📼 The Hectors Mixtape 📼
[THM021]
Joe (Cooked / NUTS)

1) Tell us about yourself….. 
I’m [Joe Newman] 20 years old from Edinburgh. Just finished my 3rd year at Napier and I’m part of the dj collective Cooked.

2) How did you get into music and DJing?
Ive always been in to many different genres since I was young. All I can remember is my dad showing me music like Gorillaz, Madness, Daft Punk and The Specials so my music taste has always been quite broad. 
Started getting into more electronic music as I left school, I remember seeing Jamie xx at T in the park and he basically broadened my horizons to listen to more dance music. 
I started to dj after a few mates I met at uni took over NUTS (Napier uni techno society) and ran a few nights. That and basically being a season ticket holder at Hectors inspired me and my flatmate Chico to buy a controller and start playing ourselves. 
We did some warm up gigs through NUTS and then eventually made our way up to closing nights. After getting the buzz of doing a closing set we wanted more so decided to branch out and start a night ourselves called Cooked, with our good mate Temps. We even managed to hit capacity at Sneaky's on our opening night. 

3) Who/what are your favourite DJs/producers/labels?
Right now I’d probably say my favourite Djs/producers are Big Miz and Kettama. Also a big fan of Mall Grab and all the tunes Steel City Dance Discs have been releasing recently. 

4) Tell us about your mix…..
I recorded this mix in Pirate Studios as my controller is currently broken cause I spilt drink on it :( 
I wanted to fill this mix with songs that I’m liking at the moment, throwing some summery house tunes in there. I finished it on an absolute stomper I seen Mano Le Tough play at AVA that absolutely changed my life. 

5) What are your future plans?
I’m just wanting to get out there and play as many parties as possible to be honest. Looking forward to planning more nights with Cooked and seeing how far we can take the brand. I’m also more than chuffed to be playing at Hectors, it’s gonna be mad after spending so many nights on the other side of the decks. 

6) Anything else you want to mention…..
Make sure you come see the Cooked boys play at Hector’s Crews Against Child Poverty fundraiser on the 30th of June. And 100% get yourself down to Hectors on the 10th of June for the Cooked beach party where me and the boys will be playing funky beats that’ll make you dance (www.facebook.com/events/182971985715770) x
