It’s all about the surprises.
 
I get behind the console and go where the flashing lights and music take me. I play in the moment, judging my next move by the pulse of the crowd. It is challenging yet exciting to communicate with people through music; to have the power to control moods and movement.
 
I try to keep it fresh, real and true at all times. I need to enjoy listening to what I’m playing. Repeatedly surprising myself with an unpredictable mix or effect, pushes me to take it further. Because the vibe of a crowd can’t be foretold, I always have to play with an open mind. I love long sets and opt to open my sets as it prepares the mood for the entire night. 

I don’t follow genres, and I wouldn’t slot myself under one either. As a DJ I’m constantly evolving, being inspired and contributing my own style to the industry. Assorted influences stir me, and it shows on the mixing table. I make music I am proud of. 

Electronic blended with deep house, minimal, tech-house, progressive house and techno is rapidly becoming my signature. As electronic music is still at a very niche stage, I often have to accommodate the taste of mass club-goers by dishing out commercial dance numbers. Experimenting often drives my music into unplanned territory and gives the crowd tunes they didn’t even know they wanted. 

From being a wide-eyed 18 yr old mixing at ‘My bar’ in 2002, I’ve come a long way. I now take my music to elite clubs all over India including Mumbai, Pune, Hyderabad and Bangalore. I’ve had the opportunity to showcase my work at the Sunburn Festival, Goa and Volvo Ocean Fest, Cochin. In being named the first runner up in the Beatport Cocoon Remix competition, with over 300 contenders, I know that my efforts as an artiste are being recognized on a global plane.  ‘The most stylish DJ’ award at the Globus Style Awards 2010 was a very welcome compliment!

My residency stint at ‘Bike & Barrel’ and, of course, ‘Speed’ played a colossal role in propelling my career and popularity forward.  With time and technology I grew to create a sound that was distinctly mine. Although not a lot of my music has been captured on video, the quality is apparent from the dedicated fan following I have amassed over the years. I mix, create and recreate music for those who want it and support it. Stand alone DJ sets to original compositions and producing – I do it all.

By developing on my individual style, and being faithful to my musical character I hope to leave an everlasting mark on the music movement.

Redd Kross have always been too good, too perfect, too true, to believe. Mythic. Could this tuneful hardcore punk EP really be the work of a brother band with the 15-year-old on vocals and guitar and the 11-year-old on bass? Did Redd Kross really open for Black Flag? Could Jeff and Steve really have been born and raised in the Beach Boys’ hometown of Hawthorne, California, and did Jeff really see the Beatles live in 1966? Did one of them, dressed in Gene Simmons makeup, really kill a Bruce Springsteen impersonator onstage? Is that really their hair? Could Researching the Blues, their first studio album in 15 years, be not just the hottest thing since Cher went solo but the best start-to-finish Redd Kross record ever?

Somehow, the answer to all the above is improbably, wonderfully, beautifully YES. Long have Redd Kross rocked, and long have critics, devoted fans, Rodney Bingenheimer and fellow musicians from Seattle (Nirvana) to New York (Sonic Youth) to Driftwood, Texas (Butthole Surfers) to Hollywood (everybody) bowed before the Kross and their self-aware pre-spandex Glam bubblegum garage psychedelic Cheap Trick/Kiss/Revolver post-Kim Fowley rock and roll. Degenerate, sweet: tongues in cheek, song-long winks.

Commercial success may never have been theirs (if time and space had been aligned correctly, they’d have been blitzing ballrooms in the early ’70s instead of opening for Stone Temple Pilots in the early ’90s), but Redd Kross have endured and endeared because they’ve always had the best possible attitude: smarts, smiles, and total commitment to live hair-spinning showmanship.

Like fellow legendary Great American John Waters, they’ve devoted their career to making subversive entertainment in a high pop celebrity style, reintroducing in their especially golden late ’80s/early-’90s period such forbidden classic-rock tropes as melodies, harmonies, ripping musicianship, and primary colors-stuff that had (largely) been ditched in the underground rock’s post-punk, No Wave, hardcore, and sensitive-egghead scenes. Redd Kross then spent the ’90s making one great misunderstood record after another until enough shit had caked the fan that in 1997 they pretty much called it quits.

But you never quit being brothers. And so here’s the next Redd Kross album-produced and mixed by younger brother Steve earlier this year after it was mostly written by older brother Jeff in 2007-08, and recorded in that same period with the band’s current lineup, who’ve re-engaged in live performance since being lured back into action by an excitable Spanish promoter.

They’re too nice to say so themselves, but attention must be paid to this band, to this great album, Researching the Blues, which, like a pair of great pants, is tight and the perfect length. By the time you’re two minutes and 51 seconds into the second song, “Stay Away From Downtown,” and the band is breaking into the sha-la-las, you will be running around the room with your hands in the air. As the fourth song, the Brian Wilsonian “Dracula’s Daughters,” ends and the dynamic mid-’60s Beatles jingle “Meet Frankenstein” launches into its first chorus, you will be mass-texting all of your friends with the good news. By the final four songs-”The Nu Temptations” (Stooges-worthy riffs! Cowsills counter-harmonies! And more!), the “Surrender”/Noel ‘n’ Liam rockers “Choose to Play” and “Winter Blues,” and the stunning summer psychedelic power pop that is the closing “Hazel Eyes”-you will know the truth. You tried the rest-but now you’ve had the best. The McDonalds were educated at Rock ‘n’ Roll High, and they’ve stayed true to their school. Here’s to their beautiful reunion! Redd Kross Forever!
