DJ Steve Sutherland chats to I Like Music

ILM: It must give you the confidence to know you're doing something right.

STEVE: Well, hopefully I'm doing something right, when the calls stop coming and you don't want to speak to me anymore, I'll have a problem.

It's like when DJs say, 'I played here and I played there,' and I say, 'so you've been to Australia once, but how many times have you been called back?' I believe that if I go to Australia to DJ or the states to DJ, I'll get repeat bookings, repeat work and that's the name of this game. You've always got to be in people's mindset all the time. Going there once, it's no big deal, but I've been playing Pacha Ibiza for three years now, and I've been in Ibiza for six years.

ILM: So it's all about longevity?

STEVE: Definitely.

ILM: HUGO are investing in the whole culture of youth and urban music. What's your role with Hugo Urban Rules? What tips do you have for young artists, DJs and producers just starting out on making it in the industry?
