Alright, South by South West 2013, DJ Jimmy Chunga here with my good man Sir Michael Rocks.
How are you man? I'm good man, how you feeling today?
I'm pretty good, it's hot. It's hot, it's actually a nice day for Austin
man. It's usually either hellishly hot or I've been here and it's been cold!
How many times have you been to Austin? A million man, I've been to Austin about a
million times man. I really like coming here. Every time I come here they show a lot of
love and it's one of my first cities that I sold out a show at man so I'll always have
love for Austin man. Ok alright, so this is... how many South by
South West's have you been to? 07 was my first South by and I've been every
year since then. Oh wow!
Six years better and now you know. Damn!
I've been coming for a while. I was at South by before it was really big like this. I remember
South by was really indie, real dirty, real like grass roots, a lot of shows in the dirty
bars, it was fun then too man. So do you like it this way better or do you
like it the way was back in 07 better? I miss like the old like small knit community
that it used to be but it's great to see South by grow as big as it did and get as much exposure
as it did man. It's a good event, it's a good week of good music, good people, good fashion
and food man, the parties are dope like, it's good to see South by expand like this.
So tell us about your sets this year. How are they different from the past sets you've
done at South by? Let me tell you about the set I did last night.
It was crazy. I went on after Mystical from No Limit, you remember Mystical?
Wow, yeah! This was one of his first shows since being
back out so it was nuts. He did all the hits, he did everything you could have wanted him
to do, he's still an amazing performer. He's still tearing up the stage like it's the 90's
man! Was that the highlight for you this year?
That was the highlight for sure! I went on after him, I got on the mic and I'm like I
don't know why, I don't know why you put me behind Mystical but you know it is what it
is! We still tore it up though! We held our own!
How hyped was it? Was everybody sticking around and off the chain?
Yeah it was off the chain man. He's still got it man, he's still a great performer man,
he's still just a really magnetic dude. I talked to him backstage for a while, he's
a real chilled, real nice guy and I was just glad to be in a room with him!
Alright, now listen we want to educate people. We want to bring people up on what you're
