Interview with Mike Relm

Mike Relm is wearing a black suit backstage at Coachella.

“It’s advantageous,” the San Francisco-based DJ said. “I won’t get burned on my arms and chest and legs like everyone else.”

The DJ who uses video in his sets is playing at 10 p.m. in the Gobi tent. He arrived Friday and got the chance to see former touring partners Peeping Tom and a little bit of Interpol.

However, he’s planning to catch Air and Rage Against the Machine on Sunday.

“I definitely want to see what Rage Against the Machine’s energy is like,” Relm said. “It’s going to be historic.”

He said of all of the festivals he’s played, Coachella has been one of the best.

“It’s overwhelmingly amazing,” he said. “And the setting is beautiful.”

He said the organizers have been great and they definitely care about the artists. He arrived to find a drawing marking his dressing room of a lamb wearing glasses and a tie that resemble his own.
