Artist Interview

Another highlight would be the birth of "Housewerk". Our own event that's ran by Alfie Crook, Johny5 and myself.

Please introduce yourself to those unfamiliar with your DJ sound.

Hi, I'm BUFS and I am a Dj and Producer who plays Jackin Chicago house. Although that's the main genre, I also dip in to the more deep and sometimes more techy side of Jackin, and sometimes just all out house music.

What are your highlights of the past year and what is planned for the future?

I would have to say the highlights of the past year was playing up in Manchester for an event called "Unpolished people". They had an OG underground house music legend Jason Hodges headlining, and I had the privilege of taking over from him. Another highlight would be the birth of "Housewerk". Our own event that's ran by Alfie Crook, Johny5 and myself. The opener was a great night with some awesome music and a great turnout, so I'm extremely happy it's up and running. We are hoping to keep this going quite regularly, so if you see the name "housewerk" pop up, make sure you get there for some great House Music! I'm also continuing to produce stuff (albeit slowly) and have a few releases signed and due out at some point this year, one on Reason 2 funk records and one on Big speaker music. Both of which I'm extremely happy to be releasing on! I also have a remix of one of Philly Phil's tracks coming soon on Jump Beat records. He's a production machine so I was really chuffed when he asked me to do a remix of one of his tunes!

Stay true to what you like!

Tell us something positive to inspire future artists.

Well this is probably more from a production standpoint, but the best quote that I heard recently was from a Guy called Jon Anthony , the owner of Nine Sixteen Muzic. He said:

"Make & Create WHATEVER you want & HOWEVER you want because you’re not going to be able to please everyone in this industry…. “NOT EVERYONE IS GOING TO LIKE WHAT YOU’RE COOKING UP, AND THAT’S OK! YOU SHOULDN’T EXPECT TO FEED EVERYONE ANYWAYS!"

This really resonates with me and I think about it whenever I try and make a track or make a track selection for a set. Stay true to what you like!

What artists have inspired your DJ style?

From a DJ point of view I have to say its Derrick Carter, Phil weeks, DJ Sneak and DJ Heather. They are the leaders of the genre which I love and I've listened to their mixes for decades now. Legends of the game! Gotta give daft punk a mention too, a life long fav! Production wise there's so many to mention, but id have to say overall my favourite producer is Chemars. Hes an absolute machine man, he releases about 3 tracks a week and they are all fire! Seriously check out his back catalogue, its a treasure trove!

Talk us through your podcast mix track selection.

Well I always like to play sets of tracks that are exciting me at that time, so these are all relatively new tracks released over the last few months. I Just love music that creates a really "feel good" atmosphere, to see smiles on the dancefloor, So I've tried to capture that in the selection. I've tried to give a snapshot of my style on an hour , so tried to keep it pumping and funky with lots of strings and disco hits in there. Also, funky basslines are a MUST!! I thought it would be fitting to throw one of my own productions in there so I finished off with "Take me away". I hope you enjoy it!

Thank you for inviting me to be a part of the Little South series, I love what you are doing! I'm honoured to contribute a small part to the Southwests music scene!
