DJ Format chats to ilikemusic.com

Format's signature b-boy instrumentals, downtempo sketches and body rocking backdrops work seamlessly and, like few others, he retains a knack of simultaneously infiltrating the tastes of people who don't normally give hip hop a second thought, while turning the most hardened crate spotting freak into a salivating mess. Quite a feat.

We caught up with Format at his London studio preparing for a digging trip to Switzerland and sorting out his set for Wakestock ...

"I like music because… I was never going to make it as a footballer." DJ FORMAT

ilm: Your single, Separated At Birth is out now. Great track - can you give us your own personal description of its whole vibe?

FORMAT: Yeah, without wanting to bring myself too much inline for biting someone else's style, I've gotta say, it was very much a nod back to the Beastie Boys in their heyday. I had already done 3 Feet Deep with Abdominal and D-Sisive and I was really happy with how it turned out. And I already had the music to Seperated At Birth that I'd done a while ago knocking about and wasn't really a finished piece of music yet and thought hey, that would really be reminisent of something between 'Paul's Boutique' and 'Check Your Head' when the Beastie Boys were really messing around with breaks and kind of rock stuff, so I guess I was going in more of a slightly funky rocky direction.
