I've been doing beats and DJ'ing since about 1983-84, I guess. I grew up with hip-hop. I've done some producing for a few cats over the years, but the farther away from the industry I stay, the more I enjoy what I do.

Old school DJ's and producers: Premier, Pete Rock, Scotlarock, Prince Paul, Marley Marl, etc.
Mainly use reason and a Korg MicroCONTROL USB midi studio controller.
