DJ Hilti - Juke France Represent

Don't have to dig too deep to realize some of the best new Ghetto / Juke talent is on some France shit.. Say What? Curious, I thought I'd hit up DJ Hilti to answer some of my questions.


Philthkids:
What Kinda Music do you do?

Hilti:
Juke, Ghettotech, House, Hip Hop... Ghettobass music


Philthkids:
Being from France, how did you get into Juke/Ghettotech, is there a scene out there for that kind of music?

Hilti:
I discovered Juke music in 1998 through my local vinylshop who was already into Ghettohouse & Ghettotech since a while, then I continued to digg House & HipHop tracks but I was definitely sure that it was exactly my fav electronic music scene. I started my first mixes & demos... Memories lol!
In France there is a scene since many years, it started with Dirty Musik (label, djs/producers collectiv & party promoters), Jess & Crabbe, Goon & Koyotte & some other guys based essentially @ Paris, we were a few ones like me living in others lil towns but no real local scene (just my lab & me mofo! haha)
Now there is a bigger scene with more djs/producers & with different labels & different idendtities, sounds good for the future French scene : B.YRSLF division, Booty Call records, Snap records, Bros Before Hoes, etc...


Philthkids:
Which Ghetto/Booty/Juke artists doing it there over the years?

Hilti:
Dirty Muzik, Jess & Crabbe, Thomas Bangalter/Daft Punk, T.T.C, myself (I hope lol), Goon & Koyotte, Booty Call, B.YRSLF Division, Snap Records, Doan, K.S, Moveltrax ...


Philthkids:
Do you feel the Ghettotech scene is receptive to talent from overseas?

Hilti:
Dunno really, but i never thought about it, but I think they are into it since 2009/2010


Philthkids:
What European artists do you roll with? Ever play a show with Non Stop DJs?

Hilti:
No I never played a show with a Non Stop dj, in europe I work with Jess & Crabbe,


Philthkids:
In my opinion, Ghettotech is at a very interesting time, a massive rebirth and renewel, do you feel the same way?

Hilti:
Hell yeah exactly my opinion, it's a very exciting era, a new one, as always some dudes are excited, some others hate this evolution(s) & some others still trying to understand what's happened (I think I'm in the first & third cases loll)


Philthkids:
Have you ever been to Canada?

Hilti:
No, just through Roi Heenok, Terence & Philip, Celine Dion lolll just kidding, unfortunately I've never been to Canada but why not one day!


Philthkids:
What can we expect to hear from you in the future?

Hilti:
I hope more EASTSIDE CRACKIN' MUSIC!!!! (eastside of France, not Chicago ok peeps I'm french mofos lol !!!)
