THE INTERVIEW
Where did the Name Dungeon Kru come from?
♦ The name comes from the basement we broadcast from. While in high school we use to hangout there a lot, smoking weed. People use to refer to it as the dungeon.
(CasanovaDJ)
Can u tell me how did you all come together to form The Kru?
♦ Well, originally The Dungeon Kru consisted of CasanovaDj, DJ Slick, DJ Steddy and myself. As we grew life came at Steddy fast and he’s taken a back seat to concentrate on being a husband and an amazing father. We couldn’t be prouder. Over the years we’ve associated with so many different acts, people sometimes get lost in who actually is “in” the group. For the record, it’s just MC Danger D, DJ Slick and CasanovaDJ, and we’re all from the same hood.
(MC Danger D)
Do u have plans soon for some more guest spots that we can look forward to hearing and then promptly downloading from Bassjunkees.com archives?
♦ Guest spots are always fun for us, and with a slew of artists coming through in the next months – I’m sure the Junkees won’t be disappointed
(MC Danger D)
What were your thoughts when you found out Dungeon Kru together and as individuals had been nominated and won? What did you do to celebrate?
♦ We were really proud all us and our friends were getting recognized for our hard work. As for celebrating, we polished off 6 bottles of vodka in the v.i.p the night of the awards. Don’t remember much from the night,other than Danger breaking his award in half by accident
(CasanovaDJ)
Which do you think would be the most important event in the history of Dungeon Kru Airways and/or Dungeon kru as a whole?
♦ A house party at Steddy’s parents house in 2004. The first time the Dungeon Kru was ever in the same room. Casanova and Slick are brothers, Steddy was a close friend of theirs – I was there for the Drum and Bass. So since it was the first time we had met, I’d say it would be the most important.
(MC Danger D)
What made you all decide to start to broadcast the show in the beginning?
♦ Steddy actually started the show on bassjunkees.com after several drives to Niagara to play on my (Danger) long time friend DJ A3′s show “Taste of Bass” that still runs on the station. It snowballed after that, eventually we found ourselves filling two slots, Monday and Thursday evenings in Toronto and midnight in the Uk.
(MC Danger D)
Mississauga,CA April 30th/2011
Can you tell me, what are your top tunes?
♦ 10 tunes that get canned on the airwaves (in no particular order)
1. Demolition Man – Fire (Aries remix) (Dungeon Kru VIP)
2. Crystal Clear and Zen – Heavy
3. Mindscape – Bounce
4.Hazard – Bust a Move
5. Kenny Ken – Murder You (Savage Rehab remix)
6. SLY feat. Bassman – The Roller
7. Breakage - Fighting Fire (Loadstar remix)
8. Nu:Tone feat. Heidi Vogel – Coming Back
9. Aries and Murder – One of Those Days
10. Noisia – Friendly Intentions
Genuinely hard to do, since we play a lot of different styles.
(MC Danger D)
Committing two nights every week to play and always putting on a killer show, Live from Mississauga Canada, takes a lot of dedication. What drives you to continue broadcasting?
♦ CasanovaDJ, his relentless drive and love for the music is really the force behind the show. He’s constantly in touch with fellow UK producers and keeping a good eye on the up coming international and Canadian guys in the scene. Shout out to guys like Gremlinz, Visionary, Everfresh (On Point Music), Mutt, Grimm, NC-17, Brockout, Stickbubbly and international guys like Original Sin, Jayline, SLY, Savage Rehab, Pacso, Gusto as well as a slew of guests like Nicky Blackmarket, Top Cat, Ragga Twins, Harry Shotta and Funsta, Demolition Man, Xample, Sub Zero, Bassman, Trigga, Loki, General C, CKB, Pleasure and our first UK guest Benny Page. All the aforementioned have helped contribute to the success of our show. We Thank them All
(MC Danger D)
Have you been told that someone tuned in, heard the show and that was why they were booking you?
♦ It’s happened that people have heard our recorded sets , so indirectly, yes of course. We were recognized with an award at the 2008 Toronto Drum and Bass Awards for the show, but lost in ’09 to fellow bassjunkee NC-17 for his show “The Grindhouse”.
(MC Danger D)
What have you got in store for us in the future?
♦ Well right now we’re working hard towards building a strong local scene, with our monthly nights at JFK’s being a huge success. We plan to expand with NXLVL as well as hosting the smaller more intimate events. We’re continuing to push our clothing sponsor Dub Plate Special (with a few brand new designs planned for the spring). Production has become a hobby of Casanova and Slick. I (Danger) plan on spending more time this spring in the studio putting my vocals on record.
(MC Danger D)
What advice would you give to up and coming DJ’s and MC’s that you think is important for them to keep in the front of their minds about this business?
♦ Treat it like a business and act professional at all times. Know your music and know your history.
(MC Danger D)
What are your thoughts on female Dj’s starting to make a rise seeing as Miss Blyss from Dungeon Kru /Dubplates specialists won for Best female DJ?
♦ Well, she’s not actually a member of Dungeon Kru. She is however a part of the Dub Plate Special family, a resident on our radio show, and a kick ass DJ. As for females “making a rise” we all feel there has always been a strong female DJ presence in Drum and Bass, with pioneers like DJ Flight and DJStorm, leading the way for generations to come.
(MC Danger D)
What is the scene like now in your eyes?
♦ The drum and bass scene in Toronto had died down, with the majority of parties being 19+ and geared towards an older crowd. With the boom of dubstep, electro and electronic music in general we’re seeing a big movement towards kids getting back into packed clubs. So, to put it short, it’s getting healthier every day
(MC Danger D)
What are the ways people can find you and keep up with what’s going on?
♦ The Dungeon Kru fanpage (HERE) and The Nxlvl page (HERE ) are a great start, and don’t forget the M.C. Danger D fanpage Myspace seems like old news and none of us Tweet, but you can reach us or any of the Dub Plate Special roster through www.freshpapercut.com
I say in closing,
Keep an eye and ear out for these guys!
