Knowing little to nothing about music, and even less about rap, the turntablism fascinated me.
Self-taught I began experimenting with turntables, and as the years progressed I became more and more overwhelmed by the robotic, super-human abilities of the examples and heros I had discovered in the dj universe.
As I hopelessly began constructing beats and making loops, scouring the universe for samples and collecting dust covered story book records, my appreciation for the legends that inspired me grew incredibly deep.
I dreamed of the day a break record would be pressed with samples I found, beats that I pasted together, and random artwork that I made.
Time passed, technology advanced and the ability to digitally control anything and everything you could possibly have ever dreamed of on vinyl was developed.
I do not consider myself extraordinary by any means in the arts of production, djing or scratching, though I do have the desire to create and develop a community of innovation founded upon an underlining desire to share, explore and improve the artistic ability of expressing oneself through sound.
