I first started jacking mixshows of Houstons 97.9 on casset in 1992,and using a JVC dual casset player I would mix two tapes together.Got so good at it I new when the comercials were ganna start and were the were ganna do a station identification.Upgraded to minidisc in 1995 for better editing,but finaly decided to buy my turntables of the back of the source magazine in 1998.I knew no dj so i bought the Numerk 1700 belt drives with a Gli mixer and a Gli 3 second sampler.In 2000 I got some staton str8 60 direct drive with some dj craze cartridges,then upgraded my Gli mixer to a Tascam x3.Now i spin on one 1200,one 1210's,or two z1200.
