Z*Trip: Shifting Gears

April 18th, 2005 | Author: Talithia Kelly

Was that the worse part of making the album?
Its probably one of the worse part. I can’t say it’s definitely the worse part but its one of.

Well, what would you say the worst part was?
I think for me it was that the process was a bit stressful. Since it started out as one process for one project and then midway through, like a year into it, it changed and I had to regroup and start over again. That was the hardest thing and the samples were the reason for that. I think the mere fact of having to regroup and start over a year into it was most frustrating.

I can’t began to imagine your frustration. What was the best part that evened out the worst part?
Being able to say I finally have the record done. It’s the finish line, ya know.

Again, congratulations. What would you say was the gateway to your success?
I can’t really say it was one particular thing. It was a string of events. One part me hustling being out on the road and working every gig I could possibly work, another part me remixing something getting that into somebody’s hands, another part me putting out a mix CD. It was a combination of things everyday. It wasn’t like one day I got one big break and that was the thing that got me through.

It’s usually not one big thing. Do you have any advice to offer to up and coming DJ's?
Be as original as possible try not to sound like the next guy. Try to make sure your sound is your own.
