Thanks for taking some time out to talk to us ahead of your sets at Resistance Vs Ravers Are: on 4th September at the Old Firestation, in Bournemouth..

No probs dude!

As a well established and long running label, it is still important to tell the newer ravers tabout the origin of the label, so can you sum up for us how you got started and where the name Quosh came from?

Of course. Back in ’93 I was playing a lot of Chris Unknown’s solo productions, and we eventually met at a Fusion event in Farnborough in ’94, we swapped numbers, promised eachother a heavy petting session and some arse tickling but before that we met up at a studio in Farnham That’s when Quosh was born, after a few productions, as we realised we worked well together so thought it best to start our own label rather than give the tunes all away to other labels. The name actually came from an orange drink carton that was in the studio at the time, but it also combined with the Hip Hop mentality that I’d grown up with – to “quash” the opposition, so it made sense (and it was a bit different).

Most people know through your own clever marketing that Quosh is ‘Owned and creatively grown by’ yourself and Chris Unknown, but I’m sure people are curious what drives you, gives you inspiration for tracks and how would you sum up the sound that is Quosh?

I suppose the most defining aspect of our sound is the bass – it’s my one big passion, I do love a phat b-line, and Chris does too. Inspiration comes & goes in spurts…you may hear something on TV or the radio which gives you a little idea and you try & work a track around it. Nowadays everyone plays mostly their own material so finding the drive to make tunes is more out of necessity now to keep our sets fresh!

So, what is involved in a typical week within the Quosh headquarters?
Or is there no such things as a ‘typical week’?

Not anymore. Now we’re both working with other producers a lot to keep things interesting but still find plenty of time to work together. There’s so much to do, from producing, to VAT & tax returns, accounting to other artists, delivering content to mp3 stores, getting artwork for releases sorted, keeping the website (QuoshRecords.com) updated, dealing with orders…the list is endless!

As we already mentioned, both you and the label have been in the scene for a number of years, and obviously the scene has changed alot in that time.
Various things like the move from vinyl to CD & digital (MP3s), as well as the use of social media to advertise, I just wanted to pick your brains on those things as you have been around to see all those changes.Firstly, how do you think the move from Vinyl to CDs & MP3s has affect the scene, and do you think it is a good thing?

It’s a good thing in that DJs can test mixdowns of their tunes out cheaply & quickly, no more hauling huge bags of record around either, but the file sharing thing is a big fat pain in the arse for the whole industry. I also think it’s cheapened the scene a bit, because in years gone by producers wouldn’t even think about getting promo done of a tune unless it really was a banger, because of the expense involved in getting it onto vinyl. Nowadays any old shit can get out there…just look at Hixxy…….JOKE before anyone starts on me!

Obviously there is concerns with respect to the sharing of digital files etc, and what is your standpoint on this?

People will always try & get things for free if they can, but what’s annoying is how cheaply we offer our tunes in the first place! I don’t want to preach about how bad it is for the scene etc etc because people already know that. All I can do is give the most amount of respect (and I mean this) to all those who support their favourite artists and buy their material rather than illegally download it.

And are there any measures you are/can take to discourage or stop this?

Not really at the moment. As I mentioned we price them pretty cheaply considering the price of a vinyl! No amount of badgering people to stop illegal downloading because it will kill the scene will help – they don’t care!! They just wanna save a quid

Obviosuly you still use Vinyl to scratch during your sets, I was just wondering why with the release of the ‘Skip Proof’ series on CD you haven’t moved acorss to digital scratching?
Is it the feel of the vinyl scratching, the less impressive look scratching on CDJs, or something else?

I much prefer the feel of vinyl decks to CD decks, simples! Remember I come from a Hip Hop background – turntables still rule in that game

So with regards to the label again, some people may not understand how the signing to a label works, could you help them out with that? For example people sometimes release on a record label but does that mean they are signed to the label?

We sign tracks 99% of the time, not artists, at Quosh. So it is a contract between the releasing record label (Quosh) and the producer just for a (or some) specific track(s). Some labels sign artists to work for them exclusively or non-exclusively.

And if a signer is signed to a label can they only record for that label?

Depends on the terms of the contract. They can be exclusive or non-exclusive. It’s up to the label & the artist to agree on these terms.

Brilliant, thanks for that insight.
OK so moving onto the event coming up next weekend. What can the ravers expect from you, other than your awesome scratching prowess? Are there any any new releases or cheeky bootlegs to watch out for?

Yep loads of new stuff, few cheeky booties, some original vocal & instrumentals

Going back to back with the current number one DJ, that should be an awesome set, I know I am looking forward to it are you, and how do you feel about going B2B on your sets?

I enjoy them actually, not being constantly on the decks means you can soak up some of the atmosphere & think a bit more carefully about what next to play. And of course I’m looking forward to it you nutter!!

I’m sure alot of ravers often wonder, despite years of DJing at events, how you feel just before you step up to the decks and effects?
Do you still get nervous, and how do you prepare for a set?

Not really nervous, maybe apprehensive. The thing is I often do last sets and that’s a difficult task, cos everyone else has been on, cained all the big tunes, so it’s knowing (or rather trying to imagine) what HASN’T been played perhaps, but also giving the crowd that final big send off. In terms of preparing, I always try & ring a few of the boys before I get to a gig to see what they played etc to try & avoid repetition.

Can we expect to see a Quosh live PA anytime soon??

Oh I should think so. Not sure when or where yet though!

Thanks again for your time. But one final question before you go.
What do you think of Bournemouth as a raving town??

Could possibly be my favourite now.
Every party I do down there goes off!! Must be the warmer weather?!

So there is is.. straight from the legend himself… Make sure you don’t miss his very special set at The Summer Slammer 2010 – THIS SATURDAY!!!
