E-Interview: DJ Moni, the friend we love


I met Dj Moni at least 5 years ago (can't quite remember how long it's been). We were both and still are part of the Ubiquita Family of DJ's and promoters. Over the years she has become one of my favorite people. I guess she digs me too. How else could i explain her granting me this email interview...it's a lot easier to verbally answer my questions...

> -what has been you latest musical discovery; be it a song, live performance
or some epiphany of some kind?


I'm really loving Jose James' new project. It'll be coming out soon.
You can hear a few tracks here http://www.myspace.com/josejamesquartet

Nickel Eye is a band headed by Nikolai Fraiture, bassist of The
Strokes. When we heard Mark Ronson’s Brandy of the Damned remix with
Wale, I had to dig a little deeper and we struck gold. Not only do I
love the original BOtD version’s melodic bass, ska guitar riffs and
overall bounce, but the rest of the songs are moody, thought provoking
and quite charming.


> -I love your blog. What is the concept behind the “friends we love” brand?
>
Thanks Lovett! Friends We Love has taken over my life & that of my
partner Mike Vargas. It started as a conversation during lunch about
all the talented friends we have, many in common that we weren't even
aware of. I used to work in documentary production for a few years and
Mike has been a filmmaker for like 10 years but we both wanted to work
on projects that reflected our passions and those of our community.
Since we started we've produced 24 short documentaries with some of
our good friends, others, friends of friends, which have been seen in
over 100 countries. We're still self-funded but our love & belief in
our vision keeps us working as if we were making millions. I'm sure
the funding, sponsorship or production deal is right around the
corner!

> -For some years now, when you are not doing the solo thing, you have been
collaborating with two other great DJ’s (DJ Reborn and DJ Selly) under the
name Ladies of Ubiquita.

Why has that worked so well and how do you three complement each other?


We had a great run to say the least. Our love of music is so
expansive, inclusive but yet really soulful. We have our own
individual sound but together it was magic. Really wonderful.


> -In the past few months, it feels as if the world or at least our collective
consciousness is in the midst of a positive shift of change. Have you felt
it and how have you incorporated it into your music?


Yeah. I feel the positive shift of change =) My music has always been
feel-good when I spin out. I keep the depressing, moody stuff to
myself. We just have to be even more awake than before. They think
that we're placated and satisfied. This is when they pass legislation
that doesn't serve the greater purpose but rather only a select few
(bailout, FED powers).



> -Did you vote for Ron Paul?...lol, don’t answer that.

We should be chary and fussy in all the advice we give. We should be signally painstaking in giving opinion that we would not think of following ourselves. Most of all, we ought to refrain from giving recommendation which we don't mind when it damages those who take us at our word.

To be a good charitable being is to from a philanthropic of openness to the far-out, an gift to group aleatory things beyond your own control, that can take you to be shattered in uncommonly extreme circumstances pro which you were not to blame. That says something very outstanding about the get of the principled life: that it is based on a trust in the up in the air and on a willingness to be exposed; it's based on being more like a spy than like a treasure, something somewhat tenuous, but whose extremely particular attraction is inseparable from that fragility.
