INTERVIEW WITH NAT BLACK AND MALOKA:
◾Real Name: 
🔸Nat: Nat Eichler
🔹Justin: Justin Combs

◾How did you come up with your dj name: 
🔸Nat: It honestly found me after a joke between friends. There was an idea to start ‘Spinal Tap’ style spoof 90’s techno group called ‘Bright Black’. I was to be Nat Black and played the Keytar with knobs that ‘Go to 11…….’. ask me after a cocktail. I will tell you more……

🔹Justin: I have been on somewhat of a spiritual journey the past several years and I was researching ayahuasca. In my research I came across this documentary called The Last Shaman. In the documentary this guy visits Peru and the Shaman takes him into a "Maloka" to conduct the spiritual experience with ayahuasca. So, that really resonated with me; a Maloka is a place (or a house or abode) where people go to become enlightened by the Shaman. A place where you surrender yourself, lose yourself, and find yourself; a place where for that moment in time nothing else matters except what is going on in that moment. And I related that experience to dj'ing and having people on the dance floor, where for that period in time, I have their complete trust and openness, to take them on a journey of my own. For me, music is medicinal and spiritual. So, there is commonality between dj'ing and the people on the dancefloor and what I hope they experience, and the people with the Shaman in the Maloka. My, well our Maloka, becomes the dancefloor.
◾How and when did you get into djing: 
🔸Nat: I started djing in 1995 after attending my first couple raves. I met Dj Three at Alternative Record Store in Tampa as a skate punk kid and he would always play records at the counter. I finally bought one and got invited to my first event.  I ended up getting two technics 1200’s and a mixer for my high school graduation and been djing ever since.  Hi my name is Nat and I’m addicted to Vinyl Records

🔹Justin: In St. Louis I started messing with my roommates vinyl. Eventually I was jumping on the decks at afterhour parties once in a while. This was around 2005 maybe...then I got pair of Pioneer cdj 100's and for several years messed with them on and off. It was about 8 or so years ago that I got myself something closer to a club set up in my house and really started the practicing and started Social Study.

◾Who are your musical influences and what is your inspiration: 
🔸Nat: Too many to count, I try to be open to everything I hear and experience, but I do love roots reggae and dub, specifically king tubby.  I really love listening to djs craft sets and understand the experience they are trying to convey.  There are so many talented djs in our region and I’m constantly inspired by the music our community shares.

🔹Justin: It’s hard to pin point who; there are so many amazing artists, dj's, and producers who are pushing their sound and staying unique and true to house and techno. Those are the ones that influence me and motivate me.

◾Describe your sound as a DJ:
🔸Nat: Diverse……. I love to play a set to a mood or an idea.  Most of my sets are opening for guests djs that travel the region and its always a great growing experience to try different styles that properly support their vibe and music while maintaining my personal flavor.  Tough question.  If I had to narrow it down……. Percusivetechminimalorganicdeepmoodyhousebreaktechno

🔹Justin: I still appreciate the ethnic and tribal sounds, but my sets recently have not been dominated by that. Right now, I have been really into this blurred line between techno and house. I believe as you dj, and time goes and you grow and mature, your sound should too. Whether I’m playing some minimal house or more of a driving techno set; my sound seems to have a deep, dark, and somewhat psychedelic vibe to it.
