I am a walking mass of contradictions, slightly overweight but very good looking, a ‘scally’ but well read, modest but totally aware of the motherfucking musical mayhem I can unleash. hahaha.

I’m Gaz West, AKA DarkbyDesign, I like writing, remixing and playingstuff.

2. When did you first show an interest in DJ’ing / producing?

I was going to Gatecrasher every weekend from about late ’99 to ’02, after this period a lot of my friends started to DJ… but Mr. ‘Iwanttobedifferent’ West here, tried his hand at making, as opposed to playing music. DJing out became inevitable, after following Alex Kidd to gigs and such I wanted more than credit… I wanted a slice of the spotlight, I suppose.

3. Who would you say have influenced you over the years musically?

Every piece of music I’ve ever listened to and liked. Done.

4. What has been your favourite event to-date and why?

Tokyo, Japan. The Velfarre in Ropongi. I just love Japan and it’s culture (Video games.) hahaha.

5. What other artists would you recommend in the scene at the moment?

Huge fan of Kutski, so forward thinking… about retro shit. He’s a walking mass of contradictions too but I won’t go into it…haha. Phil York is on fire right now. Up n comers, I’m loving Alex Foxx’s sudden return, he’s definately been busy. Sykesy too, they’re both gonna be huge one day. Well, Foxy already is huge, a huge cock. hahaha.

6. What would you say is your favourite record label at the moment?

Mine. Neeeeeeeeeeeeeeeext.

7. What would you say has been your biggest achievement in your DJ’ing career so far?

See Question 4. Productions however, them 5 awards were pretty good.

8. What’s the strangest thing you have ever seen at an event?

Someone once stood watching me DJ for about 25 minutes, just looking at the decks, not dancing. Then for some reason he decided he gonna throw his drink over me. That was pretty strange as he looked like worzel gummageand was built like tracing paper. hahaha.

9. What can we expect from you in the future?

Better production and better DJing, still learning with every track/performance and I don’t intend to stop.

10. Do you have a message for the Infexious crew?

HERE WE… HERE WE…HERE WE FUCKIN’ GO! I’ll see you at the front you crazy ‘Jocks’!!!
