human being , through using wrecking decks , or the musical factors to get there . So I ’ m always pushing myself on so many different levels , not to compete or whatever , it ’ s just I ’ m always intrigued by music . I ’ m intrigued by what you can do as a Hip-Hop DJ or turntablist with a recorded sound . You ’ re always experimenting , it ’ s almost as if you ’ re in a lab , you doing this you doing that . So now we ’ re on CDJs , we ’ re on controllers , we have effects , we ’ re doing all these crazy things , where back in the day we didn ’ t have access to all those things . So certain techniques , if you wanted to get to that point you had to actually go and produce it or edit it in a studio , but now the technology is allowing me to do that live . So I can take that manual skill and integrate it with what the laptops and new equipment has to offer , so it ’ s extra tools to get you from point A to point B and I ’ ve been sitting for like 10 to 15 years wondering how the heck I can get to that point and I never thought that day would come until digital platform provided those tools for me , so I ’ m always in that developing space trying to find new ways to get from one track to the other . The other thing is , when you talk about wrecking the decks , a lot people know me for being this Hip-Hop DJ , because my name came up through there and you know , I ’ ve always being endorsing the culture . Yes , fair enough but first and foremost I always want to tell the people … look I ’ m a freaking DJ , period , because before people knew me as Ready D the Hip-Hop DJ , and the guy on radio , you know with the competitions , back in the days I grew up playing disco music , reggae music , house music , acid house music , Chicago deep house , all that stuff . You know I played all that music growing up , as an individual in the scene . So if something ’ s good and it speaks to me , I ’ ll get on the decks and I ’ ll attempt to play it , and mix and do what I can with it . I don ’ t want people to go “ nah that bra is selling the show and there are some DJ ’ s that are just very basic in the terms of what they do technically , but they tell an awesome musical story you know . So for me personally I look at so many different aspects and elements and all these variables , for me personally that counts and I feel that where ever possible , that needs to be made available to the public and the listeners , and that ’ s one of the advantages of hosting a radio show , it ’ s having the opportunity to be able to do that for listeners , for the DJ ’ s and for the artist .
