dattrax mini bio part 12…

JIM: “A friend of mine named Marco told me about this underground house music thing, gave me a tape, made by his friend Tony. It had Raze’s “Break for Love”, Fast Eddie’s “Acid Thunder” and the new hit by Bobby Konders, “The Poem”. I was in the record store the next day and bought:
Bobby Konders - The Poem
On Virgo Traxx (New York Kidz) – When You Hold Me
Larry Heard – Donnie
Jay Williams – Sweat
And the rest as they say... is history. Well, not really, I was a broke kid, I couldn’t stop buying records long enough to save up for turntables, so the first set of turntables I got were these things called Shadow’s (I think at some point I sold them to Dat). The pitch was reversed from that of 12’s and the response from the pitch slide was horrible, but at least I could mix my records, on my Radio Shack (now The Source) no EQ's, two channel mixer (that I still have) and my ear bud walkman knock-off head set. That’s right I said it, a walkman. If we had iPod quality headsets back then, I don’t think it would have made a difference. I don’t think the mixer could have pushed out the sound any louder.”

BTW... if you enjoy this mix, then why don't you buy us a beer? There's a PayPal DONATE button on the top right side of this website. For Toronto or Global bookings: [email protected]

This was an all vinyl house mix.
