Yesterday on VJ-U I interviewed VJ Giles Hendrix, a 10 year veteran of the visual performance world who’s done visuals with Paul van Dyk, Armin van Buren, and, surprisingly, no one else with “van” in their name. Giles is a prolific, dynamic artist who creates original content for every show to give it a unique look and feel. Check our interview below, which was the first at our new host [harvestworks](http://harvestworks.org/). Thank you, harvestworks!

After the show, Giles and I headed to the Highline Ballroom, a fabulous new venue, for a party hosted by [Thwak.com](http://thwak.com) and [Boards Magazine](http://www.boardsmag.com/), where Jonny Wilson, a friend of VJ-U and member of the DVJ trio [Eclectic Method](http://eclecticmethod.net), performed a kick-ass AV set. If you’re not familiar with EM, [watch the Pioneer DVJ Kitchen Jam](http://www.eclecticmethod.net/video.aspx) (scroll down to find it). At last night’s show, Tony Verderosa debuted his video drum kit, which Jonny helped create. It was hot. They used MIDI drum pads to trigger A/V clips in [VJAMM](http://www.vjamm.com/). Looking forward to further developments there.
