INTERVIEW: DJ Wristpect w/ HHC!
Get to know DJ Wristpect in this interview/feature with HipHopCanada. Stylus DJ Awards coming at the end of the month and he’s nominated for 3. Good luck brudda!
Toronto, ON – When Canada’s best DJs got together in 2009 at the Stylus Awards, only a few could walk away more distinguished than they left. DJ Wristpect was one of the lucky ones, taking home Canadian DJ of the Year. That means, by definition, for 365 days he was the number one jockey across this vast country of ours. Maybe it came down to his diverse, eclectic capabilities.
Maybe it was a reflection of his non-stop schedule of club appearances. Maybe it was the sum of all the work he’s done building his brand. Either way, Wristpect got his due respect. A year later, he’s released his latest installment of Bridging The Gap Mixtape Series, this time Toronto to Virginia. He collaborated with DJ Jester to release an all house mixtape. He’s played dates in Hong Kong, Shanghai and New York and is about to embark on another west coast tour.
Oh yeah, and he’s now part of Smash Squad DJs with Clinton Sparks and Starting From Scratch. HipHopCanada’s Ajani Charles (Project T dot) sat down with arguably Canada’s hardest working DJ to see what he’s working with and working towards.
