Andrew Oddesey
Toronto, Canada
So how did it all begin?
Well I used to go to my cousins house when I was young, like 11 years old and sit there and watch him play for hours. He was a bedroom Dj, but man I thought it was the coolest thing in the world. Then I pretty much begged my parents for a year straight to buy me turntables and a mixer. They would always say "Oh Andrew your gonna give this up in two weeks and then what". And here I am about 12 years later haha. But shortly after I did get a job as a wedding dj assisant when I was about 12 years old, and there I was again just sitting and listening to the Dj, writing down his sets learn what he was doing and why he was doing it. Then pretty much moved up from there, Parties, high school dances, all age events, then club nights. So the journey has been crazy lol, I eventually got in producing my own stuff, been messing around for like 5 years, but started really focusing on that in the past 2 or 3.
Where do you live?
Toronto, Canada. Yea Im Canadian, and proud of it.
Where did the name come from?
Um Im not really sure lol, I was always a space junky. I was always fascinated by space and stars I believe I got it from there.
What's the best event you've played at?
Oh man thats a huge question haha. Ive done so many crazy parties, but one I can really remember vividly still, THIS IS LONDON(Product Night Club), New Years Eve, in Toronto. That was just insane, like 2000 people just going crazy for 4 hours, it was defiantly a sick night. I hate to not remember stuff but yea theres been so many but that one was my most recent favourite.
What was your first record you bought?
The first record I had ever purchused was a B.I.G track, Juicy. haha I was a hip hop head before house(shhhh). I always just enjoyed all types of music. It helped me create my own music, being inspired by so many different genres at such a early age.
Out of all the tunes you have, which one 'never fails?
Oh I got so many that I believe "never fail", but if I had to pick just one thats kind of recent would be a Bootleg I did of "Reload" by Tommy Trash And Ingrosso. Theres just so much energy in it, I look at the people standing in the back at the bar fist pumping haha.
What's you favourite tune of all time?
Favourite all time, like not genre based? I would have to say "Bob Marley - Is This Love". No matter how many times I listen to that Man or that song, I get the same feeling deep inside as the first time I listen to it.
So how is the scene in your eyes at the moment?
The Scene is great. People are raving coming out to shows. I remember a time where the "regular" people would look at me and be like what the heck is this music, and those are the same people I see at all the Festivals, all the Parties, haha. No but seriously its great, I love to see everyone just opening up there mind to music. The Scene is at such a high right now, witch is great for Producer / Djs like me, I just love this music (EDM) so its amazing to finally see everyone party like how Europe's been doing for a decade. We (North America) just like to show up fashionable late haha.
What advice would you give to up and coming DJs/Producers?
Practice, Practice, Practice. Theres no secret there no inside answer, Its just all about practice. Don't rush your productions, take the time to make it just right, don't just release anything just cause you want to release a track. Get the sound just right and bang on, so other big Djs will play it, cause if it doesn't match up to the next track in that genre, its not going to get played.
what do you think of sohblog?
