DJ Echo Interview

Recorded live at DJcity on The MikiDz Show - Monday, November 9, 2009.




Mikiwar: How you feelin?

Echo: I'm feelin great! Just had some Titos Tacos.

Mikiwar: They must be sponsoring the show. They gave us a poster... that we need to post up. Every DJ that comes in here wants Titos.

Echo: I like the Twilight poster b/c now i know what you guys will be doing on November 20th... watching New Moon.

Mikiwar: You can thank Stonerokk for that one...he brought us that gift and he wanted to paint...

Echo: Aaaahhh.

Dainjazone: We're going to take a party bus to go see New Moon. Stonerokk will be driving the bus.

Mikiwar: So we got some questions for you....

Echo: Oh you didn't tell me you were going to ask me questions...

Dainjazone: Haha ok back in the mix, DJ Echo! [Echo begins scratching in the next track]

Mikiwar: What did you have for lunch?

Echo: I had a chicken sandwich but it wasn't as good as dinner. I can't stop talking about Titos Tacos!

Dainjazone: What are you favorite cities to travel to?

Echo: #1 Vegas, #2 Miami, and prolly Vegas #3 [room laughs]

Dainjazone: Wait wait hold on! You mean Las Vegas, New Mexico?

Echo: Just Miami, Vegas, Miami. That's all you need.

Mikiwar: If you weren't DJing, what would you be doing?

Echo: I actually do a lot of stuff besides DJing so, I don't know how to answer that question.

Dainjazone: Oh are you... porn?!?

Echo: No! I haven't made it to that yet. I don't know if I'm going to make it to that....

Mikiwar: But it's on the list? Of things to do? Eh! Eh!

Echo: Umm it's in the bucket list, not the immediate list.

Dainjazone: You guys have any HollaBoyz projects coming out?

Echo: We're still putting stuff up on Crooklyn Clan but we both have two different schedules. It's not like the old days where we'd be in the studio everyday.

Mikiwar: DJ Vice in case anybody is wondering. Haha.

Echo: And we had a lot of help from Big Syphe and Eric Deluxe. I think those guys really blew up.

Mikiwar: The last track you and Vice did was Crunk and Wasted?

Echo: Yes, but all four of us; Buko Breaks 3 and 4. If you guys still have the vinyl, keep that!

Mikiwar: I'm still looking for the acapellas (room laughs)

Dainjazone: Do you know anybody who would have the acapellas?

Echo: Let me see if i have any.

Mikiwar: People are going to be ripping these off Beezo.net.

Dainjazone: i know. there's no music in the background, we have to talk.

Echo: I don't know if i have any...

Mikiwar: Oh I've heard it.

Dainjazone: Save it!

Echo: Yea I don't think I have it.

Mikiwar: We'll do that after the show. I got my flash drive it's coo....

Dainjazone: What do you think about DJ Hero? DJs are natually born haters so alot of them don't like it....

Spryte: It's fun!

Dainjazone: Ok...Spryte says it's fun, but Stonerokk said it's not like the real thing....

Echo: I thought i was on DJ Hero for the last 4 years? Isn't that what this is? [room erupts in laughter]

Mikiwar: Expert? Travel Edition?

Mikiwar and Dainjazone: Well done!

Echo: DJs are saying, "Ah DJ Hero is out and now everybody and their Mom will be DJing." Aren't they already?

Dainjazone: Thats what we need on this show! More guests like that! Just that kind of an opinion!

Echo: It's the truth. I don't sugarcoat it.

Dainjazone: Do you have any mixtapes coming out?

Echo: I actually do. The last one I did came out in February. The "burners" CD...

Mikiwar: ... that i hate. I gotta put this out there. I have a story. DJs Rell, Styles Davis, Xscape and Dainjazone can speak on this. Patrick Molloys in Hermosa Beach. We all start off at 10, but guess who decided to drop of their mix and has to open for us before 10 every time we spin?

Dainjazone: You always burn my tracks...

Mikiwar: And the mix starts off with Be, Show Me Love and all this other hype stuff and all the girls are going crazy....

Echo: It's the DJ Echo Untitled Mix. www.djecho.net if you haven't got it. Or Beezo.net

Mikiwar: It's a great mix, just not at 10 o'clock. You get all the girls on the dance floor and then we drop an R&B set...

Echo: That's how clubs budget. The hottest part is when I gave it to the managers he said "oh we'll give it a listen and if it's ok we'll talk to the promoters and they'll call you" haha. I wasn't looking for anything. I was just like 'here... Merry Christmas'.

Mikiwar: We're looking forward to the new mix. Is it going to be Untitled 2?

Echo: I think so. Im working out negotiations with Titos Tacos to see if they can sponsor it.

Mikiwar: You can always talk to DJcity...

Dainjazone: What about Bud Light?

Echo: Bud Light? They sponsor Spryte.
