ARTIST INTERVIEW: EDYCTED
21 September 2016
Tell us about yourself, why do you call yourself Edy Edycted?
I was born 1980 in Seremban City Rockers, Negeri Sembilan, Malaysia. I come from a village called Kampung Jiboi. Yes, I’m proud of it. People in my hometown called me Edy. It started when my family called me that name too. I cant remember why my family called me that name even though my full name doesn’t have any element of Edy. Yeah I like that name.
In late 90’s, I moved out from the village and stayed in Kuala Lumpur. That’s where the journey of my life begins. I’m getting addictive...Addicted to music, addicted to fashion, addicted to Rock and Roll and addicted to the love of my life (now my wife). Yes, I’m still addicted to her. ☺
In 1999, I start listening to electronic music. I started listening to dance music, falling in sync with an era veering towards electroclash. I listened to post rock, new wave, punk, ska, indie dance. I found myself dancing to electronic music on Malaysia's rave scene dancefloors. I started getting more involved in the local music scene since then and started off spinning at private sessions. Though I loved music, I never saw myself as a musician. So I also started to think about my DJ name. One of my friends, Jiman Casablancas is the one responsible for my ‘Edycted’s’ name. Maybe he has his opinion about the history of this name. Hahaha... and I love it! Thanks Jiman.
How did you begin Djing?
At that time electroclash invaded Kuala Lumpur. The Club Kids. Ethan Chu, one of my friends organised one party at Maison Club, Kuala Lumpur. He is the one who give me a chance to DJ in a club because he knows that I can spin. That’s my first gig in 2004. And I opened for the lead singer of one of Thailand’s band, FUTON. So that’s how my journey as a DJ began. I got a gig every week in the club. But I never had any residency.
Tell us about the time of ska and punk music for you?
I love the Clash. I love Joy Division. I love Cock Sparrer. I love The Special. I love Madness. I love skanking. I love to dance. ☺
What do you love about techno music now?
Now in techno music, I can see a lot of colours inside it. I think everything is already there. For me my colour is deeper and darker but still with a sexiness. I’m not interested in trends. So choose your techno properly. ☺
What does techno mean to you?
Love, anger, pain and loss into techno.
Describe the KL scene. Has it changed? How?
Nothing change.. still alive and kicking! But people’s change.
