BEN KELLY INTERVIEW

how long have you been djing?
Long enough to say that Prime Minister Keating was still in power when I bought my first record.

what made you want to dj?
The lifestyle of free booze, drugs, cheap women, expensive cars & fat pay cheques drew me to the DJ world like a fat kid to candy. I should have taken up the guitar instead...

where do you dj?
Moulin Rouge (Syd) candy's Apartment (Syd) Le Panic (Syd) Yu (Syd) Home Nightclub (Syd) GPO (Bris) Quest (Gold Coast) Limelite (Pth)

favourite track of all time and fave track of the moment?
Hmm.. my favourite all time house track would be Morey Khante - Yekke Yekke, my favourite at the moment would be Hit Girl by Sebastian Leger. I'll have a new favourite tune next week.

DJ Ben Kelly
where would we find you on a weekend off?
A weekend off? Whets that? If I should be so luck you would find me riding my motorcycle, at the beach, in a fine restaurant, locked up writing music, visiting old friends

what is your worst or funniest memory from a night at work?
I can't think of a funny thing right off the top of my head although something kinds funny/gross happened while a mate was DJing at Home nightclub a few years back. There was this girl in the club who was completely wasted and obviously didn't know where she was or what she was doing because she opened the door to the DJ booth, pulled down her pants & shit all over floor. I'm not lying!!! I swear to God the crowd dispersed like it was like Moses parting the sea as she was escorted out of the club by her mate.

favourite drink?
Vodka & [insert mixer]

favourite music festival?
I think the Future Music festival has the most appealing international line up this season. To be honest I think most of the touring DJ's this season have been safe choices.

who makes you nervous?
You do, what's with all the questions?

new york slice or mcdonalds?
New York Slice. Is that the place up on Brunswick St? If so, it helped me through a bad hangover last time I was in Brisbane.

neighbours or home and away?
I'd rather bead my head against a brick wall than watch that rubbish

teenage mutant ninja turtles or samurai pizza cats?
umm.. what?

tell me something I don't already know about you.
I once played a small but critically acclaimed role in a Broadway musical

last quote?

If you can't be good, be good at it!
