Locals: Gordon Flash Interview

Where can we find your music?

Not producing myself, I am concentrated on a label I am running, Solid Tracks Records, where I enjoy enabling artists to release and push their music.

Who are you? How old are you?

I’m Gordon and I’m 43 years old

What is your stage name?

Gordon Flash

How many months/ years have you been Djing / producing?

I’ve been djing for the past 25 years

Why do you want to share your music?

Sharing music, in my own way, as a means for people to connect, have fun and learn to appreciate music would be the main reasons

Mention an artist that inspired you to become a DJ/producer?

Rather than a particular artist, it’s the love toward artists expressing themselves in their own way, is that inspired me to start and continues to do so till today. I never really had a ‘role model’ DJ, although I do remember listening repeatedly to a Sven Vath mixtape around ’93

Is there a local artist that you look up to and love to see play at events?

Being an artist who likes to meander across house, techno, and more, I always appreciate more DJs who like to transition between genres when playing. Sean Rickett is one such DJ and is always a pleasure to hear. There is a good crop of younger DJs coming up, especially in the techno scene, driven by a genuine love for the music and the craft.
