Spin out
Local favorite and internationally acclaimed Clint Maximus gives me a peak into the life of a DJ.
How do you find the DJ life? Is it as glamorous as it seems?
DJ life is good, you get to experience new cultures, meet new people and taste some of the best food ever! Is it glamorous? It can be but having said that it can also be very demanding.
Do you have any rituals you perform in preparation for an event? Has being a DJ imposed any other rituals/ quirks on your lifestyle?
Rituals? Nah. Sorry to disappoint, the only thing I do is just a have a beer in hand before going up! Although it can play nasty with your sleeping habits.
What type of music do you play? Is it also you personal favorite genre?
Right now anything house. I don’t really believe in limiting yourself to one style because styles change all the time, ask another famous DJ/producer around the world they’ll say the same thing. But when I’m out and about in a club I do tend to lean more on progressive house.
Do you use CDs, Vinyl, or MP3s? Why?
Well I buy a lot of MP3s from Beatport (Almost every few days) and whenever I get tracks from the record labels (Anjunadeep, What Happens records etc, etc…) it’s always MP3’s. I do have a massive vinyl collection from back in the day but now the internet is the best way to get music, straight onto CD after that! Plus it’s lighter to carry.
