Scratchaholics contest

Kalonje

Pulse: If you attended a show with Mantixx as the DJ, how would you annoy him?

Kalonje: I would ‘accidentally’ step on the wire, hence unplugging the power cables.

P: Would you hire Mantixx’s services at your wedding?

K: I could use him to be the caterer; with all that muscle he would be able to carry the food and drinks around comfortably.

P: Where does Mantixx fall , the mathree owners who court sugar mummies or the mathree DJs popular with high school girls?

K: None. He doesn’t own a mathree. Neither a sugar mummy nor a high school hottie would go for him.

P: How would you rate Mantixx as a club DJ?

K: I’ve not heard him play but I can depict something from the fans who run away from his club to come to mine (chuckles)

P: If you were a traffic cop and Mantixx is a notorious mathree driver. How you would deal with him?

K:I would apprehend him and take away all DJ Mantixx mixxtapes playing in the mat and lock him up for killing the fans with the boring music.

P: Between the two of you, whose mixxes play in the ‘tired’ mathrees?

K: All mathrees carry fans but some mixxtapes — and I’m not naming names here (wink! wink!)— make some tired; mpaka mathree inachoka kuenda!

P: Where do you think the name ‘Mantixx’ came from?

K: It’s either from the insect praying mantis or it’s a spin-off from the international DJ Mantrixx.

P: How do you refer to yourself in this industry?

K: Deejay Kalonje, Tha Mixxtape Godfather.

P: What’s the one thing you would advise Mantixx to do so as to succeed?

K:I would advise him to send me his CV so that I train and employ him under Mixxmasters Entertainment… well that’s a start!

P: Most memorable moment in the industry?

K: Winning the both the Nganya (matatu) and the Chaguo la Teeniez Awards as the best DJ in the industry. The fans have spoken, big up to all my fans! Bigger things are coming!

P: What other profession do you think would suit Mantixx?

K:I think he would be good as those body builders. The dude is huge!

Mantixx

Pulse: If you attended a show with Kalonje the DJ, what’s the most irritating thing you would pull to annoy him?

M:I would make the MC shout out loud kumbuka leo DJ Mantixx ‘King wa streetz DJs’ ako ndani ya nyumba!! Wapi nduru ya Mantixx!

P: Would Kalonje be a mathree owner who courts sugar mummies or DJ popular with high school hotties?

M: Kalonje is the high school hotties one, because many students love. I remain a full time entertainer who cuts across the generations.

P: How would you rate Kalonje as a club jockey?

M:He is good but club DJ and video mixxes in a club ni tofauti.

P: Suppose you were a traffic cop,how would deal with him?

M:Oh, he actually is notorious, but tutaskizana. Si unajua tuko Kenya; TKK na biz inaendelea manze.

P: Between the two of you, whose mixxes play in the ‘tired’ mathrees?

M:I am not in a position to tell that because sipandagi ma ngote but wote ni ma fans and nawapenda wo...

P: Where do you think the name ‘Kalonje’ came from?

M:It was my suggestion. Before, he used to call himself Sizzla Kalonji, just as the Jamaican reggae artiste.

P: How do you refer to yourself in this industry?

M: The King of the streetz deejays.

P: What’s your most memorable moment in the industry?

M: Clinching an unexpected deal from total strangers in a club who I only met after I overhead them speak highly of my work.

P: What other profession do you think would suit Kalonje?

M: Probably a cook, because he loves cooking a lot.
