What they’re saying

“Recently, I went down to Charlotte and found and bought the legendary Technics MK2 DJ turntables that were made in Japan years ago. I found two turntables in separate flight cases. So, I will set up with one turntable on each side and a fader in the middle. The more research I did, the more I realized that no modern-day DJ turntable compares to the Technics turntables that were made in Japan back in the day.”

“I've literally been doing this since I was in junior high when I would be the one that would make mix tapes for the warmup for our basketball team. When I was in high school, I would make all of these mixtapes for friends and things like that. Ultimately, because my musical tastes are so diverse, I've been picturing dance halls in my mind when thinking about how I want to put together these Humpday Dance Parties together at Wild Craft Eatery.”
