Mix It Up
I am DJ JX and I am hobbyist DJ (disc jockey). I started spinning about 20 years ago. I was inspired in a way by my brother and his friends who used to have a mobile disco (almost everybody I think that time had a mobile). The name of his mobile was MasterMix.
Anyway, one day, I asked him to teach me how to mix. Basically he put one vinyl record on each turntable, with similar beats and BPM (beats per minute) and started to "mix it up". Eventhough his mix was off sync or the beats didn't match up, he taught me the essence of spinning. I picked up from that lesson, got more equipment, and eventually got better, at least better than my brother (hehe).
Soon, my hobby became a business and some sort of outlet. I had spun at my uncle's disco in the province. I became a guest for a friend's hip bar, Sambo. I was a regular at top radiot station's Saturday Night Live show dishing out club hits and fave house tracks. More importantly, I was hired by numerous clients to liven up their parties via my mobile disco.
Needless to say, my passion for music grew as did my skill since I was able to graduate from spinning vinyl records to CD's. However, when my family and I decided to migrate to Canada, I had to take the bitter pill that I would have to part from my DJ equipment and my beloved collection. Moreover, I would have to say goodbye from my passion. All I had in tow was a couple of loaded CD cases and my 30GB mp3 player.
Fast forward to life in Canada, I had almost forgotten about spinning and mixing until my nephew informed me about this software which could allow you to do a non-linear mix of tracks. With some dabbling and because of my experience in video editing, I was quick to pick up on the tool and was able to make myself several mixes. To be honest, I even felt that my latest creations were even better than what I did back home.
Anyway, I was so elated to re-discover my hobby and to be able to do it in today's technology. Imagine, I did not physically handle any records, any CD's, nor any mixer for me to complete my masterpieces.
Without further delay, here is how you can acquire my much-hyped mixes:
