Mind Field
by Kalani Wilhelm
Vegas isn’t for everyone.
The realization that he was merely a tiny DJ fish in a huge nightlife pond brought DJ Mindgame, an integral member of Hawai’i’s drum ‘n’ bass scene, home. Sure, his ego took a hit, but the disappointment has turned out to be a blessing in disguise.
“I moved out there to DJ initially, but it was a big culture shock for me,” he said. “I didn’t know anyone out there. No one knew who I was.”
A few months removed from the experience, Mindgame is as busy as ever with a renewed focus and expanded music repertoire. Vegas’ loss is Hawai’i’s gain for sure.
