this will have been covered, but it's a cool topic that i like speaking, so i'm going too answer anyway
What equipment do you use?
Currently, i have a cheapy stanton mixer, 3 channel, does the job for 2 channel mixing, 3 channel is a bit of an effort, but i've made it work.
I have 2 Pioneer CDJ200's (not 2000s) and 2 Stanton t.150 turntables
Any planned equipment upgrades/changes?
Mixer is definitely in schedule too get an upgrade, got a few idea's in mind, so it will happen in due time.
I want too have 4 CDJ's just because i do enjoy mixing cd's, but if i'm mixing CD's i want too be seen as someone who has taken extra time too hone my craft, nothing serious against DJ's who just use 2 CDJ's, it's just a personal thing, i'd also genuinely upgrade from CDJ200's because i want the scratch feature so i can actually reload tunes and have it sound better than it currently does.
Needles on my turntables, but that's about it, maybe get a 3rd-4th in the distant future, not at all a priority, but a passion of sorts.
What songs are you rinsing lately?
On my CDJ's, i've always found myself mixing a lot of 4x4/dancey tunes recently.. some tunes..
Dismantle - Computation+VIP/Word Dance/Detonate/Witch/Dots/Warp/Clone
Farkas - Tribal Dance
Giant - Punani
Zinc - Nexx
Redlight - Source 16
On Vinyl;
Coki - Marduk
Coki - Duppy Soursop
Compa - Dem A Talk
Coki - Goblin
Mala - Changes
Mensah - The Trailing Moons Of Saturn
those tracks almost always find themselves in a mix.
Have you DJed any large events?
Not yet, i can confidently say i'm ready to mix live, definitely CDJ, Vinyl i would be confident in going up in front of a crowd, but there might be a slight mistake or so.
I do plan to start doing clubs and stuff soon, but it's not a major priority in my life right at the moment
What other DJ's have you worked alongside, and who was your favorite to work with?
I know a few DJs in my area, but worked with none.
What is your most memorable experience?
With my lack of live experience i can only really say when i finally picked up solid beat-matching on vinyl, definitely a skill, not as much skill required on CDJ's (but it is still required, and takes time)
Do you produce in addition to DJ, or does producing take a front seat to playing out?
I've been producing for about 3-4 years now, it does take the front seat, more-so because i work generally 6 days a week, 10-12 hour days, so my time to myself is usually early hours of the morning, hard to enjoy mixing at 5db, so i produce
If you do produce, does the dance respond favorably to your tracks?
as stated above, not hit the clubs yet, but i'm always showing mates my dubs, and generally the response is getting better with time
Do you mix in key?
Sometimes, i know what harmonic mixing is, and went through a phase where i refused too mix anything that didn't fit harmonically, but i also think that mixing harmonically, whilst sounding good for the ears, tune selection takes a priority, especially if the dance isn't moving and your stuck in a key that really doesn't have much too offer the dance
Do you DJ any other genres besides dubstep?
i always enjoy mixing it up, not really doing full sets of other genres, but i like experimenting with tracks around 130-150 and mixing them into sets.
i do have big love for the sound Om Unit/Cosmic Bridge pushes, these days i tend too spend at least half of my time mixing, mixing this sound.
