Home Spam! with tittsworth

tittsworth_cfye_interview

From a performance aspect, Tittsworth has continuously dominated decks at a plate-a-minute's pace. His diverse, high energy sets seamlessly blend Baltimore Club, rave, house, and more. He has grossly exceeded promoter expectations from Beijing to Brazil. He's dropped jaws in Milan, hometown to the Crookers. He's headlined highly successful club openings from Bangkok to Dublin. He remains a favorite in Scandinavia, Australia, Canada and countless cities both large and small. Tittsworth sells out in Sao Paulo, providing one of their best nights to date.

What were you doing the moment you received these questions?

I just got back from walking my friends dog. It´s a rainy, wintery day in Washington DC but for what it´s worth, her French bulldog (named ´Tamago´) is dressed up in a painfully cute bee costume.

The most disappointing movie this year is?

I was at an after party and Sex In The Shitty was on. I only caught 15 minutes of it.. maybe it was 15 seconds and it felt like 15 minutes. So I don´t sound like a hater, I really liked Step Brothers (a movie I thought I was going to hate and one that´s often hated on)

Which cartoons did you used to watch as a kid, and which were your favorites?

I really liked Chilly Willy the Penguin for some reason, and penguins in general (and puffins). Which is interesting because I´m not so into cold weather. I´ve been a huge Simpsons fan, even when it was on the Tracey Ulman show

What shoe size do you got?

11.5 ideally, sometimes a 12. My left foot is slightly larger because I broke it in multiple places. I was trying to sneak out of the house from my second story bedroom window.

Does technology improve your lifestyle or could you do without?

Probably a bit of both, but if I had to choose I would never go back to life before internet porn, I mean computers.

What got you into the music game?

Being a fan of music, experiencing inspiration music (eventually creating it) and wanting to share it with others.

What was the first piece of music equipment you used, and what are your tools now?

I guess my dad´s turntable was the first ever. I broke the needle trying to scratch and spent hours trying to beat match with its tuning pitch dial. My first non DJ related piece was an Akai S20. A pitch only sampler that took floppy disks.

"I look forward to when it´s all internet based and mobile companies can stop ripping us off for roaming and all that though"

Mobile Phone: blessing or punishment?

I´m pretty good at disconnecting when I need to disconnect (maybe a little too good). I look forward to when it´s all internet based and mobile companies can stop ripping us off for roaming and all that though.

If you have the opportunity to fill a swimming pool with anything you like, what would that be?

If calories didn´t count: pecan pie filling

If they did: toro

What is your favorite item/object/thing you own?

Right now, my coat and scarf cuz it´s COLD!

What´s your favorite city, and what do you like most about it?

I love DC! I´ve been here for 15+ years! The culture, inspiration and support I get at home is incomparable! if only I could move it south a few hundred miles or so.

Funeral: Black or White or (choose a color)?

Black.

Do you use hair products:

I´ve cut my hair down to next-to-nothing for 10 years or so. I just recently started to grow it out and bought pomade for the first time in a decade!

Bill or Steve? (PC or MAC)

PC, barely.

City or Nature?

Live in/near the city w/ frequent trips to nature.

Music wise, what´s next?

Finishing up some big big tunes and really looking forward to helping club music reach that next level!
