DJ Craze came by to drop a pulsating, scratch-heavy mix and talk about immigrating as a child, his battle history, and being the Floyd Mayweather of DJ’ing.

On immigrating to the states…

I remember getting to this crazy country and smelling pancakes.

On early interests…

I was 14 or 15 and my brother got some decks and I thought that shit was cool…I was looking up to dudes like Magic Mike, and Jealous J, and Jock D and I was like “I wanna do these scritchy scratchy sounds”.

On being a ladies man…

I was like “If I can control parties…I’m gonna get laid”…It didn’t work out that well.

On battling…

I just wanted to fuck people up.
