A quick Q&A with PK:
Have you been feelin’ the colly vibes or coke vibes in dubstep lately?
hahahah.. is that a real question!? Well… I must say, as much as I’m a collie man myself, it’s that banging hard nasty shit that got me into dubstep in the first place. But then again I def. have a place in my heart for that rollin bass smoked out shit as well…. i like it all.
Do you think the amalgamation of rap and dubstep is the future direction of the genre?
I think that it already is, And not just with hip hop/rap. One of my favorite things about dubstep as a genre is that it seems to encompass every style of music. Everything just seems to fit in there somehow, and I think it will continue to morph and shape into new dimensions & styles.
How big do you see dubstep becoming in the world of electronic music, or music in general?
It’s def picking up pace as we speak. You’re seeing more and more mainstream artists & “brand name” dj’s either commissioning dubstep remixes or playing/producing dubstep tunes..Freq Nasty, Bassnectar, Diplo, Z trip and countless others are playing dubstep in their sets. Then you have people like Kanye West giving stems to Rusko or Snoop hooking up (if you can call it that) with Chase & Status. So we’ll see, it def seems to be catching on.
What are the pros/cons of dubstep being more underground in the states?
I really wouldn’t know… I can say there’s a lot of competition for a small market in the states. But there’s a lot more respect for the music in Europe. Maybe I can get some gigs over there and answer that question later 
What other music do you listen to besides dubstep?
it would be easier to say what i don’t listen to… radio country! When I was growing up my mom def. encouraged me to listen to and appreciate all types of stuff. I like/listen to everything… jazz, jambands, funk, disco,classical hip hop, all genres of electronic, punk, I was in deathmetal bands in high school, I love some shit-kickin bluegrass, classic rock, world music, reggae, bollywood tunes… the list could go on forever.
Has production changed the way you listen to music? And how?
Hmmmm… well I guess it makes me a bit more critical of the production value of tunes. But I’ve always listened to music w/ a bit of a musicians ear. It doesn’t always have to be the best produced song in the world for me to like it. I mean, listen to some old Bad Religion or Sex Pistols.. horribly produced songs by anyones measure, but a good song is a good song. That doesn’t really answer the question though…. short answer is… not really.
What’s your weirdest experience since you have started DJing?
Hahahah… I probably shouldn’t say this but… I got a little mouth hug one time while playing at a warehouse party in L.A. And on that note.. Puppy OUT!
