Will Saul - The Buzzin' Fly Q&A
In February we release a collaborative single by Simple Records' boss Will Saul and Playtime's Mike Monday entitled 'Zippo'. Will answers a few tricky questions.
...............................................
Where were you born?
Taunton, Somerset
Your parents' occupations?
Mum was a model, Dad was a designer
Your first poster on your bedroom wall?
My godfather painted Superman on my wall when I was about 8
The first fashion statement you made?
Luminous pink socks
A 'guilty pleasure' record from your early teens?
Something by Rick Astley or the Bee Gees - but this was under ten ... I progressed to the Jackson 5 as my guilty pleasure in my early teens.
Little Dorritt or X Factor?
Could happily watch both
Your first car?
VW Beetle
Three days off. What do you do?
Three days is enough time to enjoy a European city. Barcelona is one of my favorite European cities as you have the coast/beaches and also tons of stunning architecture, art and culture at your fingertips. Not forgetting the food ... If money was no object then I would charter a private jet to get there and back.
As a DJ how do you express your feminine side without putting off the blokes?
I've long since stopped worrying about what the blokes think ... if the girls are dancing then so will the men.
DJing in open-toed footwear. Good idea?
Never a good idea....stilettos hurt.
Have you been to the theatre recently? If so, what did you see?
The closest I've been to a theatre recently was West Side Story.
Four items to always keep in the fridge ...
Humous, milk, fresh veg, fresh coffee
Animals you identify with?
I can't think of any animals that I directly identify with but I love cats and I've been fascinated/terrified in equal measure by sharks since a young age.
You are left on your own in Rymans. What items do you steal?
It's all about the marker pens ....
Could you use a Stylophone on a techno record?
Funny you should ask that, I did a track with Tom from Spirit Catcher earlier in the year and we used a sound from a stylophone although we haven't released it yet - not sure whether that means yes or no. I think yes - it's all about the context and how you effect/record the sound.
The drink that makes you belligerent is ...
5 Glasses of Red Wine
The drink that makes you benevolent is ...
1 Glass of Red Wine
Three under rated producer-DJs ...
Sound Stream/Mike Monday/I-Cube (ok so he's pretty well known but he should be absolutely massive - my favorite electronic music producer)
Three golden classics in your wallet this week ...
Model 500 'Wanna Be There' (Dave Angel Remix), Recloose 'Get There Tonight', Coldcut & Hextatic 'Timber'
Three unreleased bullets in your wallet this week ...
Appleblim & Ramadanman 'Sous Le Sable' on Aus Music, Shur-I-kan - 'Tubular' on Aus Music, Mike Monday - 'Zwivetty' on Simple
Predictions for 2009 ...
Disco continues it's world domination
