DJ Psx
I'm a solo DJ from upstate NY producing beats out of my attic. I got into remixing about a year ago based almost exclusively on the fact that there just aren't very many mc's to work with around here, and I wanted to hear my beats with vocals laid over them. It's definitely helped me learn alot about djing and production.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
I haven't played anywhere lately. I sometimes jump in with a localreggae band but they've sort of disbanded. Before that, I backed a few mc's.
Your musical influences
Hmm.. if I had to make a list it'd go something like this... Beastie Boys, Premier (sick production), GFE, Del, Dre, some of Eminem's stuff, Nas, Wu, J5, NWA, Ghetto Boys, Dilated, Jedi Mind Tricks.. mostly oldish hip hop with a touch of gangsta.
What equipment do you use?
Apple Powerbook loaded with Reason, Recycle and Audicity. Reason controlled by an m-audio keyboard. 2 Stanton turntables, a mixer and a steadily growing vinyl collection. Everything piped through a dj amp with some big-ass speakers.
