DJ Booth: Utah Jazz

When did you know DJing was the gig for you? When I was 14 and watching my older brothers mix jungle records in our London bedroom in 1994. I was mesmerised by the way different tracks blended into one.

What’s your most memorable musical moment? DJing at Fabric aged 19 with Konflict Messiah as intro and MC GQ asking crowd to hold up their lighters.

What release should everyone have in their collection? Pulp Fiction by Alex Reece on Metalheadz. A genre-defining record for drum ‘n’ bass from 1995 that’s absolutely timeless. I don’t think I’ll get that feeling from a record ever again.

Who’s the act everyone will be talking about in 12 months? Lynx. Not remotely new to D&B but he’s Hospital’s latest exclusive signing which’ll hopefully give him the widespread recognition he thoroughly deserves. A amazingly unique producer.

What can punters expect to hear when you’re in control of the dancefloor? Funk, soul, energy, emotion all wrapped up into a drum ‘n’ bass journey. Anything goes from the last 20 years of this scene and I’ll be enjoying the tunes just as much as you!

When and where are your next gigs? 26 Dec, Breakfest, Belvoir Amphitheatre.
