Interviews
It has been a long time since we at TastyFresh were able to sit down with Andy Hunter and have a bit of a chat about what he has been up to. Last time we found him, he had just finished up his latest album Colour and scored the soundtrack for Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed with Robbie Bronnimann. This time around he has just released his new EP entitled Collide after spending several months touring in South America. Andy was kind enough to take some time away from his busy schedule to give us an update and answer some questions. So take a read!

It is my honor to interview Colin and Justin Moreh, better known as the Progressive House icons Shiloh. They have been a part of the Tastyfresh community since it’s inception, and over the years they have become my favorite artists. Not only are they professional DJs and Producers, but they are some of the nicest guys you could ever meet.
This week’s spotlight is with Gospel House DJ, Frankie Vibe. My husband and I have had multiple opportunities to spend time with Frankie and I’m being honest in saying that he’s one of the most interactive, entertaining DJs I’ve ever known. I hope you enjoy this look into the man behind the speakers!
This week I’m excited to introduce you to Kevin Oneel from Birmingham, Alabama. He’s great guy with a great vision and (not to mention) a great live radio show Friday nights on boost.fm!
This week I have the privilege of sharing my interview with Vancouver’s Joel Armstrong. I’ve known Joel for a few years now and have always enjoyed his music. I hope you will too!
I’m extremely excited to introduce you to one of my favorite artists, who I just happen to be friends with! Meet Fitzpatrick from Birmingham, Alabama.
This week I had the privledge of interviewing someone I met this summer, DJ Modulation from Arizona. I really enjoy his music and think that you will too. So here we go, an inside spotlight on a great Christian DJ.
TF: How did you get involved in electronic music?
I discovered synthesizers by way of Depeche Mode and New Order, after moving and living in the US for a couple of years. I had already been playing piano since the age of four, and had already been composing. I got heavily involved with synthesis after that. I started DJing when I was about 13, after seeing a couple of my Uncles mix at a family reunion. It all just kind of came together into one big musical pot for me. As far as house and techno, my older cousin Wayne, was DJing in college in New York and sent me a mix tape one summer. It was him DJing at a college radio station, with early house and techno; Todd Terry, Transmat stuff, etc… I was hooked.
Alex Bedwell headlined on Wednesday night playing progressive house. It was an amazing set. We were able to sit down with him a few days later to chat about his set, his music and his label, Pastdeux Music.
TF: So how was headlining this year?
Time one. 45 minutes compared to 2 hours. Also when you are animated as I am, that tends to wear you down. I love to dance, jump up and down and yell. My music selection was very different. I thought I brought enough music but 2 hours ate up more than I thought. I will greatly diversify my music when I play out from now on. It was a lesson to have to play what I was going to play after the last DJ.
TF: You weren't booked to play at Afterhours. How did you manage to get to play this year?
It is actually a pretty long story. But basically I was planning on coming and just playing for the Gospel for Asia stage. So I had my gear and everything and was sort of prepared to play. I was planning on playing a hard hitting electro set. When Dave Richards and the Birmingham crew picked me up from the airport in Peoria, I asked them how Justin was doing and if they had figured out who was going to play. That’s when they told me that they wanted me to open for Alex Bedwell. I was pretty amazed. It was bittersweet though, since the only reason I was able to play was because Justin had emergency surgery. I was excited to play, but saddened because of how it happened.
