Megan Foxxx

Over the past year I’ve had the pleasure of meeting so many talented and creative people in Atlanta.  I smile just thinking about it.  However, some people obviously shine a little more than others.  Y’all know what I’m talking about. I’m talking about FUCKING MEGAN FOXXX!!

Who is DJ Megan Foxxx and why do we like him so so much? Let’s get to it:

Hey MeganFoxxx!  What’s up with the moniker and what’s your real name?
My real name is daniel i was given the nickname daniel disaster a few years ago for um….various reasons. I came  up with the moniker megan foxxx because I wanted to create this anti pop star to backlash at this American obsession of celebrity culture worship. It’s a guilty pleasure for alot of people. Myself included. I’m just giving it back to the masses in a “in your face” and having fun with it in the process.

Sorry, Darlin has a very important question. Do you prefer blondes, brunettes or redheads?

I prefer all 3 at once. I don’t discriminate – i guess im just all about equal opportunity.

Describe your first gig. When did you start?

Damn my first gig…. it’s been a minute…..I’ve been djing for over 10 yrs now. My first break was when I was 16 i opened for a huge drum & bass dj at the time. I was obviously nervous just like anyones first time, but I knew it was my calling when everything was said and done. I stepped out of djing to persue other music projects, more specifically producing for grand Hustle making mainstream radio bangers with the likes of T.I., young dro, young la…..the list pretty ridiculous but im thankful for every opportunity i had.

We heard a little rumor you worked with Rhianna.  Is it true? Is she a beautiful alien princess like I always imagined?

Shes gorgeous and talented. can’t wait to work with her again.

What’s your favorite thing about being a DJ?

BITCHES + Booze + bangers + Bad decisions….

Who are your musical influences? 

Shit its a wide range.  I grew up listening to old punk and hardcore and gangsta rap so that’s all in there.  I mean I really listen to all sorts of esoteric shit.  From crass and minor threat to circa survive and weird left field electronic music. One of my fav bands of all time is converge I even named my dog jane doe. Pulling from all of this gives me a diverse palette.  i think what makes me different is how i interpret those influences.
The biggest influence I feed off is complete anarchy and chaos. That energy fuels me it comes across in my music, in my dj sets, and live performances. I take a very punk rock approach. trash shit and get fucked up and have fun in the process.

Future plans?

Firstly, Im in a production duo with my best friend pete heartless called heroes+villains we are really trying to create and push a new sound in southern music.  Mixing rap, pop and dubstep together into this hybrid of club/thug music. Were putting together a mixtape with a bunch of our remix work of local rap artists and some original work as well as influences and friends tracks. We just remixed Gucci – lemonade so watch out for that.
Also im putting some parties together one with AAA of Noize Industry, ohsnapkid, issac, my other manager coach k and cobra called HEAVY! it’s gonna be an 21+ event at Graveyard in EAV. It’s gonna be my showcase night. The night which we will use as the platform for the HEROES+VILLAINS movement. We’ll be bringing in out of state talent as well as having live performances each month from artists im currently working with. It will be the night where you can experience what we are trying to accomplish with heroes+villains.

I just dropped an exclusive mix for rob wonders scion radio show that will be airing all month on the no static at all channel 7.
