COStandUp.com interview w/DJ Low Key…

A new Colorado hip hop blog called COStandUp.com recently hit me up to be their debut interview, they’ve been promoting the site heavily over the last few months and from the looks of things, it’s off the good start.  Here’s a taste of the interview, check out the rest at COStandUp.com:

First things first, I’d like to introduce myself as a new author for COStandUp.com. I’m known by many as Miss Rachel, and I used to co-host for Basementalism / Radio 1190. I also acted as the promotions and events coordinator for the show as well, which has lead me to many great friendships and working relationships with many members of the Colorado hip hop community and beyond. My main focus is to continue to support the scene, as well as break you all off with artists, djs, and other performers you may or may not know about.

DJ Low Key was gracious enough to let me flex my interviewing skills as my first writing piece for COStandUp.com. If you don’t know who DJ Low Key is around these parts, there’s a pretty good chance you have been living under a rock. With past residencies at Club Vinyl, Bar Luxe, and many other watering holes and dance floors around the front range as well as a member of the Radio Bums, DJ Low Key is definitely one of the up and coming djs within the Colorado music scene. In 2008, Westword voted him ‘Hip Hop DJ of the Year.”

Miss Rachel: Who do you get mistaken for more often: DJ Bedz or DJ Vajra?

DJ Low Key: (laughs)…I heard all white boys all look the same.

Miss Rachel: What sets you apart from other DJs in Colorado?

DJ Low Key: I try to only throw/DJ parties that I’d wanna go to. There’s a lot of great DJs in Colorado (and beyond) doing great things, but a lot of the time they’re not doing what they really want to be doing. What I’ve tried to do over the last few years is just support the kind of music/events/etc that I’m into, not necessarily the kind of stuff I think any average person on the street might like. It’s paid off; there’s definitely a lot of people out there on the same page as I am, it just takes a little more effort to link up with them. Over time, I think I’ve started to carve out a decent niche for myself doing something a little different.
