Like most people, DJs and producers have specific songs tied to events throughout their lives. In Crate Expectations, we extract a playlist from their memories to tell their story. This week's subject: IkonikaTHUMP: What's the first song you ever loved?
Ikonika: The first song I truly loved was Michael Jackson - "In The Closet". Dangerous was actually the first CD I ever bought, so this is very close to my heart. I was totally amazed that Michael would use a producer like Teddy Riley, that was so cool cos I had loads of Blackstreet already on cassette.What are the first 2 songs you ever mixed together?
Umm… It was 2 copies of some bate City High tune… I was just trying to learn. my brother in law sold me his decks and records and these were homework.What's your worst guilty pleasure song?
Haha, I love loads of pop music, my 7 year old niece keeps in touch with what's cool in the mega pop scene. I like The Saturday's new tune hahahhaWhat song have you had on repeat in the last month?Xena – On The Upside (Dub Mix) I love a lot of old freestyle, particularly the dub mixes.
I really cringe at some of the remixes I've done. I think I'm gonna stop doing them.What's the last song you want to hear before the lights go on?
