dattrax mini bio part 9\\u2026

DAT: Just before these times when these tracks were not called \'classics\'... when you went to the record store each week from your crappy, low paying and unfulfilling job there would be 30 DJs listening to the same 15 records that came out. Then you\'d buy it. Go home and listen to each track a few times, and then make a mixed tape with the fresh buys mixed in with the rest of your records. Then the next two nights go dance with your friends to the same records being played at 3-6 parties across Downtown Toronto. DJ\'ed by Toronto House Legends: Mark & Aki, P.T.S. (Peter, Tyrone & Shams), Eric Ling, Dino & Terry, Jason Palma, Dave Campbell, Patrick "D-Nice" & Kevin Williams.

Driving in cars, blaring the new mix tape! Then next week buy a mix tape from a popular DJ and see how they put it together. The repetition was drilled into you. Tracks these days don\'t get that kind of attention not because they are not good tracks, but because the environment is vastly different and there is TOO MUCH MUSIC/ TOO MANY CHOICES. You\'re forced to have a short attention span just to be able to go through all the music that you like.

A friend in highschool introduced me to house, Noel Nanton. He was an incredible DJ. He still produces house and is a graphic designer now. Great guy! He made me one of my favourite mixed tapes of all time (I have a LOT of mixed house tapes), but I foolishly lent it to a girl who never gave it back. I get upset every time it crosses my mind. Why didn\'t I just dub it first? Noel brought me to GO-GO\'s where Kevin William was destroying the system with his tight and lightening quick mixing. Who knew that the 1st Live House DJ that I saw, is the live style that Jim and I enjoy spinning like- fast changups. I sneaked into GO-GO\'s w/ my cousin\'s ID because \'all Chinese people looked alike\'. I was only 16."\\xa0
