A DJ vet: "I don't practice at all. I've been doing this for while, but I'm constantly looking for new stuff that I haven't played before that might mix in with what I do — it keeps it really fresh," Ewen says.

Weirdest request: "I'll sometimes get requests for some Michael Jackson or Janet Jackson in the middle of a goth night."
