It's that time once again. Today our featured artist comes form Chicago, Illinois, and is none other than Jason Jimenez, a.k.a DJ Blenn. This DJ had a start in 2006 and to this date he is still rocking parties. At 17 years old he has gotten a good grip on the craft and is able to play various genres such as house, hip-hop, latin, and much more. Like all of our featured artists we asked DJ Blenn a couple of questions. 


Q & A

Who gave you that initial push?
"My father. He was becoming a DJ but work got in his way so i took over"

Where did the name come from?
"Honestly, no clue. But maybe since i was going to use BLEND.... But it was such a common word to me so i just sticked to BLENN"

Influences?
"Dj Bam Bam, Bad Boy Bill, Dj Qbert, My Dad, Alex Peace, Dj Klowntek, Poogie Bear, Dj Spinn, Dj Clent, [and a] Shitload of Chicago djs"

CDJs or vinyl? Why?
"I use CDJs. Only because thats what i was raised on. Other than that, I'd f**king kill to own a pair of Technic 1210's. But both are beautiful"

Funniest thing that ever happened at an event?
"Already 10 minutes into the party, a couple go into the bathroom and f**k. How cute..."

Out of all the tunes you have, which one never fails?
'Moombah (Afrojack Remix)"

What's your personal favorite song of all time?
"Deadmau5-Brazil"

Any sort of rituals you do before of after an event?
"Not really, i just talk to myself. 'Just don't f**k up or ill kick you ass!' lol"

In your eyes, how is the music scene and where is it headed?
"The music scene is doing pretty decent. I'm happy now that regular people are into EDM. But I hope it doesn't become a trend where you just listen to it just ti fit in."

Advice for up and coming DJs?
"Search for skills instead of fame first. Ive seen TOOOOOO MANY "djs" that just want to be cocky and say that they are a dj when they don't even know what the f**k BPM stands for"

What do you do outside the music scene?
"Sleep, eat, s#!t, & did i mention sleep?"

Anything else you would like to say? Any Shouts?
"I do get a bit jealous when other djs are doing better than me. But f**k it, my time will come.
