Interview:
How did you come up
with the name, "Zukeepa"?
I came up with the ZuKeepa because I wanted to come up with
an original name that meant something about the music scene. I realized that we
are all party animals and the Dj controls the vibes
So the zukeepa was born
How did you start
producing music and where do you see it taking you?
I started producing music because I would hear original tracks in my
head before bed and wanted to recreate them.
I see it getting me recognized as a household name in the DNB scene
once my productions get better with knowledge.
What was your most
memorable booking?
My most memorable bookings were when I played with Deacon
and Original Sin. Before I was a Dj, I looked up to Deacon as one of my
favorite djs. He played techstep and was a common name on the lineups of LA
raves. Original sin is a true original in the game so playing with him was a
great honor
Who, would you say,
has been your biggest inspiration?
HellNegative has been
a big inspiration because I have learned about music production from him and he
would answer any of my production questions whenever i would ask
What are your
opinions on the current state of electronic music?
I first heard drum and bass in 1999 and since then I've been
saying that DNB is the future. Although, DNB isn't the mainstream genre in 2016
like I thought it would be, it has still influenced many of the edm genres with
its basslines.
