Tricky

My background was Rude Boys, Teddy Boys, rockabillys and skinheads. I was into reggae and Blondie and The Cure, and especially The Specials - these black and white guys getting it together. Extreme personalities. Extreme talent.

Neville and I are big fans of ska. He's actually more into original, Jamaican, skinhead, two-tone ska from England, but I'm more into punk ska - Operation Ivy and stuff Rancid would do.

I'm incredibly defiant against neo-Nazis and skinheads.

Initially, skinheads were not tied to political views but focused on music and fashion.

The term can imply violent, racist ideologies, although this is not universally true.

 techniques are both powerful and far-reaching leaving behind the conventional uniform they've learned to blend into mainstream society to attract new recruits you know we had a run with the skinhead thing and it was fun but then i said well it's time you know

Skinheads Recruiting...

 Well, as you just saw earlier, they mix tracks. What I just did was mix a Kanye West intro from "Black Skinheads" with a track called "LRAD." One of the main goals is to really trigger samples, tracks, or clips and kind of create this long journey.

Getting started as a DJ:...

 And soon, I became the leader of that infamous organization that was led by that man in that alley who recruited me that day, who was America's first neo-Nazi skinhead and who had radicalized me.
