Sure, I'd have been laughed off the dancefloor if I tried to do that in a club, but like a mother who's just given birth to an ugly baby, it was still a magical moment I had squeezed out a shiny baby mix and I wanted more. I remember my first mix like it was yesterday: Two Plastikman tracks that were so similar, they might as well have been the same track.
For years, the tech remained the same: two or more records or CDs playing through a mixer and at the controls, an individual looking to make something interesting happen with it all. Reader comments with From vinyl to siliconĭJing has come a long way, and it's hard to believe that it was basically the same hardware at the center of such a huge spectrum of musical experimentation, from disco to hip hop.
