“If you aren’t dancing, I’m not doing my job”, says DJ Whatt (aka DOSVEC) on his official Twitter page. I think it’s safe to say at first listen to his new album “Glimpses” – dropping today – he has you at first beat!
Positively Celebrity got an exclusive interview with the producer/dj extraordinaire to talk about the new album, his music, and what inspires him to make such bad-ass beats.
What made you want to get into music?
It was a passion that became my career.
How did you get your start as a DJ?
I started DJing at Patricks in Tampa, FL
How would you describe your sound?
As DJ Whatt it’s a very party-break electronic sound – As DOSVEC it’s mashups that cover a wide range of production.
What’s your favorite venue?
Industrial Copera, Granada Spain – The place is just NUTS!
Who are some of your favorite DJ’s and why? Musical artists?
GrandMaster Flash <— Pioneer. Music? Give me some old school hip-hop
What’s been the best part about being a DJ? Worst?
Best – Travel. Worst – Fake people ;-(
Best moment in your career so far?
Getting to perform as DOSVEC in Costa Rica, since I am 1st generation American BUT 100% Costa Rican heritage.
Where do you see yourself in 5 years?
Happily married with a dog, couple of kids & a white picket fence ;-p
If you weren’t a DJ, what would you do?
Probably be an Attorney.
Tell us about Glimpses, dropping today (May 23).
Glimpses is an album that reflects a time span in my life in which I thought I was dating someone but in reality I just had another fan from a distance. We all deserve to be treated the way we treat others and it’s never a good thing when we give 100% but the other party doesn’t.
The songs in the album have individual meanings during the time I was with this person and the track listing is in chronological order during the time I was with her.
When I first meet you, you had me as a 1. “Twisted Boy” with the hopes of me saying 2. “Ooh Ahh, I am, Home”. As time passed by I really thought we were approaching 3. “Better Than Dog Days” since I felt we made it to the 4. “Otherside”. You mentioned how I spoil you by me 5. “Shining Down on Whatever You Like” and I did that thinking 6. “You Got The Love” that could 7. “Make Me Better”. I hoped the day would come when you would 8. “Touch My Bridge & Go” but as I waited for 9. “Delta 1406, to, Wake Up” from its delay. I wondered 10. “Where Had The Love Gone”? 11. “The Things You Can’t Get Enough” were obvious as I was the only one giving all I could & 12. “Just The Way You Are Not Alone” my 13. “Addiction” were the “GLIMPSES” you would give me to your true self. I don’t believe in 14. “ET” but I do know when 15. “Rolling In Life” nothing and I mean NOTHING will succeed if YOU don’t give 100%. We almost had it all if you would have let me 16. “Get It In Deep” to your mind, body and soul.
