How many people can say that they were born to DJ? Well I have pics to prove it!







My mom dug these up and I laughed my butt off. (Please note that these were the early 70\'s)

[EDIT]

Found another one, check out the needle drop!

Awwwwww.......

Too cute.
 
i was born to dj..just that my shell didnt crack until i was 13...
 
Those are cute Derrick, who is that kid??..because none of us has ever looked that cool....lol...
 
Of course that "cool" kid is me. :) The amazing part is that my son looks so much like I did when I was his age.
 
Wow, They don't make decks like that any more :) mine had batterys and a needle opposed to a stylus, great pics, happy memorys?
 
 
 
I've got my first child on the way, a son to be born in January 2009. I have already told his mother that I will have him spinning records before he's even in school.
 
The amazing thing is, and I kinda remember this too, is that my parents would ask me to get a certain record and I was able to go and pick it out before I could even read!

DJ Renee that is the greatest picture ever! Reminds me of the one I took of my son:



He was on 6 months old when we took that. He has since lost the chubby cheeks!
 
I was interested in dj in my teens so started scratching on my mothers old school Zenith Allegro 8 track stereo sytem back in the late 70s. She had james brown records, the manhattans, saturday night fever album and many great hits. I really got into dj in the 80s. I was doing a search on the net to find the stereo system and found this classic news papper ad from 1974.. Her stereo was the Zenith Allegro 1000 sound system Model F587W selling for 279.95

To have one of these back then it was the ultimate...
 
well he didnt start as young as some... but he's started. took this one a little while back, when he was 5, and yes, he does use the software that a bunch of us think is too hard to figure out.

Vista??
 
I don't know if I was "Born to DJ" but I've been doing it since 1983 or 84.

I'll never forget the first record that I cut up. It was the record that I just HAD to get right ya know what I mean...

That record was Ain't no half stepping by Heatwave.

I worked on it until I got that break down tight. Then I mastered what we here on the VDJ forums would call flipping doubles.

Ain't no half steppin......Gotta di it good....
Ain't ain't no no half half steppin steppin.....

Ahhhhh the good old days.

1st tables I owned were OLD techs and if i'm not mistaken the model, they were B1's with the straight arm and the VERY LARGE and THICK platter.

I'll never forget watching Spoonie Gee at a club on White Plains Rd. in the Bronx and seeing the DJ doing it for the crowd. I'll never forget seeing kool Herc and Flash and Theodore rip it up. Flash used to do all these tricks like cut it up handcuffed or spin behind his back.

Oh wooooow.

I really am old huh? I never believe it when my 16 yr old son tells me that I'm the coolest old man he knows. LOL

no i figured out vista = quickest solution was to throw computer in cement mixer full of magnets. it actually worked with less aggravation.
 
Okay, I'm really going to show my age here one this one. I would say when I was around 9 or 10, I had no turntables, but a double tape deck was all I needed. I started doing edits, loops, and stutters by recording from one deck to the other and just pausing the music on the record deck at the right time. (Kinda hard to explain at 4:00am) Tedious, but the results at that time were awesome for a 10 year old! Little did I know how valuable that skill would be later on in my music career! It was much like a poor man's reel to reel edit. (without the razor blades!) That did help me a lot in learning how to edit on reel to reel. (And I don't miss it one bit!)
 
I used to do alot of that duel cassette mixing when I was a young-un, making mix tapes for friends. Big fun.
Still haven't gotten into the TT's.
 
My Son at the age of 1 to 4 year.

He has some skills allready..
