DJto DJ:champion & Terror Danjah

Original grime pioneer and the UK’s leading light in the scene, TERROR DANJAH represents the very best in instrumental grime. Following his recent collaboration as Sons of Anarchy with Champion on Hyperdub Recordings, bringing over a decade of experience to Special Request we asked the two producers to interview each other… here’s the results.

Terror Danjah: What one record/track are you really into at the minute?

Champion: “There’s never really just one I’m into but if i had to pick, it would probably be Legitimate Scandal – Fu Gee La. That tracks full of bounce & bass, right up my street!”

TD: Your Four Tet remix is blowing up at the minute – how did that come about?
“It all happened quite quickly as it goes. I literally woke up to a DM on Twitter from Four Tet asking me to remix Kool FM!

C: Obviously I said ‘hell yeah’ because I was feeling the track anyway. The parts were sent over, I spent about two weeks on the mix & on the day I submitted it, he announced I was doing the official remix!”

TD: If you could collaborate with one UK artist who would it be?

C: “This answer changes all the time but I think I’d want to do the collaboration with SOHN, the ideas he comes up with are out of this world & would love to have some of that infused with my style.”

TD: What’s your ultimate post-rave track – one for when you’re home from the club and chilling…?

C: “So many to choose from but it would probably be a slow jam lol. If i had to say one track i’ve consistently played over the years, it’s Co-Ed – Roll With Me or Usher – That’s What It’s Made For.”

TD: If you weren’t doing music, what would you be a Champion at?

“I’d be either a software developer or a hacker, definitely. I done it in College & loved it but it was always number two to my music.”
