:: INTERVIEW ::

​

🔥 Light Twerkerz: How would you describe Light Twerkerz to your parents?

📣 EZ.NAIVE: Light Twerkerz is a fun collective promoting body positivity through dance.

 

 

🔥 Light Twerkerz: How did you first discover twerking?:

📣 EZ.NAIVE: As a kid growing up in Greece I was always super influenced by

 American culture, movies and dance. I would secretly stay up watching the X-rated videos on MTV. 

 

🔥 Light Twerkerz: What inspires you to move your butt as a dancer?:

📣 EZ.NAIVE: More traditional drumming really gets me going. Honestly the first part of me that dances is always my butt. It comes naturally. In Greece we have tsifteteli. Tsifteteli is a mix of Balkan music and Middle Eastern music in my opinion. So the hip shaking butt shaking is my first instinct. I remember going to an industrial goth club in Athens in my late teens/early twenties and I was almost belly dancing to the music. A stranger came up to me and told me I need to dance more mechanically to it. Haha! I didn’t listen.

 

🔥 Light Twerkerz: What is the most butt-tastic dancefloor activity you’ve ever witnessed while DJing?

📣 EZ.NAIVE: My sets unlike this one have always been kind of slow jam vibes. So I am hoping in the future I can see more butt-tastic activities. Honestly just seeing people feeling free and happy is the most butt-tastic though.

 

🔥 Light Twerkerz: Do you have a favorite booty type? Kindly explain…

📣 EZ.NAIVE: All butts are good butts.

 

🔥 Light Twerkerz: What kind of butt do you have?

📣 EZ.NAIVE: I have a butt that loves to jiggle.

 

🔥 Light Twerkerz: What does a booty/body positive dance floor mean to you as a DJ?

📣 EZ.NAIVE: I think the feeling of acceptance we get at the right dance floor is so needed. I think one of the greatest things we can do as a collective is celebrate life, find joy and pleasure so we can bring that energy to everything we do in our lives. We need joy, and to have real confidence in ourselves today, I think with all

the troubles of the world, that release is important. In a society that profits from our insecurities, self love is a rebellious act (can’t remember who that is quote is from), and sometimes the dance floor gives us that little push to remember that.

 

🔥 Light Twerkerz: If you were sharing this DJ mix to someone you were crushing on, how would you describe it to them?

📣 EZ.NAIVE: I made something to get sweaty to... I hope people can close their eyes and imagine the dance floor that awaits them with all their friends. You know all the energy build up from not attending a dance floor for the past year and a half? This is the mix to fantasize about the future big party to come. 🍑
