Exclusive (DJ) Quik Interview & Fixxers Event Gallery - April 8, 2007 By : Rud
(http://www.dubcnn.com/interviews/djquik07/djquik.jpg)
On March 24th 2007, the newly formed Fixxers (Quik & AMG) were live at the Rimac Arena in San Diego, CA. The event was a huge success and created further interest in the new group who, as we exclusively revealed recently, have signed with Interscope to officially release their upcoming album "Midnight Life" and the single Can You Werk Wit Dat - a video to which was shot this week.
Dubcnn was invited by event organisers, Pazzo Entertainment, to cover the show and interview the artists.
Our reporter, Eddie Gurrola, was able to take photos for the featured gallery, interview Quik and has since compiled an Event Report of the show. Features with fellow show attendees K-Dot & Jay Rock will follow later this week.

In the exclusive interview we talk get the details behind the dropping of "DJ" from his title, discuss his recent work with Xzibit, find out if the "Detox" call from Dr. Dre has yet occured and also get the lowdown on the new deal with Interscope. AMG appears for a moment to hype "Midnight Life" as Quik tells us what they are working on currently for the new album and much more in this world exclusive interview feature.
Exclusive Interview With Quik (April 2007)
We will be keeping you up to date on the "Midnight Life" project as well as the video to the current single Can You Werk Wit Dat over the coming weeks.

nice interview for easter
Dubcnn: You mentioned working with Dre, Aftermath, all that, are you doing anything with “Detox,” have you talked to him about that at all?
Quik: He hasn’t called yet, and I don’t wanna bug him, but, my position is always been whatever the Good Doctor needs from me, I’m there. It’s that simple.
doesent sound like there is a problem between them like its been suggested
-
Nice, FINALLY the "Swallow Me" questions... that's my favorite Quik beat ever, been waiting for these questions for years!!!! THANKS
For the rest, I don't understand Quik anymore.. he was like my idol but now he's a changed man, keep your "minimalistic production" for your South audience, I go with the Funk!

--true!!

thanks for the interview... this is DEFINATLY one you want to LISTEN to while reading it...
too bad about that DJ thing... for the record, Bone's DJ's name is DJ Ice
looking forward to that Midnight Life album... Quik is a good hypeman for his product ;D
peace
-
Great interview!!!
I guess we're just going to have to accept that Quik as an individual has changed. He told me AMG had to play him that "Can U Werk Wit Dat" beat for 3 weeks straight until he finally got into it, but that now he realizes that fighting against it isn't the solution... He said he "wants to make music that his daughter can dance to."

I KNEW IT!!! I knew it was an AMG idea, it had to be... ok we have to accept this period but I bet Quik will come back to his roots in the next years, I hope.

man, finally. a great ass interview that the dubcc crowd deserved. that was a quality ass interview from quik and the dubcc staff. great job guys. +1

So , it's AMG fault!!
I cant believe that a producer like Quik can do a beat like this, finally i know the truth
-
by the way, weren't we suppose to find something out about the "breakers" in this interview???
-
Props for this... it's too sunny to stay in even for a Quik interview, but I'm dowloading the audio for my return after a swift couple of afternoon pints. As always, DubCnn, props.

--Dang..am pretty upset about this..
But it will take sum time before i really get into the track...just d same way as Quik!!
-
So just because a bitch didn't like it we ain't never gonna have "Swallow Me"?
-
I'm glad you guys liked the interview, it got cut short so I didn't get to ask a lot of the questions I was planning to, but it still turned out well.

Damn homie, didn't realise that was you! Plus one, playa ;D
I thought it was a great interview - hearing Quik talk about the actual process of making jusic is always a pleasure, because you can tell how passionate the guy is. Whenever he talks about the business process etc, you hear his anger and frustration. But when he discusses straight up making tracks, he sounds animated.
Great shit, still can't wait for the album.
-
I knew it was AMG doing this. I mentioned it in another thread.
-
Dubcnn: Wow. Alright, there’s a lot of unreleased tracks that we’ve heard on the Internet and all that, like from back in the day or whatever, have you ever thought of putting that up online like on Myspace, you could put it up on your Myspace and sell them, or something like that, because everyone really wants to hear that kind of stuff.
Quik: If they’re unreleased, it means that they weren’t good enough for primetime back then, and it probably won’t be now. Like, when people raid the vaults and get records out, they still need to use discretion because those records might not be commercially viable. You know, you still wanna entertain your crowd. I don’t wanna play demos for my audience, they expect more than that. For me at least.
this is a shame!
-
BTW Props on the interview.
-
I'm really sure that if wasnt AMG , Quik can still make funky music
-
whos got that xzibit song there talking about in the beggining of the interview thats supposbly screwed and chopped
-
Props for the interview. Ya'll are spoiling us here...I was like, nah surely this ain't a new Quik interview already! Mad props.
But yeah, I'm just not looking forward to hearing this album at all. Like I've said since the news dropped about The Fixxxers, Quik droppin the DJ, and that lead single, this is clearly them completely compromising everything they've ever made to try and reach the Interscope / Mtv / BET crowd. Good for them if they get paid, but I won't be coppin. You guys realize though that if they do have any kind of success w/ this album that this is the type of music that Quik is gonna continue to do right? But I don't think it's really gonna matter, I don't see this album making much noise anyway, and we'll be back here in a year or so w/ Quik saying how Interscope completely fucked up the album and shit.
IMO, Quik should stay indie, make the music that he truly loves - not some shit that everybody else tells him is hot. If he stay true to himself his core fanbase would be pleased and continue to support him. Completely switching your style to flavor of the week shit and signing to Interscope isn't the answer.
-
You totally right man.
-
Decent interview,
Can't really say I'm looking forward to this new project, mainly due to the involvement of AMG...He's alright on a couple of features, but an entire album :-\....
-
I can see what you guys are saying about the new sound of the album, but don't count it out. Quik was extremely excited about this project, I could tell he really thinks this is gonna be some next level shit. The way he was talking about it got me fucking hyped, and there's no reason to think this album is gonna suck until we hear it. I think its gonna blow everyone away personally.
-
u gotta think about it, they aint get picked up by the biggest label Interscope for nothing. interscope must've heard something really crazy that made them have to release that album... so im looking forward to it.
-
to the people that said "This is AMG's idea" it's been kind of known since the beginning
ever since we heard of The Fixxers they specifically said they were both handling the production
nobody ever said it was only Quik doing beats

--hey Homie culda help but notice that you got that Samatha Mumba Track **Gotta tell** on ur Signature..
track is not bad!!..Surprised that you've even heard of that track...
-
Dope interview once again Dubcnn. I hope people actually give this album a chance and listen to it. This forum is harsh on artists that try new things so I hope it is not one of those albums that goes over peoples heads and they appreciate it later. This is a BIG opportunity they have with Interscope that could spark many other ventures so I am starting to get hyped for it.

i'll check it out. It'll probably do decent #s, assuming the video is shot correct for can you werk with dat. An album like this should do at least 300,000 (it ain't gold, but it ain't that bad)

IF I SEE THE GRILL IN THE QUIK'S MOUTH I CAN DIE TOO
fuck south
