Read the DJ RECKLESS Interview below and share it on social media.
Please tell our readers who you are and what you do?
Hello my name is Raul Villalobos IV (aka DJ RECKLESS). I am from Waukegan, Illinois. I am 21 years old and I am a DJ/Music Producer. I became fascinated with music at the age of 13 when I purchased my first DJ controller and taught myself to mix, and later down the road taught myself how to produce music. I took the electronic dance music (EDM) scene by storm, igniting dance events, college parties, and nightclubs. I received widespread recognition with two remixes called "Gotta Get Through This (JAUZ Retrofuture Remix) [RECKLESS Remix Edit]" by Daniel Bedingfield. The other recognition was "Squeaky (RECKLESS VIP Edit)" by Boevenbende. I love to bring new, unique, and different sounds to the Dance Music scene. Now, I have been gaining support from my favorite DJ/Producer 3LAU. I also perform LIVE! On Air on 88.3 The Dog FM for my radio show called "RECKLESS At Seven" which airs Friday nights at 7pm (CST). I will be headed to New York City in March 2018 to possibly receive an award for my Radio Show being ranked in the Top 5 in the Nation as being the “Best Specialty Music Show.” I have a great talent in the Dance Music industry and I aim to share my talent to the world and bring people together through Dance Music. That is my Goal.
How would you describe your influences and how have they changed over the years?
I first began playing a lot of Big Room and Hardstyle tracks in my early years and I noticed not many people where I’m from didn’t have much taste in those EDM sub-genres so when Bass House was first introduced, that’s where my taste changed and ever since then, I’ve gotten the dance floors going hard with Bass House and not only Bass House but also House, Future House, Electro, Progressive House, Deep House, Moombahton, and Jungle Terror.
What´s new right now?
I am currently constantly working hard on my radio shows which my Radio Show airs every Friday night at 7pm (CST) on 88.3 The Dog. I recently gained recognition from a college radio organization called “Intercollegiate Broadcasting System” (IBS). My radio show is ranked in the Top 5 in the Nation as the “Best Specialty Music Show” in the Nation. Therefore, I will be headed to New York City to hopefully receive and award for my Radio Show.
