What’s the difference between being a radio DJ and a club DJ?
I can choose every song by myself when I’m a club DJ but at EFM, most of the songs are already listed. The jobs require different skills. Being a DJ, you need to learn how to speak lively and always brighten up your listener’s day. Even if you just broke up with your girlfriend, you can’t keep playing sad songs 24/7. A club DJ is different—you must tune the beats up to the audience’s moods using your own feelings. From my personal view, I think that I have more responses from people when I’m in a club. I can really see what they’re doing, unlike when I’m sitting in front of a control panel and receiving faxes or messages from somewhere far away. The two things are just different.

Why funky music?
It’s fun. This kind of music is perfect for a party. You can imagine everyone moving their bodies with the beat while getting drunk. Compared to something like trance, its bass and guitar lines are not too hard and everyone can enjoy it. Also, I’ve been collecting vinyl records for a long time. I looked at the ones with the funky beats and I was like, “Hey, these are interesting and more classic. People should have a chance to hear them.” So I talked to my friend at Café Democ and ask if I could drop by and set up a small party. He was OK with the idea, so we arranged the party, which later became monthly.

Apart from funky house, do you also listen to other styles of music?
Yes, of course. I listen to rock, pop, jazz, bossanova...both Thai and international songs. It usually depends on my mood.
