Name: Ollie Fosdike
Show: Lo Fi Hi Fi
When are you on?
From 6pm to 8pm every other Thursday.
What type of music can we expect to hear on your show?
Techno, electro, punk, indie electro, underground, old and new with a vibrant style.
How did you discover this music?
When I was about nine or 10 I listened to the top 40 and I just progressed through. As more people lent me CDs and stuff I progressed more and more into more alternative indie electro music. I found it that way really.
How long have you been DJ’ing?
About two years.
How did you start DJ’ing?
We run a club night at the Cavern called Lo Fi Hi Fi and we heard bout Phonic FM setting up and went to the meetings. They wanted more people doing club nights and guitar based music and gave us a show.
Can we find DJ’ing anywhere other than on Phonic FM?
Yeah I play at Lo Fi Hi Fi nights at the Cavern.
What was has been your most embarrassing DJ’ing moment?
Any time I’ve accidentally cut off the sound, it happened a few times.
What has been your best DJ’ing moment?
Once some world champion break-dancers from Korea came down came down as part of the Vibraphonic festival. They came into the cavern after their show and we had loads of people break-dancing in the Cavern, it was amazing.
Who is your favourite artist?
At the moment I’m listening to Sunshine Underground and Die! Die! Die! They change quite a lot. I’m quite into my new music, unsigned band that kind of thing.
What is you all time favourite album?
The Die! Die! Die! Debut album called Die! Die! Die!
Where do you shop for music?
I like Oxfam record shops, general CD places and online, anywhere really.
