King Britt Interview

August 7, 2008 Interviews, Media No Comments

I’m not a huge Digable Planets fan, but when I interviewed King Britt for Gearwire.com back in 2006, he was great to talk to. Full of stories, advice for new DJs and a lively personality all round. I’d check him spinning anytime. My favorite part of the discussion is when Britt laments the fact that the joy of searching for those obscure tracks is gone with the advent of instant download gratification. Too true, KB, too true! Seeking and finding are half the fun of vinyl. Downloading, not so much.

King Britt is naturally a source of interest for budding DJs all over the globe, so I thought I drop Part One and Part Two of my chat with KB, and throw in a little YouTube love with the man besides. I didn’t have anything to do with the clip below, it wash shot at the Novara Jazz Fest in Italy earlier in ‘08.

DJ Paisley Babylon Now Booking

I am based in Chicago but willing to travel. Call or send an e-mail to jwallace (at) turntabling (dot) net.

DJ Paisley Babylon sets aren't typical DJ gigs and I'm very selective about the events I do.Please listen to the mixes first before deciding to book me. If my sounds are right for your event, I'm very happy to work with you.
