NAME: James Scade

DJ NAME & WHERE DID IT COME FROM?: ScadeE. Pretty self explanatory everyone called me scadey for years and thought it would confuse to change it so instead added a ‘E’ on the end for urm various reasons J

WHAT STYLE OF MUSIC YOU PLAY: I love playing UK Hardcore but learnt some time ago that it’s not everyone’s cup of tea. The answer is a bit of everything but i’m particularly liking knocking out trance and electro atm.

CDJ'S OR VINYL WHAT SET UP DO YOU USE: After moving from my pitch wavering xl300’s that had a mind of there own, I’ve moved on to CDJ1000’s and a Denon dnx1500, I really miss the feel of vinyl though so gonna be investing in some 1210’s soon as well.

HOW BIG IS YOUR COLLECTION: I don’t actually have a clue my vinyl collection is about 300 tunes strong, I’m not even going to bother trying to figure out the amount of tunes I have on cd and mp3 but its into the 1000’s for sure.

HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN DJING: I got my first set of decks when i was 13 then left them to get dusty for a couple o years then decided to get back into it properly, I got my CDJ’s about a year ago now and have no intention of taking anymore breaks from it.

HAVE YOU ALWAYS BEEN MUSICALLY INFLUENCED: Yeah defo I’ve always preferred to sit and listen to a mix than watch TV when I’m chilling. When I was about 10 I remember thinking to myself what a dull place the world would be without music. The second cd I ever bought was trance nation mixed by Ferry Corsten which got me completely hooked on dance music.

WHY DID YOU START DJING / INSPIRATION, WHAT GAVE YOU THE INITIAL PUSH: In my second year at school they started offering free mixing and production workshops called Rythmix. I decided to apply and went on a day intensive course, got hooked & ran home promising everything under the sun to my parents if they bought me my first set of decks for Christmas, they did and I attended another 10 week course ran by the same people. I’d love to meet the guys who taught me again, two proper chilled out guys who were teaching kids for f all just because of their love for what they did.

WHO ARE YOUR FAVOURITE DJ'S: I could go on forever here but I think my top 3 have got to be: Joey Riot (true showman), Cally&Juice (scratching with your feet wtf!), James Zambiela (developing turntablism with cdj's)

TOP 3 FAVOURITE TUNES OFF ALL TIME: Dj GRH, MDA & Spherical - Illusion, Energy 52 – Cafe del Mar, Liquid – Sweet Harmony

WHAT WAS THE FIRST TUNE YOU EVER BROUGHT: Ian van Dahl – Castles in the sky lol that was fantastically cheesy.

OUT OF ALL OF YOUR TUNES, WHICH ONE "NEVER FAILS" : Cafe del Mar – almost everyone knows it, the main drop gets everyone buzzing and you can use it as a build up or to slow a set down or finish or start one, never fails cracking tune.

DO YOU PRE PLAN YOUR SETS OR PLAY FOR THE CROWD: Bit of both I’m always working out what tunes go together but I think it’s important to check peoples reaction every tune you bring in then judge what you bring in next accordingly.

WHERE HAVE YOU PLAYED: Apart from mates parties the Goldies was my first time playing out.

IF YOU COULD PLAY ANYWHERE WHERE WOULD IT BE: Hardcore Heaven

WHAT ADVICE WOULD YOU GIVE TO UP AND COMING DJS: I still see myself as up and coming but I would say you just have to stick at it and be in it for the love of music rather than anything else.

HOW DO YOU SEE THE MUSIC SCENE IN 5 YEARS AND WHERE DO YOU SEE YOURSELF IN IT: It might just be that I’m moving in different circles now but dance music seems to be on a real rise at the mo RnB is slowly disappearing from your average bars and clubs and is been replaced with funky house and electro. If for some reason the Government decide to start limiting noise levels in clubs etc I can see the whole scene moving into fields and warehouses again. In 5 years I would like to be promoting more of my own events and playing in Clubs. I also want to start producing my own material, I would hope 5 years is enough to release a few tunes.

ANYTHING ELSE? ANY SHOUTS? ... Yeah.... My Folks for putting up with the noise for a whole 7 years before they decided enough was enough, My lovely girlfriend Chan for encouraging me and generally putting up with me, Subcafe Stu, all my mates and Naughty&everyone involved for giving me a chance on Radioactive.

IF YOU HAD A TIME MACHINE WHAT YEAR WOULD YOU GO TO AND WHY: 1992 when Fantazia were at Castle Donnington that looked like a proper party - if only I had been old enough...

IF YOU COULD DO OR BE ANYTHING ELSE WHAT WOULD IT BE: Club owner that said the top gear boys do have pretty mad jobs.

WHEN YOU WERE 12 WHAT DID YOU WANT TO BE WHEN YOU GREW UP: DJ lol

IF I CAME TO YOUR HOUSE AND WENT IN YOUR FRIDGE WHAT WOULD I FIND: Beer and coffee i leave the rest of the fridge well alone as my ‘landlady’ cooks for everyone touch 

6 ITEMS YOU COULDNT LIVE WITHOUT: My Decks, Mixer, Vinyl collection, Laptop, Mobile and Mountain Bike.

AND FINALLY....... WHY SHOULD WE LISTEN TO YOU PLAY: Because I love mixing and sharing the music I like with anyone who cares to listen plus I can make up for the crap I chat normally when I’m mixing!
