Interview with James Zabiela ( 30.08.2008 - 22:10 GMT UTC )
1. Ok hello James, how are you ?
James Zabiela: I'm good... tired.
2. How was the flight ?
James Zabiela: I slept because I came from Spain. I played in Barcelona last night, and then I flew back to London.
3. Is it your first time in Russia ?
James Zabiela: No, no. I was here a few weeks ago. I played in Moscow. It's good.
4. How can you characterize the Russian public, Russian fathers ?
James Zabiela: Well how can I characterize them? Uh I don't know. I mean... enthusiastic, open minded, and they are the best two things that you can get from any crowd I think. People that want to listen to new music and are out to have a good time.
5. You are a resident of Global Gathering aren't you ?
James Zabiela: Uh, not really a resident but I play for them sometimes. I played in the UK last time, last weekend.
6. Global Gathering is a freedom festival, what is it for you ?
James Zabiela: It's one of the first festivals I have played at as a DJ, so it's nice to still be able to do it many years later. In the UK I think it's very different, the Global Gathering to what it would be here.
7. When you are working many DJ's stand behind you and observe how you are playing. Do you feel the pressure and what do you think about it ?
James Zabiela: Haha, yes I do feel the pressure. It's kind of strange... yea I don't know, it's kind of weird. Yea but you know I have watched and learned from other people as well.
8. Could you tell us some interesting facts of your career of DJing, may be humorous moments or something ?
James Zabiela: Oh I don't know. I don't drink very much. I never drink alcohol when I am DJing... never, so sometimes on a night off I will. I played at Coachella Festival in Los Angeles. I was there for two days so I DJ one day, and the next day I stayed to enjoy myself... and I was sick all over Sasha and John Digweed's brand new tour bus. I'm not used to drinking, so that's something I am not proud of.
9. Tell me something about your private life, your family, how do you like to rest ?
James Zabiela: I have got friends at home to hang out with. I have a new girlfriend for 3 months. At the moment well see how it goes. I just like hang out with my friends really and do normal things.. watch TV, play some video games.
10. What games do you like to play ?
James Zabiela: I like Halo 3, Gears of War, and you know the Wii ? Wii Tennis. I just got the new iPhone. It's cool. It's got Super Monkey Ball.
Vladimir: iPhone in Russia.. it's not out there.
James Zabiela: It's not out, eh you will get it.
Vladimir: This is my phone.
James Zabiela: They are in the UK now. Oh cool! You should check out my laptop. I got a new keyboard.
