Hey Dooban man, Yeh I first started mixing Old Skool D&B from 94, then started house in 96/7 then in 2001 stopped completely..Restarted on this scratch thing in 2004. What I focused on mainly when I played out was good record selection & Good quality mixing, but I always tried to vary my mixing techniques throughout a set....and this has been further enhanced by being able to scratch at a compentant level...hopefully getting better all the time.... What are you into Dooban?
