Dj Max Power
My name is DJ Max Power, I am a producer and DJ. I make hip hop beats and remixes, as well as scratch just a little bit and mix at parties.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
I had a radio show on KPSU in Portland for three years, during which I became interested in turntabling. I moved on to making my own remixes when the software became available to me. My remixes are downloaded daily from Limewire, and they have been available on Audio Galaxy as well as Napster, when they were up and running. Up until I graduated, I was the Production Director at KWVA, the University of Oregon's student radio station. I then had a hiphop show there for a few months before I moved to Portland.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
I play parties and have played clubs. I also have been on college radio extensively.
