Here is the second part of DJ Leandro Becker's exclusive interview with Made In Brazil.
What was the strangest thing that was ever thrown at you at the DJ booth?
Too many to mention, but I'd say cell phones, panties, and car keys are common at this point. Once someone threw a forró album (FYI, forró is traditional party music from the Northeast of the country) at me and asked me to play it by screaming "That's what good music sounds like."
Do you read any sites or blogs frequently?
MixBrasil, GLX, Terraco Fortaleza, and Made In Brazil.
Vinyl or CD?
I love vinyl because that is I how I learned to spin. However, I have started producing my sets recently, and need to use CDs for that. The other issue with vinyl is that very few clubs in Brazil have vinyl turntables.
Madonna, Whitney, Mariah... Who is the biggest gay diva?
I don't think there is a biggest diva because I feel a good party needs all of them, even a little Cher, who must be over 150 years old by now. I actually think she will live forever because she is certainly irreplaceable.
What is the meaning of your tattoo?
Someone told me I had been a dolphin in my previous life, and I believed him.
How long have you been married? Are kids in the near future?
I have been married (to his wife Dani) for 2 years and 4 months. I want to have kids, but not at the moment.
If you weren't a DJ, what would you be doing now?
If I weren't DJing, I'd be frustrated.
In 2006 I will be... happy above all, and will spread that happiness around.

Yes. I believe Cher will survive Leandro Becker.

Who the fuck throws car keys? Or their cellphone? Panties - understandable.

Does anyone have a good photo of the tattoo? I can't see it very well on some of the photos I have.

Leandro has a wife and child.
He is a good looking guy, and very talented. But I can't say he's that HOT!

Software such as Serato that still allow you to mix with your turntables are cool, but with all the new technology and software out now days, the art of beatmixing has lost some of its value. Much respect to all the DJ's still doing it old school.
