I took the time earlier tonight to interview Mark Marcelo of Mindz Alike who will be realeasing his new mixtape entitled "Scrunchies & Headbands"...which is now available at djmarkmarcelo.com
JULZ- name and where are you from?
MARK-mark, union city/san francisco, male, 5'10"
JULZ-how long have you been dj'ing for?
MARK- 10 years and counting
(this is like a test)
JULZ- hahaha..don't worry it's not
MARK- then why am i nervous? you're a horrible interviewer, julz
JULZ- i know, i'm a better dancer
MARK- when was the last time you approached a girl to dance with her?
JULZ- no comment
JULZ- ok, if you could listen to any dj spin live...who would it be and why?
MARK-i got it...
MARK-i just had to think
MARK-i would want to see the o.g. bay area mobile dj crews rock it like spintronix, ultmate creations, or the go-gos
MARK-they set the groundwork to how i dj in ways i dont even know how.
JULZ-good answer...i like that
JULZ-how did you get involved with mindz alike?
MARK-doing house parties, i would run into member like j-time on the regular
MARK-but it didn't really jump off until jt's summer of 2006 (r.i.p. jt's wednesdays)
JULZ-speaking of jt’s…best jt’s moment on a Wednesday night?
MARK-jt's helped make a gorgeous baby girl named isabella
JULZ- awwwww...i love baby izzy
MARK- but also that time homie got caught peeing on the fence and got called out to hose down the patio after closing hours.
JULZ-oh yes, good ol drunken times on a wednesday night
MARK-after that night... the security guards of jt's were gods.
MARK-another good jt's moment was whenever guys danced with girls.
JULZ-hahaha.....explain a lil to those who don't what you mean
MARK-i guess it was in style for guys to dance with each other after the hyphy movement which i'm totally cool with.
MARK-in fact, julz would dance with guys even without hyphy music.
JULZ-ok we're gonna leave that out
MARK-...say... to a madonna song, right said fred, or gerado.
JULZ-tony of the wildboyz claims that you're the sexiest dj alive....who's 2nd?
MARK-shannyn sassoman is the sexiest dj alive
MARK-with howard stern as 2nd.
JULZ-ok ok, she is the sexiest dj alive....but who in MINDZ ALIKE is the sexiest????
JULZ-and best dressed???
MARK-julz's dad
JULZ-GREAT ANSWER!
JULZ-i'll be sure to let him know
JULZ-so how did scrunchies and headbands come along?
MARK-it was originally a mix done simply for the enjoyment of some really amazing homies (mostly homegirls... wassup!) who love this music and this era. the mix turned out good so we had to share it with everyone else.
MARK-but i admit that i have no personal experience to ever wearing a scrunchie or a headband.
JULZ-neither do i......well not that i remember
MARK-you dont even wear clothes.
MARK- (footnote: house of blues july 3)
JULZ-what a night huh???!!!
MARK-to say the least.
MARK-you had less clothes on than the go-go dancers next to you.
JULZ-yea that was my alter ego...i told people he would come out again
JULZ-bay or SD?
MARK-Bay
JULZ-hyphy or crunk?
MARK-Crunk
MARK-...though hyphy juice tasted way better than crunk juice....but crunk juice had ashwaganda and horny goat wheat.
JULZ-puff daddy or diddy?
MARK-puff daddy
MARK-mase, jodeci, swv.... come on.
MARK-...mase!
JULZ-vans or pumas?
MARK-hmm
MARK-sperry topsiders.
JULZ-tiesto or paul oakenfold?
MARK-there can only be one greatest dj in the world ...tiesto.
MARK-he fucking does magic tricks and escape stunts in the middle of his sets!
JULZ-any future projects in the works right now?
MARK-i've already started the next mix.
JULZ-care to give us some dirt on it?
MARK-i'm going to keep most of it a surprise.
MARK-but if anybody knows my dj'ing, this fits right into my style very well.
JULZ-ahhhh i see....pure hot fire like dylan, dylan...dylan..dylan and dylan
MARK-does anybody miss Da Band?
JULZ-ummm i kinda miss choppa style
JULZ-and the cheese cake
MARK-choppa now goes under the name "young city"
JULZ-thanks for clarifying that, the people needed to know that
JULZ-now our world can continue
JULZ-last question......if you could kick out one person in mindz alike, who would it be?
MARK-no one!
JULZ-damn it...i was hoping you were gonna say oliver...but that answer is legit!..thank you!
MARK-no, julz.
MARK-thank you for keeping your shirt on.
MARK-but wear socks next time. thanks.
