DJ Mdue's Bio DJ Mdue is the newest force on the decks unleashed by Sandla Entertainment’s Local Talent Development Division. Rated very highly in terms of potential by the “Wicked one”, he has already showed his naturally intricate ear for picking up dance-floor friendly tunes. Because of the generation he belongs to, he has embraced all the privileges new technology comes with and thus has decided to equip himself with the skills necessary to operate almost all the platforms of mixing music.
His love for mixing was kick started in the year 2004 when he was introduced to mixing software that simulates a club DJ table. After putting hours of practice, he saw it fit to venture out into reality and that is when he met with Swaziland and SADC’s then champion DJ Wicked. Now, Mdue is a product of Sandla’s non-compromising objective of producing strictly pedigree DJ’s. Mdue has patiently studied, very closely through observing the A-list of the trade at work, both local and international DJ’s.
Dj Wicked assisted in helping Mdue breakdown the art form to its basic ingredients: beat matching, non-stop mixing, sampling and scratching. In the end, the result has surpassed its projection as he combines all the above while maintaining seamless mixing. With such a foundation in place, most of the experts in the industry have earmarked Mdue as Swaziland’s next icon DJ.
The urge to entertain comes naturally for him and he always has the latest variety of music genres in his arsenal. Once the technique and skill of delivery reaches the master levels he yearns for, he will then focus on establishing a style of play that will set him further apart from the wanna-be DJ’s currently found in the industry. At the moment he is using his work ethic and passion for the game to keep him in tune with the consumer’s desires.
In a short period of service, the man already boasts of an impressive resume as he has already played alongside Swaziland’s cream and underground DJ’s as well as international acts. His aim is to develop the Mdue brand by always delivering more than what is expected of him incorporating the latest trends in the dance culture while keeping in tune with his style of play. Mdue believes that it is always wise to be in tune with the consumer’s desires and deliver it in your own individual way. “By the end of 2007, I should be able to play on the three platforms of mixing: Vinyl, CD’s and Final Scratch, because the future is here!” says the man himself.
