dattrax mini bio part 12\u2026

JIM: \u201cA friend of mine named Marco told me about this underground house music thing, gave me a tape, made by his friend Tony. It had Raze\u2019s \u201cBreak for Love\u201d, Fast Eddie\u2019s \u201cAcid Thunder\u201d and the new hit by Bobby Konders, \u201cThe Poem\u201d. I was in the record store the next day and bought:
Bobby Konders - The Poem
On Virgo Traxx (New York Kidz) \u2013 When You Hold Me
Larry Heard \u2013 Donnie
Jay Williams \u2013 Sweat
And the rest as they say... is history. Well, not really, I was a broke kid, I couldn\u2019t stop buying records long enough to save up for turntables, so the first set of turntables I got were these things called Shadow\u2019s (I think at some point I sold them to Dat). The pitch was reversed from that of 12\u2019s and the response from the pitch slide was horrible, but at least I could mix my records, on my Radio Shack (now The Source) no EQ's, two channel mixer (that I still have) and my ear bud walkman knock-off head set. That\u2019s right I said it, a walkman. If we had iPod quality headsets back then, I don\u2019t think it would have made a difference. I don\u2019t think the mixer could have pushed out the sound any louder.\u201d

BTW... if you enjoy this mix, then why don't you buy us a beer? There's a PayPal DONATE button on the top right side of this website. For Toronto or Global bookings: dattrax@gmail.com

This was an all vinyl house mix.
