DJ SMALLCOCK

DJ Smallcock was christened during one of Lucas Abela’s many long graveyard shifts at Radio Skid Row in 1992 or 1993. While tuning a radio to the station’s own frequency, 88.9, Abela placed the announcer’s microphone against its speaker, feeding the radio station back into itself while playing the Village People.

The phone rang. Excited that someone might actually be listening, Lucas answered, only to hear “get off the air, Smallcock” shouted down the line before it abruptly disconnected. They back-announced themself as DJ Smallcock & have used the moniker for projects made from pre-recorded material ever since. In its current iteration, pop eats itself.
