Tap the stylus to drop the needle

Steve Scordellis

DJ since fifteen

It started on my brother's old vinyl decks and never stopped.

Where it began

I was fifteen when I first tried my brother's old vinyl decks. Beat matching by ear, a record under each hand, nothing on a screen telling you whether you got it right. You either landed the mix or you heard it fall apart.

That feedback loop is still the best part. Music is one place where I get to play instead of build.

On the decks

Vinyl firstTwo turntables, a mixer and a crate of records. Everything else is built on that.

Selection over tricksThe set is the point: what to play, when, and what to let breathe.

Still goingStill set up, still getting used.
