Drawing 16 was inspired by memories of vinyl records and friends. I identify yellow as a color that can signify friendship, among other things. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen most of my friends (years), but I still have my turntables, mixer and vinyl. They’ve brought me to pick up DJing again. I was a DJ from about 2004 to 2016, but mainly focused on journalism in that time, and never took DJing as seriously as many of the DJs I knew.
These days, I’m scouring DJ gear reviews and how-to DJ tutorials and I now know that some of the ways I learned to beatmatch and mix were the wrong ways to learn in the beginning. I’ve been mixing drum and bass vinyl exclusively to this point since picking DJing back up. Mixing drum and bass is challenging and rewarding at the same time, specifically on vinyl.
