This time we would like to present another young
upcoming DJ from the underground of Denmark. He has been playing at most clubs
here and even promoted, successfully, underground house music in a small Danish
city where there seems to be no hope for electronic music. You have to keep an
eye on this guy for sure!
We asked him a couple of questions and here is the
result......
NWS: Tell us a bit about who
you are
A: My name is Marc Helt. I’m 22 years old and currently living in the northwest
area of Copenhagen. I work as a kindergarten teacher in innercity, when I’m not
playing in the weekends. Other than that I consider myself as a chilled out guy,
with fire coming out of my ass. I want something to happen all the time and
hate when time is standing still (except when I’m hungover, then it’s ok).
NWS: Normally you are playing
with your friend Mikkel as the act Marc & Mikkel. Please tell us about that
collaboration
A: Yeah that’s true. Mikkel and I have been playing together a few years now
and we’ve had so much fun! It has taken us strange places, introduced us to some
cool people, even got us friends for life. Mikkel is a dear friend of mine and
we have a really good understanding when we hit the decks. At the moment Mikkel
is in Thailand to shoot a tv-show and I miss him alot.
NWS: How does it feel when you
don't have to share the decks with anyone and you got them for yourself?
A: I haven’t really been playing so much alone, but I mean it’s fun, and it
pushes me into try finding my own personal style. This style i’m in a constant
search for, but even more when it’s just me playing. Sometimes it has happened
in the club, that we (Mikkel and I red.) have been arguing a bit about the next
track and stuff like that, and those discussions I have with myself now of
course hehe.
NWS: You are often on the line-up
on the infamous club dunkel in Copenhagen. What is your relationship to dunkel
and how has the place effected your DJ-career?
A: Dunkel. I play there in periods! I’ve tried playing there weekend after
weekend, but I also tried not playing there for a whole year. The place in
itself I like a lot. It has a cool barvibe – really intimate – so on good
nights it’s the bomb to play there. I have mostly played the closing hours in there,
actually once I played I fell asleep in the middle of a mix with a cigarette in
my mouth haha.
NWS: We did a mix a while ago
from Pitstop in Kolding for the cast. Please tell us about those parties!
A: Kolding!!!! 6000 slice town is where I’m born and raised. It’s a city in
the province and it doesn’t really have a lot to offer nightlife-wise, but
compared to the surrounding small cities we have a club there, which is not
fucked up by bad people and bad music, Pitstop that is. My friends Jonas Rotne
and Johan Høy and I we startet out a Thursday club, to have something funny to
do and also a base to listen to electronic music, which at the time, was quite
new to us. Apparently the clubnight grew big and we startet inviting our
friends from Copenhagen and put down a bit more serious line regarding to the
music. Over the years we threw 10 parties. The last party we had 600 people
there celebrating the good life, and we we’re SO happy. Though we decided to end
while the game was still fun!
NWS: What is the difference
between the parties you hosted in Kolding and the ones you play at or go to in Copenhagen?
A: I think in Copenhagen we could use some of the foolishness we had in Kolding,
in the club scene at least. Instead of thinking about big bookings all the time,
and a bit more about the fun and the love!! Some people can combine this of
course. I dunno it’s hard to say.
NWS: I noticed that you have
been playing in paris and in berlin too.. How was that? Have you something similar
upcoming?
A: As I mentioned to begin with.. Spinning records has brought me a lot of cool
friend relations also outside DK. Paris was at a friends house, really fucking
cool place his dad build. We had food and nice people and then I also got to
see a bit of paris. In Berlin it was at Statbad wedding, the same place they have
‘Boiler room’.. This place was sick!! I was there with Samuel, Mikkel and my
girlfriend Stephanie and had some cool days as always in Berlin, went to
panorama bar and had cheap beers!
I don’t really know what time has to offer me. A lot of friends have some
cool stuff going on. I think about crews like bunker bauer and c:u:p.. Others
are working on some new initiatives and I’m really looking forward to see what’s
coming from it.
NWS: Last but not least. Say a
few words about the mix you made for the cast.
A: When I’m
playing I never really plan out a mix and the same thing I did with this one. I
put on a record and then I’m mixing. Actually I’m not really comfortable around
recording mixes, but I’m working on it. I just love the vibe of the people when
I’m playing – that’s why I do it! This mix both has some old tunes and some
brand new ones, also some friends tracks are in there J I hope you like it. Peace!
