I starting to doing on 13 so like I didn't go back and collect all the old record was like you know like all the disco records to do all the parties I was doing you know this is from rock and soul in New York we I used to take the bus to rock and soul and get all these like what you know the basically white labels bootlegs that are like mastered the sound better than the album cuts because a lot of the albums had so many songs of them they weren't allow enough to put in the club you had to get it as it came out especially if you go to mix tapes so like it was expensive I started making beats technically before I started eating but I don't really care about it like that I was just messing around I would take like two cassette decks and I play a breakbeat from a CD or a record and play keyboard over it and record that one loop and then go back press pause write on be you how to do it on me and just go back and do it again it would take an hour to do a three minute beat now man I could cook a beat up in two minutes now and pro tools you know just technology is crazy it's an insane I can hear something in a restaurant Shazam it download it chop it up and have the song on tomorrow yeah 2004 serato came out and it was like the closest we had to being on point with the computer it's like as far as like scratching it sounded real and it just makes everything so convenient plus it seems thousands of dollars traveling with records saves your back from you know the pain of carrying crates sometimes I literally just walk on our stage plug-in and I'm ready to rock for an hour tech is everything at this point
