DJ Whoquestion

Biography

DJ Whoquestion is Andrew Ridker, who, upon blowing his Bar Mitzvah money on turntables, took to DJing and never looked back. He specializes in not only mashups but hip hop production, is one half of the alternative act West Egg, and plays live shows as well. In addition to DJing, he can be found writing or plucking a banjo, albeit poorly. He splits his time between Boston and St. Louis and has DJed everywhere from 20th wedding anniversary parties to warehouse shows. He enjoys Fruity Pebbles, Lou Reed’s “Transformer”, and the poems of Lawrence Ferlinghetti, and highly recommends all three for a balanced, healthy lifestyle.
