How did you get in to production?

Well I first got introduced to it with Dance eJay 2 (I think). My mate brought round a demo that was on a mag and until then I didn't actually really know music was made and I was quite blown away at the fact I could make tunes so easy lol.

But it wasn't until about 8 years later (this year) that I actually sat down and started to learn it properly.

I wish I knew what I knew now 8 years ago, I'd be a musical genius lol.

played in a punk band (bass guitar) and we broke up. i was listening to a bit of electronic music and wanted to make it. got Cool Edit Pro 1.2 and would record myself playing drums and bass and keyboard and cut em up. made some weird lo-fi shit. produced on and off for a while. got serious 2 years ago, reading up constantly on EQ, compression, etc and finally started using MIDI to sequence instead of just using loops.

now i play my tracks out in clubs and people dance and life is grand.

when i was in fifth grade i used dub tapes over and over to create mixes that had repeats almost like turntable beat juggling minus the the turntables. my friends thought i was a genius for some reason but when i look back it's kind of embarrassing. anyway, that was the seed. freshman year i saved up money and bought a drum machine and from there it was over.

Listened to it from the day I was born. Dad was into Tangerine Dream, Klaus Schulze, Kraftwerk, Pink Floyd, The Who, Jethro Tull, Eno etc...

He had a nice hifi too.

Went to work with my Dad to his job in a Theatre. He was a lighting engineer as a second life for a laugh. I was surrounded.

He spoke about it all the time.

Got an Amiga in the house. He bought me a mixer (dj). Not sure why. It was rough sounding and cheap.

Played with my mates decks. He lent them to me for some reason. Thinking back that was insane. The movement of the needles fascinated me though. Looked like insects. They seemed to fight back at you when you laid them down roughly.

BANG BANG BANG...

Here I am.

End.

^^^^yeah same here

a guy a barely knew gave me his set of old decks

then later some friends lent me an ensoniq eps-16+ cuz they couldn't figure it out and wanted me to make their hiphop beats.

I have continued to pass down my older and used gear to people in need and that are on the come up

good dj karma

Sounds cliche but I started when I was little doing stuff with tape recorders and Casios and whatever we could find around the house. Used to use two tape decks. Record on one. Play that tape back, play along to it and record on another to overdub. Then we got real instruments. Then 4-tracks. My bro was the drummer. Couldn't use him when I went off to college so I got a drum machine off some kid for like 20 bucks and pack of smokes. I would program beats and play guitar and bass along with it. Eventually I dumped the guitars. Started Djing. On and on, but thats how it started. In the early to mid 80's mind you. Old man steppa.
