Before we get to the nitty gritty of this week’s podcast we sat down with San Francisco’s DJ MyKill and asked him a few questions about DJing and the mix he gave us.

Can you tell our readers a little about this mix and how it came about?

When putting out a mix CD I try and showcase a certain sound or group of producers that share the same sonic and stylistic qualities. This mix is really rooted in what several UK producers have been releasing under the Fidget House, Dubstep, Electro, UK Bassline banner. Guys like Joshua Harvey (Herve, Machine Don’t Care) Jack Beats, Jesse Rose, Hijack, and Sinden. Also showcasing US artists like Nadastrom and AC Slater that share this sound. This is the main genre I’ve been playing for my more “rave” styled events. I enjoy the energy and the nostalgic hardcore breakbeat palate they use.

Where have you been playing lately? Any notable gigs recently?

I’ve had the opportunity to play at many venues in and around the Bay Area. One of those venues was the world famous Ruby Skye club in San Francisco that is a host to many of the today’s top touring DJs. I’m also currently doing a residency in Anchorage, Alaska every 3 months along with various out of town dates.
