The Fader Effect

Mahesh has been DJ'in since the age of 15 and did his first major Nightclub gig at the age of 16 and also presented his own radio show at that age. A member of numerous DJ crews, Fader has allegedly played at clubs all over the UK and last year opened up for westcoast rapper The Game during his UK tour. He has also played alongside "The Alchemist" (American producer and also Eminem's official tour DJ), apart from spinning at venues in Europe and the US.

I wouldnt say that Hip Hop in the UK is dead, infact it's healthier than ever, but with genres like UK Funky House and Dubstep really coming to the forefront of the clubbing culture, to find a pure Hip Hop (and by that i mean the real true school hip hop, not that 50 Cent and Soulja Boy stuff) night is few and far between… Don't get me wrong, I myself play UK funky house and dubstep and i love a bit of 50 and Soulja Boy, but that true element of Hip Hop seems to be missing. For instance, Hip Hop Hijack Live at Enigma, one of the events by Laffin Gas Inc., that I checked out, is what i feel Hip Hop is all about….. It was just pure energy, with all the live acts, from the rappers, the band, the beatboxer, the dancers to the DJ's all doing their bit and bringing their vibe as individuals and as a collective and feeding the crowd all that energy was amazing, and to be part of this groundbreaking event was truly an honour and a blessing.
