I remember being in high school and making mixtapes by recording CD’s and radio tracks on to cassette tapes, and trying to pause the recording where I knew the next track could come in nicely. I also used to make a lot of mix CD’s for friends. I loved it. What pushed me over the edge was going back to college after summer break, and my roommate (out of nowhere) had bought one turntable and a crappy mixer. That pushed me over the edge to buy another deck, a good mixer, and tons of records.
Other DJ’s have always inspired me though. 75% of the time I’m listening to music, it’s either one of my mixes, or other DJ mixes that I find. It gives me tons of ideas on how I can better my own craft.
