Why this name?
My name was given to me many years ago . It's short for Wheels of Steel .
Do you play live?
I DJ at a wide variety of venues . I love doing shows . Some special moments I've had were being able to open up DJing for Talib Kweli, Erykah Badu, Dead Prez, and The Pharcyde to name a few (thanks to my man Profile) .
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
The internet has changed the music industry by making everything more accessable and it has taken networking to new heights .
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
It depends who , why , and how they approach me .
Band History:
I started DJing more than a decade ago and beat making naturally came soon after . I had a group called ILLType that I produced & did cuts for in upstate New York . ILLType was part of a collective known as Type:Official that now features artists : Broadway, Nittie Jux & DJ Majic .
Your influences?
Daily life mostly . But as far as artists go I appreciate Pete Rock, GangStarr, Jay Dee, Madlib, Mobb Deep, De La Soul, Frank Zappa . . . . the list could go on & on .
Favorite spot?
Working on music .
Equipment used:
I use a set of Tech 1200's, a Vestax mixer, an MPC 2000, and a ton of vinyl .
