For more than 10 years, Owen Blake, aka DJ O.B.1, has been moving and riling up crowds with his unique music mixes. His latest event is scratching and mixing music videos from two turntables at 7 Cedars Casino’s Rainforest Stage from 9 p.m.-1 a.m. Halloween night for ages 18-and-up.

The Sequim native said he got his start deejaying by mixing his parents’ classic rock records with danceable beats and “just having fun with it.”

Blake uses real turntables and lends his services to clubs, weddings, corporate events, school functions and nonprofit charities. He also provides sound systems and stage lighting for bands, festivals, radio station events, and more. Blake plays drums, guitars and bass and writes his own music, too. Blake says he doesn’t limit limit his musical taste though.

“Life is too short to only listen to one genre,” he said.

Blake: O.B.1 is I’m Owen Blake the First. I also like “Star Wars.”

Bonus Question 3: How much are you into “Star Wars?”

Blake: The new one comes out on my birthday, Dec. 17.

Bonus Question 4: What’s your earliest memory of “Star Wars?”

Blake: I was 3. My dad took me to see “Empire Strikes Back” at the Lincoln Theater. I found an old can of pineapple juice under the seat in his T-bird. I begged him and begged him to drink it. He said no, it’s kind of old. Low and behold, it was one of those skinny cans of Dole pineapple juice with the peel off top. I pounded it down. Right during the part where Luke Skywalker crashes his X-Wing into the Dagobah swamp I remember telling my dad I didn’t feel good. I remember him carrying me like a football running down the spiral staircases. I threw up. It might have had to do with the Whoppers and other candy I was eating too. It was also the first real deep-seated feelings of regret I had. My dad had to go wipe it up with his flannel sleeve.

Question 47: Do you believe in aliens?

Blake: I think it’s selfish to think we’re the only intelligent life in such a vast universe.

Question 10: What is one thing people might not know about you?

Blake:  I did land surveying for 10 years all over the greater Western Washington area from Forks to Bainbridge Island. We did most of the big jobs like Solana. I really don’t miss it. I was just in it for the paycheck. Now I’m doing something I enjoy. That’s the trick. Find something you love to do and get paid for it and you’ll feel like you haven’t worked a day in your life.
