Chicken vs Ajax

Its one thing to write about a genius, its another to get to interview him. Ajax has taken the time from his extremely busy schedule to have a chat to the chicken. He has played 4 club sets alongside acts like Miami Horror and Boys Noize and 1 festival set all in the last week. So the chicken is very grateful and honored to get this interview. This is how it went.

Chicken - "Adrian, thank you for taking the time to answer a few questions for the Chicken, i can understand that you are a very busy man. Firstly, who are your influences and who is the biggest act you have played alongside?"

Adrian - "I would have to say dj Craze as the biggest influence... Biggest act I have actually played with would be either Beastie boys, Snoop Dog or Daft punk. No i didn't talk to snoop but in true gangsta style i did get mugged after the gig!"

Chicken - "Disco is fast becoming the latest craze. Where can you see the dance music scene in Australia going from there?"

Adrian - "Hmmmm it seem s to be split into a few camps now, disco being one , dutch being another...and the beetroots/ boyz noize euro tech thing being the third. Of course there is always the mainstream house electro but i guess I don't really fit into any of these. I guess I am horn/midget house, and what I call ravehall, or ragga tech, fidget and that dutch baltimore tribal crossover sound. I guess I am drawn to this because of the obvious hip hop influences and its always surprising, which i diggity!"

Chicken - "Before you got into mixing, what did you want to do with your life?"

Adrian - "I was a lecturer at UNSW in the art campus studying my MFA by research. I was also a bartender at a lesbian bar."

Chicken - "How did you come up with the name 'Sweat It Out'?"

Adrian - "Hmmm I dunno but it sucks... Would have been better if it was called 'White Panther' but then we would have sounded like wankers!"

Chicken - "Finally, what was it about our local heroes Junior and Xavier (Loot & Plunder) that made you want them to be a part of your label?"

Adrian - Because they are not wankers. I also heard them play one of the best sets I have ever heard. "Hurry up on your production you wankers!"

Chicken - "Thank you Adrian, can’t wait to have you back for Future Music Festival 2010 hitting Adelaide on the 8th of March."

Well there you have it bloggers and blogettes Mr Adrian Thomas AKA Ajax himself on the Chicken. Stay tuned because there is plenty more to come.
