Feels like a lifetime ago when I first heard a DJ Format song on DJ Yoda’s ‘How to cut and paste’ CD. Then I discovered the magic of Format’s ‘Music for the mature B-boy’ followed by ‘If you can’t join ‘em…beat ‘em’ and was in awe of the dope mixture of beats which I continue [...]

Freeeeeeeeeeeeeesh

I saw this a while ago, but was sworn to secrecy. The new DJ Format album is almost here and he’s just dropped a sampler video:

This is part 2 of my epicly long fan-interview of DJ Format…Enjoy. Age: You once said to me that ‘If it doesn’t come out on vinyl then it’s not even a real release as far as I am concerned’ – why is vinyl so important? Format: I don’t want to get all preachy about the [...]

I’ll warn you now, this interview is epicly long. DJ Format loves talking about music and once he get’s going, he won’t shut up. The original interview document is 29 A4 pages long and that’s the trimmed down version. The original interview, which I recorded at his house, lasted around 6 hours, including a part [...]

It’s been an interesting few days. I’ve learnt a lot and re-learnt something I already knew – I HATE Facebook. Still, I’m writing this article because it might be useful to someone, somewhere. Creating a Facebook Band Page Let me set up the scene for you. I’ve been helping to promote DJ Format and raise [...]

I’ve been creating a new Facebook page for DJ Format. It’s been an utter nightmare. You’d think with the massive user base that Facebook has they’d make a half-decent product which was easy to use. But oh no… Installing apps has been a nightmare. There is no ‘app store’ like you’d expect to find, nope, [...]

  1 day – DJ Format’s new Youtube channel (which I made) has notched up 252 views. Nice. Ok, so it’s not record-breaking, but it’s still pretty spiffing.  

You’ll seem like an obsessed fan

“You’ll seem like an obsessed fan” Is what my wife said when I went foraging in the loft for a roll of old posters from my ‘youth’ – producing a (partially) signed poster from DJ Format’s first tour. “No I won’t!” I protested, “it’s been in the loft for years.” “Hmmmm.” “Look, it’s not got [...]

Fame is subjective

Fame is thoroughly subjective. I’ve discovered that over the last 2 days while trying to come up with a list of questions to ask DJ Format. Most people I’ve spoken to don’t know who he is. Not much of a surprise as most people I know don’t like, nevermind listen to Hip-Hop. To me DJ [...]

“If you don’t ask, you don’t get” Was the wise words of a friend yesterday. So true. But sometimes you’ll ask a question and be sure you won’t get a positive answer. ‘Can I have a payrise?’ ‘Will you wear this sexy French maid outfit for me?’ ‘Can I borrow 3 grand to invest in [...]
