Hed Kandi DJ Q&A

How long have you been with Hed Kandi?

I've been at Hed Kandi for around 5 and half years now. I joined the label about a year after its launch. I think I can say that I'm the longest running member of the team. 

Were you a DJ before Hed Kandi?

Yes, quite some time before, I've been a DJ for just over 20 years now.  Oh no - now I'm revealing my age!  During my earlier years as a DJ I was know by another alias, DJ Normski, - that was me.  I was a DJ right from the Rave era through into Jungle/Drum ‘n’ Bass days, on to the Garage/House scene - I've seen it all.

What inspired you to become a DJ?

My older brother – he started DJing first with a guy who ran a Jazz Funk soundsystem back in the late ‘70s early ‘80s.  Back then I grew up listening to that Funk/Disco sound all the time.  When the the guy sold the soundsystem and bought a nightclub, my brother gave it all up and by then I was just getting into the whole DJ mix-thing after hearing DMC mix shows on radio.  It was then that my brother put my name in the frame as a young protege.  So I think I've got him to thank and DMC.  

How did you become involved with Hed Kandi?

I go to know Mark Doyle back in 88/89 when he started a weekly club in a venue in Ealing, West London.  He ran the night and was also the sole DJ.  So I said to him one night that I had a budding record collecting (including a load of my brother's old records) and I was now getting into this DJing thing, and would he like a "warn up man".  That was were the relationship began.  We ran a number of small local club nights over those years.  It was a few years later, after Mark had started Kandi, when he needed some extra manpower as the label was now growing and I received the opportunity.

Mark has now moved on to other projects - why didn't you move with him?
 
Let's set the record straight, Mark decided that it was time for him to move on and a number of us had to eventually decide one way or the other.  I wanted to go with him because I've always enjoyed working with him, although I still felt that Hed Kandi has still got more to give and I still wanted to be part of that. Because of Mark it's become such a wonderful brand and I still want to work on it.  We still remain friends and always will.  We'll work together again some day soon.
