Alfie Scotting, also known as 'Still Def', is a popular DJ based in Cardiff, and mixes all genres of dance music such as garage, house and drum and bass. Alfie was introduced to this kind of music by a group of his friends who all mixed, and when he tried it himself he immediately got addicted. Now part of 'DYNMCS', the drum and bass label, Alfie is involved in organising raves and events and performing to a crowd of people.
I was interested to hear a DJ's perspective on the drug culture associated with raving and find out if he's affected by a majority of his audience being on certain drugs/substances. I was also keen to find out if he noticed a difference in what people were taking on his dance floor.
Here are the interview highlights:
How did you get into becoming a DJ and being a part of a drum and bass label?
Does it affect you how a lot of people take drugs/substances at your events?
Do you think the rave industry would be as popular as it is today without drugs?
What do you think the future of raves is?
