Interview with Filthy Rich

With the latest edition of UP^^ just around the corner we catch UP^^ with Gatecrasher House Resident, Kiss Da Funk regular and pioneer of WiLDCHiLD & Frantic Funky House arenas, I present to you in 11 exclusive questions the main UP^^ man and resident supreme “Filthy Rich”
1. We´ve just managed to catch you before you go out for your second session in Ibiza this summer. So tell all, what have you been up to this year?
I was out in Ibiza a few weeks ago to play for Garlands vs kiss the funk at Eden which was absolutely awesome. They organised a boat party at the last minute which was amazing, definitely a highlight of the year. We sailed out as the sun went down and there was a wicked crowd onboard, everyone was well up for it! It got pretty messy though. After that I had a warm up set in the main room of Eden, and then a Classics set in the back room. All in all a wicked day, and one to remember. Its good to be so involved with such a well known night in Ibiza.
2. What does a typical day consist of for you in Ibiza?
Well, if its not a Monday or Tuesday I usually just chill out at Kanya or Coastline, or hit a beach. Every Monday I´m in Ibiza you´ll find me in DC10, and every Tuesday at Bora Bora - my two favourite places in the world. Lets also not forget Sundays at Space! However, I also like to eat out in Ibiza town or Kazbah.
3. Whats your favourite night on the white isle?
Circo Loco @ DC10 is my favourite night or should I say day? You have to experience it to believe it - there´s no other place like it! I try not to miss one when I´m there. Made in Italy is another amazing night at Amnesia, which is getting more and more popular this year.
4. In your opinion what are this years Ibiza scorching tracks?
Well its hard to ignore the Eric Prydz mix of Call On Me. Its definitely the best mix out of all of them. There have been several bootlegs, however, this mix stands out - its a massive track you´ll be hearing all summer long!
Also Deep Dish´s - Flashdance is absolutely wicked. Its got an unmisstakebale guitar riff that everyone goes mental to! There´s also a new Skylark mix which is due soon.
Spektrum - Kinda New (Tiefschwarz mix) is another huge track that I have hearing everywhere. Its a proper dirty electric track that rips up any dancefloor.
Max Linen´s - Flashback also sticks in my head - the reaction that I get to this tune is awesome.
5. You get back from Ibiza on the 28th and its looks like you´ll be pretty busy from then on. What does the bank holiday weekend have in store for you?
On the Saturday night I playing at Up! Its one of my residencies in London. Its been a while since the last one so I´m, really looking forward to it. Then, on the bank holiday Sunday, I´ve got Wildchild followed by Gatecrasher which are two of the best nights that I play at. Bank holidays always turnout to be something special. I hope I´ve got enough energy to power it through upon returning the UK following my shenanigans in Ibiza!!
6. What can we expect from your turntable skills at the next up?
At the last two Up events, I´ve been on resident duty and have therefore been doing a warm up set. This time however, I have the pleasure of the main set which I´m really looking forward to . This gives me a chance to actually play some of my biggest tunes that I don´t always get to do. Lets put it this way... it´ll be something a bit special.
7. We hear that you have been grafting away in the studio, is there any further news in that department?
I have been working on a few tracks since I signed to the Nukleuz House Agency "Beautiful". A few of them are work in progress, however, I´ve just finished a mix of a big summer track Mohito - Slip Away which is a collaboration between Steve Angello and 80s king of Pop Howard Jones! I´m really pleased with the finished and look forward to giving the record a good battering around the circuit over the coming months!
8. How would you describe your current sound?
I don´t like to pigeon hole my sound. I play all forms of house music - anything from dirty electro - tinged house to the tougher drum driven tribal beats. However, there´s nothing like a but of funk and a massive vocal to bring the house down. Anything goes, depending on where and when I am playing. At the end of the day its all House music, my goal is simple, I want to make people dance and enjoy themselves.
9. Do you have any heroes or idols when it comes to fellow DJs, is there anyone technically you are in awe of?
James Zabeila is definately top of the list... if you don´t know what I mean you have to watch his new "Alive" DVD/CD. The guy is ridiculous - he has no boundaries and has taken things to the absolute limit. Steve Lawler is also a master technically, and one of my favourite DJs. I also like a good scratch and Eddie Haliwell and Ilogik are two of the best. In terms of the sound I play, then you’d have to say Erick Morillo is absolutely top of the pile at the moment!
10. What the best thing about being Filthy Rich?
I guess its just that I get to do what i love doing, and get a reaction from my audience. But I can tell you the worst thing about being Fithy Rich...and that´s not being Filthy Rich. Share this :: : : :
