PEDM- Hey Safarii! Great to have the opportunity to be with you again. Why don’t we start out with a short introduction for all of our readers (DJ Name, Musical Style).

SAF- SAFARii UREÑA :: Currently going by just SAFARii. It seems like my last name isn’t the easiest to pronounce. lol :: I would be scared to say what musical style I like. May be I should say depending on the weather is what I would listen to. At the club you might listen to a tech /minimal style with a tribal splash. I’m from the Dominican Republic.

PEDM- What draws you to dance music and drives you to be more creative each time you step up to the decks?

SAF- I’m Driven by two things. The energy of the crowd, and the way GREAT music can make you forget of everything, and welcome you into the DJ/Producer’s way of ART.

PEDM- What changes have you undergone, in the musical sense, since you began focusing on DJing electronic dance music?

SAF- Many changes! It’s been a Journey :: I can only say, unless you see this as a way of life it would be difficult to understand.

PEDM- I know you’re a busy man between your weekly residencies and guest spots, are you leaving any time open for Producing? Are we gunna hear any productions by DJ Safarii in the future?

SAF- Currently I’m getting comfy with all the production tools but hopefully in the near future.

PEDM- Right now, music in the dance world is blowing up! Of course we’re in the prime time for releases with the Winter Music Conference just 2 weeks away. What artists or labels are catching your attention these days?

SAF- Luciano, Loco dice, Audiofly, Mendo, and a few more guys that are creating unique sounds.

PEDM- Last year year at WMC we had a blast! What’s the first thing you’re gunna do when you touch down in Miami?

SAF- Tnxxxxxx god for the opportunity

PEDM- You just broke huge news about you DJing @ ULTRA. A huge honor and a monumental moment for your career. Tell us about this gig and how special it is for you?
