Entrevista al DJ venezolano José Miguel aka England:
Acá
comparto una entrevista que he realizado vía Facebook el pasado 20 de julio de
2011 y quise compartir con todos ustedes. No soy periodista aunque sería un
honor, en realidad fué algo espontáneo y un juego.
En resumidas cuentas lo describo como: mi DJ
preferido, que usa perfume exclusivo, se la pasa “Clavado en un bar”, es
principe, le gusta abrazar y sembrar arboles.
Aquí va la entrevista ups! se me olvidó decir…está en
inglés!!!!
aka
Reporter: I see that you have a lot of years in experience
mixing, tell more about your work.
DJ
José Miguel: OK! My first party was the year party of the ending
of my 6th grade in a small school where I used to study. In that moment, a had
a “Pioner AMP (amplifier)” and a “Pioneer Tourntable” and other classmate had
some staff, so I get paid for that party; that was my first one ever DJ. After,
I started to sell cassettes in a park of the city of Maracay, having two point
one in a donwtown venter and the other in a park.
While
the life goes, I started to travel always with my music everywhere, then I get
in a college at Bristol UK. In the program of studies, I learned how to read
music, firts steps into batery, but nothing seriuos was at the free parties at
Bristol City where I used to live , like bad boy style drumm and bass, get into
the getto and I started to pinch againg for money, for example, in the
comunitary center in an Afro descendance community in Bristol I drove the
Malcolm X party. And so on a lot of more free parties. These was betwing 2001
and 2008.

Reporter: aww many of us have been broken sometime in life but
it depends on us, if we do make that bring us down, I guess you never bring
down your mixing right? Do you have any project in mind?
aka
Reporter: help?
DJ
José Miguel: Yeah help the people who are in need, that is my
target every day.
aka
Reporter: OK that’s nice but in your career as a DJ I mean, but
as you mention helping others who are in need do you combine both DJ work and
social activities?
DJ
José Miguel: Yeah! Some people question about the electronic music
while I was in my studies of comunity fitness; we used to help every friday to
the children with discapacity. By that, I analized that the music its one good
tool for work with children in certain discapacities, so my music destiny is
for those that fell free with this sound. I like too work a lot with the
community and feel good about it.
aka
Reporter: hum.. music if is used in a good intention can
liberate so much and make fun, I guess that the party will be real fun on
August? Tell me about that event please.
DJ José Miguel: Well its the
first connection with ‘Acid Resistance’ the colombian label with our group the
‘Old Skull Collective’. The DJ from Caracas Mente Yario, my best friends and
others from different parts of Venezuela. We are carring on this event with our
money; if we lost iis OK coz its the firts ever event of that magnitude and we
are expecting a big start for all the members.
aka
Reporter: And all are friends?
DJ
José Miguel: Yeah, but Yario Mente and I know each other for years
now, the rest of the members are integrated recently.
aka
Reporter: That is so great! I asked that, as many people says
that working with friends is to gain future enemies, what would you tell people
about that?
DJ
José Miguel: I dont think so, we are friends from childhood all
life; we are real friends in the bad and in the goods and we can tell about it.
aka

no idea of being a DJ got to learn, handle or know?
