#YoungCalifornia Featured DJ: Brandon Fox

Posted by Matthew Garner on November 17, 2014

Next up on #YoungCalifornia’s featured DJ list is Brandon Fox formerly known as B-EZ haling from Hercules, California! Make sure you hit the jump to not only listen to his mixes, but learn about how he became a DJ, his biggest influences, how he got his name, his favorite part of being a DJ, his favorite tracks from the West Coast and more! [more…]

Where are you from and how did you become a DJ?

I live in Los Angeles now but I’m from a small town: Hercules, CA (in the San Francisco Bay Area). Started learning how to mix music my senior year of high school. Can’t say I didn’t pay dues, it took a lot of work to get from high school parties to nightclubs, and everything else along the way.

What is the significance of your DJ name? How did you get it?

I changed my name less than two years ago actually. My old name was B-EZ (be easy) which was given to me from a friend whom past away; it was an honor to take that name and roll with it. Growing up and expanding my brand I decided to take my name as ‘Brandon Fox.’ I wanted to have a marketable name that wouldn’t limit my brand to only being a DJ.

Who are your top 5 biggest influences?

DJ AM – I know there are people before DJ AM who performed mashups (i.e.: GirlTalk), but DJ AM did it with flare. He made it not only cool to cross genres, but to still have turntablism and perform live (with mistakes included). He was the face to pave the way for many creative DJs pushing boundaries and not sticking to one lane. As far as music producers: Just Blaze, Kanye West, David Foster, Max Martin.

What is your favorite part about being a DJ?

It has been a passion of mine since I started; as long as I strive to be better, it gets better. Now days I really enjoy playing my music. As a new producer I find a new reward watching how far something can go and knowing it is a result of my hard work & creativity. Another thing that’s great is connecting with incredible talent. There’s nothing like collaborating with people you look up to.

What are some of your favorite tracks coming out of the West Coast right now?

The West Coast is hot in both Hip Hop and Electronic Dance, I’m really glad to see California artists becoming a force to reckon with. It’s so hard limit what and who to name when it comes to this category.. but here’s a few:

– Chris Brown – Came to Do << haha he’s basically LA now, right?

– Omarion, Jhene Aiko, Chris Brown – Post To Be

– Kool John & P-LO – Bitch I look Good

– IAMSU – Love My Squad

– Kehlani – FWU

– Eric Bellinger – 4 Digits

– Dillon Francis & Martin Garrix – Set Me Free

– Deorro vs MakJ – Ready

– Steve Aoki – Neon Future

What’s the one thing aside from music that you love the most?

Honestly I love spending time with my family. If you know me then you know how incredible my family is. We really take pride on how strong our bond is, and I would die for any one of them. I don’t get to see them as much as I would like but it means so much when we get that opportunity.

Where can people learn more about you?

People can learn more about me by following me on all social media outlets under @brandonthefox. Listen to my music HERE and visit my site HERE.

#YoungCalifornia Featured DJ: DJ Ingwell

Posted by Matthew Garner on August 15, 2014

Next up on #YoungCalifornia’s featured DJ list is DJ Ingwell from Los Angeles, California! Make sure you hit the jump to not only listen to his mixes, but also learn about how he became a DJ, his biggest influences, how he got his name, his favorite part of being a DJ, his favorite tracks from the West Coast and more! [more…]

Where are you from and how did you become a DJ?

Born and raised in Los Angeles, California. South Bay, Hawthorne area to be exact.

What is the significance of your DJ name? How did you get it?

I came up with the name DJ Ingwell in high school sort of as a joke lol. Get it?? DJ Ingwell, dj-ingwell, deejaying well. Then it just stuck with me. Some people get the name right away and some come back to me months later and say “haha, i finally get what your name means!” Yupp, thats how it goes most of the time.

Who are your top 5 biggest influences?

A-Trak, Laidback Luke, Diplo, Swizz Beats and Cam’ron

What is your favorite part about being a DJ?

Being able to share the love of music. And for me personally, being able to play and share my own music.

What are some of your favorite tracks coming out of the West Coast right now?

Anything produced by Mustard lol. But seriously on a more different type twerk/trap/hip hop tip, a producer named Saint based out Los Angeles just released a really sick EP. Really on the cutting edge of what I think is the fusion of the new West Coast “ratchet” sound with the new EDM trap/twerk sound. Oh yea, and can’t forget that new DJ Carisma “Anyway” of course! With a sick trap/twerk remix coming soon as well 😉

What’s the one thing aside from music that you love the most?

Cooking. I’m actually also currently pursuing my other dream of becoming an Iron Chef as well.

Where can people learn more about you?

People can learn more about me by following me on twitter @djingwell and on Facebook and Soundcloud!

Make sure you tune into Power 106 to catch DJ Ingwell in the jumpoff mix every week!
