DJ Daniel Skulnick Exclusive Interview for EDMDroid Asia

1. Please tell us and our readers more about the nightlife in The Philippines right now in times of Covid.

I’ve actually been pretty lucky as I’ve been playing quite a lot in one particular place. The rest of the Philippines is really suffering. I’ve only managed to play a handful of gigs outside of my resident position in the last two years.

2. How long have you been DJing and what can we expect next from DJ Daniel Skulnick?

I played my first gig when I was 16. That puts me at 30 amazing years now. I’m always looking at ways on how I can deliver a stronger performance. I will be experimenting this year with all sorts of different things to enhance it even further. I am looking at adding all sorts of musicians to my live sets. I’ve also been working hard on my first record.

3. What has been your best and your worst gig experience so far. Be honest please, don't hold back.

Such a hard question as I have so many fond memories of gigs. The last two halloweens at Aqua Beach Club have been amazing. They put up pretty big prize money for costumes and it’s always such an unforgettable night as the costumes are so extreme. It always sets the tone for an amazing atmosphere as you have all sorts of creatures marauding around. The New Years White Party’s are also awesome as they go full out on pyro and fireworks. I’m very lucky and don’t have many bad gig experiences in my memory bank. I suppose the worst I have suffered is showing up at a club as the headliner and there are like 3 people on the dance floor.

4. If you had to choose, which profession would you be going with? DJ or something else?

I definitely would be a DJ. Nothing brings me more peace to me than uniting a dance floor. Wish I could it full time.
