Q1.What's your DJ name and where are you from?
My DJ name is Iain Jefferson. I am originally from Berwick-Upon-Tweed and now live in Ladykirk in the Scottish Borders.

I started mixing in 2001 when I bought a pair of newmark decks and mixer then gradually built up my set to a pair of Technics 1210 vinyl decks, a Pioneer djm 300 mixer and a pair of CDJ 800 CD decks.
Q3. When did you realise you wanted to go down the music route?
I realised I was going to go down the musical route when I started going to club nights like "Shindig" in Newcastle to see DJ's like Deep Dish and Darren Emerson. I heard what sounds could be achieved by blending amazing music together, I knew then that is what I wanted to do.

My greatest inspiration has to be John Digweed, as he is a true genius at mixing. I have seen him play a lot and he never fails to deliver the goods.
Q5. What club would you most like to play?
I would love to play at "Tribal Sessions" at "Sankeys" in Manchester, it won the best club in the DJmag club awards.
