Last month Dave Herrera over at Westword<\/a> (Denver’s main alt-weekly) hit me up for a new feature they’re doing called “Hey DJ!” that profiles Denver DJs…I talked about pissing off Bone Thugs-In-Harmony in Boulder, discovering Honey Suckle Breeze, why I love London, Ontario, the upcoming Solution Tape #1 w\/Sounds Supreme (now set to drop in January with a nice little collection of exclusives, premiers and live recordings from the Solution) and all sorts of other randomness…Below is a taste of the interview and a link to the rest…Shouts to Westword for showing some love to us DJs…<\/p>\n

So what’s your story, in 100 words or less?<\/strong> It all started with dubbing DJ mixes off the radio in ATL when I’d visit my pops as a teenager. Got some turntables to cop random hip-hop 12-inches when I was fifteen, then decided I wanted to spin parties after hanging out with DJ Petey and DJ Chonz (Radio Bums!!!). That turned into clubs, mixtapes and college radio.\u00c2\u00a0 Now I throw three weekly parties, DJ for a rap group called Tanya Morgan all around the country, record mixtapes with some of my favorite new artists and work on all sorts of other random music ish.<\/p>\n

Name of a track you can’t get out of your head:<\/strong> Donwill as Don Cusack & Harlem’s Cash “Love Junkee” (produced by Aeon). Donwill from Tanya Morgan is releasing an album next year called Don Cusack in High Fidelity<\/em>, where he raps as the main character in the movie High Fidelity<\/em>. This track from it parallels the part of the movie\/album where he takes home Marie De Salle for a one night stand. Don & Harlem’s Cash go in hard on what might be the catchiest song on the album. Not to mention the production by Aeon, one of my favorite new producers, is INSANE. I’ve been running around singing part of the hook for months.*<\/p>\n

*Check it on DJ Low Key & Sounds Supreme – The Solution Tape #1<\/span> (dropping next month)<\/p>\n
