CEVIN FISHER
BORN: East Orange, New Jersey, October 26, 1963.
LIFE BEFORE DJING: "Drummer. I played in bands with people like David Cole from C&C Music Factory."
FIRST DJ GIG: "My father owned bars and nightclubs and I started at my father's club Tingles in New Jersey when I was about 16. I played various styles then, like early hip hop: Davy DMX, Grandmaster Flash."
MOST MEMORABLE GIG:
Best -
"Industry, Toronto, October 1996.
The energy of the crowd was
incredible. When I played the last
record they turned the lights out and
it was pitch black and then everyone
in the club lit sparklers. It was like a
tribute."
Worst - "In the USA a few weeks ago.
My set was being recorded after I
refused permission. I'd already told
the guy I'd send him a tape from New
York. I had acetates that he couldn't
use on his radio show because they
needed approval before going on the
radio. We ended up smashing the
DATs and I'm not normally like that."
FAVOURITE CLUBS:Sonar, Montreal; Twilo, New York; Industry, Toronto.
DJ TRADEMARK: "My selection of music the marriage between hard and soulful. I either start hard and end up soulful or the other way round."
LIFE OUTSIDE DJING: Artist: 'Music Is Pumping' People Underground (Nervous); 'Women Beat Their Men' Submission (Velocity). Remixer: 'I Believe' Pro Toolz (Velocity); 'Din Da Da' Kevin Aviance (Wave); 'L'Obelico del Mondo' Jovanotti (Am:Pm); 'The Pressure' Sounds Of Blackness (Am:Pm); "I'm a movie fanatic and rent loads of movies, different weird ones, and I love sports."
