MC Gav B - Profile & Interivew

So how did it all begin?
It all began after hearing the hardcore beat for the first time, one word, HOOKED!

Where did the name come from?
MC Gav B is my first name and initial of my last, boring, but original ;)

What gave you that initial push?
After going to my first rave at SPACE, seeing the emcee for the first time was enough!

Who’s throwing the best parties at the moment?
Too many to mention!

What was the first event you ever played at/put on?
First event I performed at was Vibealite 10th Birthday @ the massive Leicester University! and the first rave I put on was called Futurevibe Teens

What’s the best event you’ve played at/put on?
Hmm, there's been that many that I cant nail it down to one, a lot stand out, my 2 biggest ones would be any Vibealite 10th birthday, and hardcore heaven weekender 2008*

What's you favourite tune of all time?
Dougal & Gammer - Don't Stop - big tune!

When all the partying is over how do you like to chill out?
CINEMA! I'm all about the movies! also I'm a very social person so I love to be out and about, I'm also a trainee hair stylist ( straight I might add )

So how is the scene in your eyes at the moment?
Massive, a lot of bigger events are starting to take note of the more fresher DJS & MCS which is always a big ting!

What's is your real name if you use an alias and how old are you?
My real name is Gavin Brook and I'm 23 :)

Where do you live?
Huddersfield

Funniest thing that ever happened at an event?
Seeing some girls boobs pop out when she was dancing :) - fair play love!

Other DJs you rate?
Mash Up, Mouse, Cosmic, Shauny C, Double o Steadman, Stylus & Audio Junkie, Clipper, there's millions, but I gotta big up my boys!

What are your feelings on the MC's?
I love em all, anyone that does this job can tell you its hard work, commitment and tiring!

What do you do outside of the dance music scene?
I work @ a salon in Huddersfield called Rubens on a work placement, and I'm at college doing my NVQ level 2 in hair dressing

What advice would you give to up and coming DJs/Promoters?
Keep it real, work hard, then work harder!! all good things come to those who wait

When you play is this pre planned set?
nah I never pre plan, too many things can change during the set, plus been an emcee I don't know what the DJ is going to drop, where he's going to drop the mix? or what tunes will have vocals in, part of my job is to learn the new tunes outside of the rave so i have a rough idea of what's going to happen! ... of course it never works like that and some DJS will always drop a track I've never heard off , some imported stuff.. haha

Anything else you want to say? Any shouts?
Shouts to the crew at Fantazia first of all for the interview!, Gary & Paul @ Vibealite, Ajay @ Krafty, all my family, friends and the hardcore masses!

If you could stage a rave anywhere, where would you choose?
Buckingham Palace, the queens bedroom, but that's after I've rolled around in her bed NAKID!!

How do you see the scene 5 years from now?
Bigger, and if big events keep pushing the new talent, then there's no stopping! the scene will keep evolving and that's what its all about!

If you had a time machine what year would you go back to and why?
5 minutes before i did this interview so i could plan it and make it more interesting ;)

KnightRider or A-team?
A Team, come on! I pitty the fool that chooses knight rider, i pitty the fool!!*

Any shouts you would like to make?
Everyone that knows and supports me, and all the masses out there supporting the scene, keep up the good work! SHABBA!!
