Interview with Dahl:
Q: Why did you start DJing?
A: I stumbled into DJing purely by chance. I started hanging out at Etage and one of the resident DJs, Anders Stedtzon, caught my interest. Whenever I was at clubs, I had a party trick - my LED glasses. I always stood out with them. He constantly pestered me about where I got them, but I didn't want to reveal it until the day he asked if I wanted to learn, and of course, I couldn't say no. The deal was that I had to disclose where I bought them. Said and done, suddenly I was a DJ at Etage.
I always had a vision that one day I would learn the art of mixing songs, but I never knew how or when.
Q: Describe your style in three words.
A: Diverse, rich, and lively.
Q: Your best set in 2023?
A:The opening weekend for The Cage at Etage was magical, but my best performance ever was in Regensburg in 2022.
Q: Your favorite track right now?
A: When I'm out performing, Space Laces - Dominant VIP is a truly powerful track to close with. But for everyday listening... that's a tough one to answer.
Q: A track you never get tired of?
A: M.I.K.E. Push & Rank1 - Juno
Q: Where can one find the best falafel in Malmö?
A: Do people still eat falafel? I've often passed by Falafel nr1, located between Rosengård and Persborg, and always think that someday...
Q: A Malmö DJ you want to highlight?
A: My mentor who taught me everything I know. He deserves more than he got the chance to experience. Unfortunately, his passion for DJing was extinguished during the pandemic. Anders 'DJandy' Stedtzon.
Lastly, I want to take this opportunity to thank you for the invitation to your fantastic podcast.
