Devlin In The D

This is my dude, hands down. We met two sxsw ago (austin measure of time, man I have been here too long) when Spank Rock was touring on one of the initial legs of the YOYOYOYO tour. They routed that same tour back through Austin a month or so later and we played a show at Emos together. All I can say is that was the one of the best live shows I have ever been to and been a part of. Through all the touring, remixes, guest appearances and side projects, Devlin is still a down ass dude. I wish I could say that about Darko, hahahaha (what up ronnie!). Baltimore Bass Connection in its core pairing will be playing this Saturday at the Lizard Lounge Rave jump off. Go grab the new Fabriclive mix cd from Spank Rock and be on the look out for new Fully Fitted releases and the China Town Bus Tour coming soon.

WHAT'S YOUR NAME, WHERE ARE YOU FROM AND WHO ARE YOU DOWN WITH?
C. Rockswell, Mr. Devlin..."the good cop"..im down with Ronnnie D "the bad cop", The armanixxxchange, Pase "the god" Rock, Cool Disco MC Spankro, Chipset, Pretty Titty and The Klayston Prince, amongst
others.

HOW LONG HAS THE BBC BEEN AROUND?
It came about in 2004 when Alex (xxxchange) and I did this mix called Voila, holler at me for a section, www.bbcsound.com.

WAS IT SPANK ROCK THEN BBC OR THE OTHER WAY AROUND?
Yeah Spank Rock then BBC, now Fully Fitted soon to be Crabtops.

DID YOU EXPECT YOUR CRAFT TO TAKE YOU ALL AROUND THE WORLD?
NO. Never but it feels so right. I love seeing all these places and it makes going home so sweet too.

ARE THERE ANY PROJECTS THAT YOU ARE CURRENTLY WORKING ON?
A 12" release of the Chipset/ Rockswell 50 ways to leave your lover edit bbc sound. We've got Scottie B and Flosstradamus on the remixes. Also, Alex and I recently finished a remix for Kudu, italo disco style rework of "lets finished what we started", it sounds good in the club, at home the jury is still out. The fully fitted team (Alex, Ron, Pase and I) also just turned in an edit of Dj Class's "Rollit, Lightit, Smokeit" for an Unruly comp due out soon, check them at unruly online.

IS THERE ANYONE THAT YOU WANT TO WORK WITH?
David Gilmore of Pink Floyd. I just want to sit in chairs behind all the dope dudes and figure out how to make music.

I WILL BE HONEST AND SAY THAT YOU AND THE BOYS ARE HUGE INFLUENCES ON ME. WHO INFLUENCES YOU?
Right now, well my crew keeps me critical and hungry. Cosmo Baker was a big influence. Tony Touch. I've been watching the Pink Floyd "Dark Side of the Moon" documentary. It's amazing and has been making me think about music a lot. Also I'm feeling the Panda Bear record and the new LCD soundsystem too. I think I would like to figure out how to make some cool ass cinematic sounding dance music like them but hey I'm just a DJ wamp wamp. whatch out.

FUNNY STORIES, CRAP TALKING AND ANY RANDOM THOUGHTS CAN BE PLACED HERE. THAT WRAPS EVERYTHING UP.
For the record, Lilly Allen ain't nice and Peaches is dope.
