So Rolex, how did your DJ name come about?

I was originally a hip hop turntablist until I discovered drum n bass which had the rolling basslines I was after.

When did Rolex come about?

In 2000

Was Rolex your only DJ name?

Was previously known as "Snickerz" (for hiphop) and at the start of my drum n bass career, "Critique"

Hows the drum and bass scene in Adelaide?

MASSIVE!!!

Really? When did this massive dnb scene take off?

I would have to say gradually after year 2000

Mad.
Even though we are hassling you for this interview whilst you are mixing, we notice your wearing gloves. Whys this?


Its Canberra, its fucken cold!

Ah you get used to it.
We see your mixing on Vestax PDX 2000 MKII, but know that your a Technics girl at heart. How you finding the Vestax?


Like Lego

But we like Lego. haha
Do you think female DJs bring anything unique to the table then male DJs?


No, it depends on the individual

Finally, any pointers for people wanting to take up mixing?

In reply to that, i think you should buy tracks that make you feel inspired and something you want to share with others. Take them on a journey and tell them a story.
Make the crowd feel good about coming out and seeing you
