Party rockin' since the late 80's!
I've had the for about a month now but maybe got 2-3 days of test tone routine practice. Here is my review!
I test out my two best known test tone routines on the Pioneer DDJ-REV7. I've only had the controller for a month and after initial setup and accessory procu...
Q-bert once referred to me on a video interview as "...this guy comes out, and he has a whole book of test tones..."
While, at the time, I don't know if it qualifies as a "book" per se but, I just did a little inventory down memory lane. What test tones have I performed IN PUBLIC and when/where was it debuted. I believe my count is at 22.
If there is a particular one you want to know when and where I first showed it, comment here.
Hopefully I can put up a video detailing all but till then, ask away!
More footage of me testing out the Pioneer Cross 12's pitch range for test tone skatches:

Finally got a chance to try out the Pioneer Rev-7 controller while at the SKRATCHPAD social during DMC weekend. Really liking it! - Photo by Jeff Straw
Also, gotta rep the 49ERS with the t-shirt!
Trying out the test tone range in the new Pioneer Cross 12!
Another historical night with legendary turntablists and champions in the house! Great meeting others for the first time, reuniting with old friends and trying out Pioneer's new turntable!
Big thanks to the organizers, Skratchpad and Pioneer!
Congratulations to the winner of DMC World, defending champion K-Swizz from New Zealand!
And of course a special thank you to Christie Zee for organizing the event. Your hard work is so greatly appreciated!
So many legends and celebrity DJ's in the house not to mention future ones at that! I was not able to meet with some of you but hopefully if you are still in town we might get a chance!
So many DJ legends up in the house!
Which hat should I wear to DMC tonight?
Kangol to go for that old NMS look, or 8-Ball cap like my DJ tour days?
Who else is going to DMC World Finals in SF next week? Holla and hope to meet up with some legends and peers!
That time I was on the Shiggar Fraggar Show with Q-bert and Disk.
Did my test tone skratches starting at about the 30:18 mark.

Going to the Niners game today for my bday! Question is, which jersey do I go with!?
I remember one time I practiced starting late at night until almost sunrise! Didn't even notice the time going by! Just absorbed in getting the trick down! Anyone else?
This event is gonna be dope!
Never actually posted this. Let's see who remembers!
Wow! For the first time the DMC WORLD finals are coming to the Bay! We've had West Coast and even US finals here before but finally the actual world! Always wanted to be in attendance as I the furthest I ever advanced was the US finals (1992). This is a definite can't miss for any turntablist in the Bay Area! Can't wait!

So what does the Pioneer acquisition of Serato mean for the future those of us that have Rane controllers and mixers etc?
Concerned as I was already looking to sell my Rane Twelves and now concerned DJ's would think of them as dead inventory?
Thoughts?
30 years ago today, my crew won a bay area DJ crew battle. It was a much more massive event than we expected with a total of 4 mobile DJ crews battling it out with full sound, stage and lighting setups and 15 minute mixes.
My partner and I took weeks to prepare a 4 turntable mix ( a big thing back in those days) with him doing a majority of power mixing and me taking on all of the skratching and tricks.
This roughly was about a month
before I would go battle in the 93 NMS.
In addition to the 4 crew battle there was a solo battle of about 8 turntablists including non other than D'Styles.
15 minute set that me and my crew Sound In Motion did at the 1993 Battlezone Showcase battle in San Jose, California.
2 years ago today I held you for the last time. The night before you, sat on my lap as I played Tekken. At the end of the night I carried you upstairs to bed and reiterated how much we love you. Our morning walk was cut short when you suddenly didn't feel well. And later that night I cried so loud in the emergency vet parking lot holding your body in my arms. How I wish you were still here with us and able to play with your new younger brother. You two would probably play for hours because just like you, you never gave up playing tug. We miss you and love you so much. Happy crossing anniversary Truffle baby. Your light shines forever in our hearts. ❤️
Happy National DJ Day!

Did this routine for Vestax in Tokyo and was also my first trip to Japan.
Back in the day with my crew Sound In Motion before my NMS title.
