Luke Drelick:
Luke, dude. I am happy I have the chance to interview you. Are you looking forward to
the Millennium?
Aaah, well it's my honor. I'm looking forward to the Millenium. Friends of mine are gonna fly from all
over the US to a huge rave I'm throwing in the local woods.
Awesome! DoggyShop, Hydra and I are going to build a huge bomb to enter the new
Millennium. DoggyShop, however, is sure we will all die during the Millennium.
Could you tell me more about the rave?
Well I dunno, gonna have some DJ's, lots of music, drugs, lots of people, etc. Of course there's the slight problem
of cops... But right now me and my fellow organizers are playing it by ear.
Very cool. Speaking of music... how did you get into house music?
Luke Drelick:
UK pirate radio. And the women... Someone told me that if you like House you get the women.
And so far that has proved to be pretty true.
Ahh. Funky! I really *love* the kickin' beats of house music. My favorite sorts are 2step,
gabber and trance. What are your favorite sorts of house music?
2-step garage definitely. man, I remember when I was in the Heathrow area of London, I got this one pirate
station... they were playing this kind of music, I couldn't tell if it was more speedgarage or more
r&b... I listened to it but it was amazing... I was calling it "real fucked up speed garage" at the
time but later I found otu that it was called "2-step garage" and it was the cutting edge sound
of the UK.
So how many girls did you get so far?
Define "get".
Well, you said when you listen to house music, you get the chicks.
Oh, well what do you mean by "get" them.
Either having a girlfriend or screwing one. =)
Well I don't get down on the first night. And I've had a number of girlfriends.
Good. I wouldn't either. Monica taught us well. =) Anyway, have you ever been to a house party?
Luke Drelick:
Yeah, you know my favorite remix of that song of course. Yeah.
Ahh. Cool. I've recently been invited by a Dutch gabber DJ to come to a huge gabber party.
The atmosphere on house parties is usually really kickin'. Do you remember when you first got drunk
in your life?
No I don't really drink much surprisingly. I go to parties for the music. Too many people go to them for all
the wrong things. To get drunk, to get high, to trip, etc. I go for the atmosphere and the most
important element: the music. Anyways guess my fave remix of Monica.
Ahh. You're a true music-lover indeed. So am I. To feel da beat. Did Robbie Craig do that
remix?
Nope, Razor -n- Guido.
How big is the house scene in the US?
It's more underground, less commercial than UK. It depends where you go.
Eastcoast it's very hard, you got the whole NYHC movement, R-N-G, Vasquez, Johnny
Vicious, etc... Westcoast is more breakbeaty, you got Sasha in San Fran of course and other groups
in that area. Deephouse and US Garage (Maw, Armand, etc) are less prevalent and trance is
slowly making inroads in the US. Apparently the Jaxx are quite big over here.
Ooh. Interesting. Do you have a lot of house clubs in the States, like they have here in
Europe (mainly, UK, The Netherlands, Belgium and Germany)?
Ya, lots of teenybopper clubs, my friend has residence in Twilo tho (huge club in
NYC, Vasquez has residence there on sat. nights for the fags and Sasha&Digweed spin their the last
Friday every month). Of course there's the tunnel with Tenaglia.
Ahh. Vasquez isn't much of your taste, apparently. =) How do you like the British
formation of Basement Jaxx?
Luke Drelick:
The Jaxx are mint, I remember first hearing about them when I got my Vasquez
double CD for Xmas, I was listening to it while playing my Xenogears game and I heard this one
track that mixed after the classic "do it again" called "fly life" by the Jaxx, and it was like so
underground. So I'm like talking all this shit up about the Jaxx, about how I like all this
underground, and then I go to the UK and they're on the fucking covers of URB and Mixmag! And like I went back and hyped em
up for all my friends, when Remedy came out in the us we all got it!
Yeah. They are currently doing a tour through Europe. Unfortunately I can't go and see
them. How do you like gabber music (that has its origin in The Netherlands)?
Well my friend tim got this CD 'Digital Sex Hardcore', and it was all gabber... we listened
to it when we play smash, it was like the hardest fucking shit man!!! It's got this one song that's jsut
like "fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fucking faggots!!!", and it's got the super insane
death fist song and the "a lotta guys like my legs... do you like my legs" "aaaaahhh I liiiike loooong
legs". It was like insane!
Yeah. Gabber kicks serious ass. Hydra and I are currently working on a gabber
homepage. Hydra is known to the gabber scene as DJ Gold and I'm The Headhunter. We both plan on
mixing and tracking gabber songs again, which is kick-ass! Is there a gabber scene in the US?
Luke Drelick:
No! Well none that I know. I think some gabber DJ's might be in NYC but dunno. some kids I know got the
Thunderdome CDs from like when they went to fucking Germany! I remember hearing it in 10th
grade, my friend remarked how gabber is the reason why all Germans are insane and shit!
Yeah, DJ Delirium and Lenny Dee come from the US, as do some others. The scene
here in Holland is big. Well, it used to be much bigger, but it's still big.
Ya, that's cool. Look man I gotta take a shower cause I just got back from like a 10 hour busride
and I gotta go to my friends house and prepare for Twilo this fri. So it was a pleasure doin the
interview. Hope to hear from you soon.
Indeed. See ya around, brother!
And remember: BULLS ARE NUMBER 1 IN DIV-1A!!!!!
Yes!
Bye!
