GET A 9-5 & NOT DEAL WITH IT, BUT THE LOVE FOR MUSIC IS WHAT KEEPS ME GOING OR BRINGS ME BACK.
What makes you different?
THE FACT THAT I DONT HAVE AN EGO & I GET ALONG WITH EVERYONE….THERE’S ALOT OF UNDERCOVER HATERS OUT HERE BUT I RESPECT EVERYONE & NEVER LOOK AT MYSELF AS IF IM BETTER THAN THE NEXT MAN….
What projects are you working on?
RIGHT NOW IM JUST STAYING FOCUSED ON THE CLUB NIGHTS I HAVE & GETTING MORE NIGHT’S….IM ALSO LOOKING INTO MORE UPSCALE EVENTS/PARTY’S. SO PROMOTER’S GET AT ME!
Where are you from originally?
I WAS BORN IN BROOKLYN N.Y BUT CONSIDER ME FLORIDIAN CAUSE I BEEN HERE SINCE I WAS 5 YRS. OLD.
How Long have you been making music?
SINCE I WAS 13, BUT ALL MY LIFE I BEEN INTO MUSIC CAUSE MY FATHER WOULD ALWAYS HAVE MUSIC PLAYING AROUND THE HOUSE & MY OLDER COUSINS ARE THE ONES WHO PUT ME ON TO HIP HOP WHEN I WAS REAL YOUNG.
What artists inspire you?
COMING UP I USED TO LISTEN TO MIXTAPE DJ’S LIKE DJ CLUE, DOO WOP, TONY TOUCH, S&S, RATED R, GREEN LANTERN, KAY SLAY, CUTMASTER C, ECT….THOSE DUDES KINDA GAVE ME SOMETHING TO GO OFF OF THAT REALLY INSPIRED MY STYLE OF HOW I DO MY MIXTAPES. AS YOU CAN SEE I WAS ALWAYS IN TO THE N.Y DJ’S CAUSE IN MY MIND THAT’S REALLY ALL THERE WAS BACK THEN WHEN IT CAME TO MIXTAPES. BUT NOW THE GAME HAS CHANGED & 1 DUDE I GOT ALLOT OF RESPECT FOR IS DJ PROSTYLE CAUSE TO SEE HOW FAR HE HAS COME ESPECIALLY BEING A DJ FROM ORLANDO IS INCREDIBLE. IT SHOWS YOU THAT NO MATTER WHERE YOUR AT OR FROM IT’S UP TO YOU WHERE YOU TAKE IT.
How would you define your style of music?
I TRY TO KEEP MY MIXTAPES WITH A N.Y VIBE CAUSE THATS WHERE MY HEART IS WHEN IT COMES TO MUSIC, BUT IN THE CLIUBS THERE’S REALLY NO TELLING WHAT YOU MIGHT HERE ME PLAY…I MORE OR LESS PLAY FOR THE PEOPLE & FEED OFF OF THEIR ENERGY.
What teams are you affiliated with?
ORLANDO MIXTAPE KINGZ & EXTORTION ENT.
Who are some artists that you have worked with?
I
HAVE WORKED WITH ALLOT OF DJ’S IN ORLANDO & AM THANKFUL FOR BEING ABLE TO WORK WITH ALL THE PEOPLE I HAVE CAUSE IM ALWAYS ONE TO OBSERVE SOMEOE TO SEE HOW THEY DO THINGS & SEE WHAT I CAN DO DIFFERENT TO STEP MY GAME UP.
Who would you like to collab with?
I WOULD LIKE TO DO A MIXTAPE WITH GREEN LANTERN. I LEARNED ALLOT FROM LISTENING TO HIS MIXTAPES & FEEL THE WAY HE PUT’S HIS MAXTAPES TOGETHER IS HOW MIXTAPES ARE SUPPOSED TO SOUND WITH INTRO’S, CRAZY REMIXES, & EXCLUSIVE’S.
Where do you see the future of music?
HIP HOP MUSIC IS ALWAYS GONNA EVOLVE & CHANGE BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY AS LONG AS WE HAVE ARTIST, DJ’S, PRODUCERS, ECT. THAT STAY TRUE TO WHAT THEY DO & DO IT FOR THE LOVE HIP HOP WILL WILL NEVER DIE OUT….
Where do you see yourself in 1 year?
IM NOT TO SURE, I KNOW WHAT I WANT AND WHERE I WANNA BE BUT ALLOT OF THINGS CAN CHANGE IN A YR. BUT AS LONG AS IM ALIVE & BREATHING IM GOOD.
Describe yourself in one word.
