I was really into graffiti and tried my hand at it for a bit. But I realized pretty quickly that I wasn’t that good at it, so I stopped. Back then I listened to Die Fantastischen Vier and always thought scratching was awesome. The sound, the look of the turntables set up with the mixer in the middle. I loved everything about it. I knew I had to try it, and I had this Die Fantastischen Vier film record, “Die. 4. Dimension,” from Bravo, which was actually pretty good for scratching on top of real vinyl records. I started learning where the sounds started and getting a feeling for it. Then I showed a coworker of mine some of the stuff I had produced. He said he knew this really good DJ who was a few grades ahead of him, DJ CSP. We still keep in touch, and he’s been like a brother to me. He taught me all the basics, from the baby scratch to the transformer scratch. He was also how I found out about Samplitude. I was addicted to scratching. And then I was addicted to producing. The rest is history (laughs).
