Mannie Fresh Dj Set: 'We Bounced Everything'
In the middle of our live interview with Mannie Fresh at NPR's
headquarters in D.C., Ali asked Mannie how he approaches DJing — does he
play what he wants to hear? Or does he feed the crowd? "When I want you
to understand something, I remix it," Mannie said. "If it's Earth Wind
and Fire, and you not getting it, I'ma make you get it."
Laughing, and speaking for everyone in the room, Ali then asked if he could get a couple of those Mannie Fresh special remixes. "I got you!" said Mannie, and no one in the crowd let him forget it. After we had finished our conversation, and said our thank yous, he walked over to the decks. For the next 20 mins he put New Orleans behind songs by Kenny Chesney, Hall & Oates and Trouble Funk — leading off with his remix of "September," which somehow makes the warm embrace of Earth Wind and Fire's song even more cushy, homey and right on time.
