We talked to djesentrik, whose remix of 'Cuff It' got Beyoncé's stamp of approval:
“I hope this inspires a lot of people especially in the DJ culture and the producer culture because not all of us are going to make it,” Esentrik, 39, told Gothamist in an interview. “But sometimes you get these little moments and it’s just inspiring people to say it’s possible.”
“I was working my 9-to-5, and I was requesting days off a lot, because the popularity started building,” Esentrik said. “I was seeing myself traveling every weekend, and it got pretty insane for me, scheduling wise. I had to take the leap and take a risk.” After “Still Got Time” began circulating in early fall, it wasn’t long before DJs started playing his mashup in their sets at parties. Most DJs properly acknowledged Esentrik, but there was one,, who tried to pass the mix off as his idea. Esentrik is grateful that Beyoncé’s team determined whose idea it was originally. An A&R rep reached out in December to begin conversations about making a real deal.
