Gear Here is some of the equipment I've managed to scrape up over the past few years and find use for. Any of you thinking about becoming a DJ or a producer should think twice. Getting into it can be compared to a drug addiction; you spend all your money on it, you can never get enough, and it effects all those around you. A lot of the content is currently being moved around and recreated in this section. You can still reach the old version of the site here.
