When I was a DJ back in the 70's all I had was 2 turntables and a microphone. Well at home I had reverb and 8 track, cassette, turntables and no microphone; A Pioneer receiver with Jensen Speakers let me put that all tobether but it's absolutely amazing to me that the mistakes(?) I made back then turned into a genre.
I'm not taking credit for hip-hop mind you, but I can assure you it started way back when funk and disco had their battle. I was a Funkateer to the end. The only guy I really met from Parliment/Funkadelic was the diaper guy who would take it off and just groove with the audience when he didn't have anything to play or sing. Laid right down beside me in White Stadium.
Does anyone still just mix songs?
