[T.I.T.T.S] Skollie was recommended to me by majestry definitely some tunes worth bumping so make sure you have the proper bass material to proceed with caution.
[IF]when did you first start listening to EDM?
[Skollie] Back in 2005 I had some friends that would go to forest parties up in the mountains. They were insane. we would just drive and walk for ages around these forests untill you get to a huge wall of homemade bass bins. I started out listening to pretty much all drum & bass as a result of those parties.
[IF]What was your first event as a attendee?
[Skollie]Wolfgang Flür of Kraftwerk and Altern8 played this tiny festival years ago. That was my first electronic event. It was pretty off the hook.
[IF]Who was your first favorite artist/group?
[Skollie] I would have to say The Offspring were my first favorite. Once I started on EDM DJ Hype was the shit. I flew to London to see him spin at Fabric a few years back. I nearly didnt get through US immigration once cause he signed my passport with a fat marker that night.
[IF]When did you first start producing?
[Skollie]After listening to Cockney Thug I wanted to make a tune with a sample from an irish film. My first track had this badass sample of a Dublin scumbag called Clank telling these two he's gonna rip their fuckin heads off. That was about two years ago now.
[IF]When did you start DJing?How did you learn?
[Skollie]While I was living in SF in 2009 one of my friend bought technics and serato. I just ended up playing around with that for days on end. My housemate was a pretty sick DJ so he just showed me some stuff and I was away.
[IF]First setup and current set up(including comps, software,drum-pads, etc)
[Skollie]My first, and current, set up is famously cheap and ghetto. Its a missmatch of multiple PCs and P.A. systems. I just got AKAI LPD8 and an LPK25 last week though. I produce on FL, mostly with Massive but I like to dick around with alot of synths.
[IF]When was your first Gig/Performance?
[Skollie]Our crew T.I.T.T.S. threw a day party in Golden Gate Park last summer. I was supposed to open but forgot my laptop ha. I ended up with a sweet spot in the afternoon when everyone there was smashed on Four Loko.
[IF]Who has been a major influence to your productions?
[Skollie]Flux Pavillions style really influenced me as well as Caspa. Oh and Jesus and my mom.
[IF]What are your future goals for performances and productions?
[Skollie]Wrapping up a new one, Grit Yokes, then the EP will follow some time in May. In general just try and become an über cool superstar DJ like Tiesto.
[IF]Do you collaborate with anyone?If so who?
[Skollie]At the moment I have a few projects going with Majestry and one about to start up with Seriph. I like doing that but its hard sending stems over and back across the Atlantic. I will be doing alot more when I'm back in SF.
[IF]What is your Favorite or preferred performing equipment?(;Turntables(maker)/CDJ's/Drum-pads/Keyboards/Controllers)
[Skollie]I like to use Traktor with a DJM 700. If I had the money I'd probably pick up a Pioneer DDJ T1, and then just stare at it all day.
[IF]What is the biggest event you want to perform at?
[Skollie]My own divorce party. Rent a hotel and go off the rails in Amsterdam and/or Vegas.
