Q&A: Seth Troxler
Globe-conquering DJ, self- anointed underground spokesman, record label boss, internet meme and parent charmer. Meet the many faces of Seth Troxler
Ibiza and festival season is just about to really kick off. How do you feel about it now as the madness approaches?
I'm pretty afraid, actually! This year I'm sharing a building in Ibiza with Jackmaster, Skream and The Martinez Brothers. And it's all happened by accident! When I got to number one in the RA poll a couple of years ago, I felt more pressure for a little while and then I just thought, 'Ah, whatever, this is just stupid.' So I just got on with my job of playing good music to people. Now I just enjoy it. I take it a bit slower but I don't really feel any pressure now, which allows me to perform better.
Do you ever think about starting your own party in Ibiza?
Not at all. At DC10, I'm part of a family. I love it there. It's the best club in Ibiza. I get to play with all the people I want to play with and I get good set times. You don't really get paid that much there but it's not all about money. All these DJs come to DC10, get big and then leave – but I want to be the guy who stays. They've helped me tremendously. And does Ibiza really need another underground tech house night?
