Q - What is your most memorable moment as a DJ?
A - Crobar vip room - the entire room was coming unglued, people singing and cheering and basically going nuts at 5:20am in the morning with the house lights on and the fire Marshall handing out fines to the club since everyone was supposed to be out by 5am. No one would leave. I even broke the last record like Eddie Van Halen smashing his guitar and threw it out into the crowd and they went berserk. Than we all left and continued the madness at club space where I had the residency every sat night after my crobar gig.
