Cannot believe it was 10 years ago - the last show of Lesson Zero Radio Show on Tilos Rádió

Klayman is a music addict since the age of 13, when his cousin (who worked in New York by that time) infected him with electronic music. As a DJ he first popped up at little house parties, but suddenl

...

Alright! Stacey Hale slipped me this photo of us together from the 1980s. Taken at a club called “Cheeks” in Detroit. Along with DJ John Collins, I had a residency there. This was a time when a DJ would play for 5-6 hours and really had to know how to pace an audience so, we had to have more than just the hits. We needed to be walking libraries of music!

Looking from what i was wearing, it must have been earlier in the night before the night really got started.
I think she was in college at the time. Photos like this was rather rare because the only people that carried around cameras were local photographers that were hired by the club. These photographers would go around the city, from club to club taking photos which had to be taken later to a local camera shop to be developed into a physical paper photograph. So, this must of been generated from either a scan or from the 35 mm film.

I first seen Stacey play at a venue called the Leland House when I was in High School. Sometime around 1979 or 80. She, along with a few other DJs around the city were quite responsible for the direct influence on many DJs we know from Detroit today. It was quite routine to visit a DJ in the DJ booth and just watch and listen the whole evening. This photo must have been taken around 1982 or 83 and was also around the time when younger DJs like myself were being taught and mentored.

Before dance music really exploded in Europe, American DJs were (socially) much closer together, almost like a family. There was a mutual respect that came with the art form of playing music to the local public. For instance, it was important to know what the DJ played before you so that audience doesn’t hear that same thing too soon. Or, how long ago did they slow it down to allow people to get drinks or take a break from dancing. We competed with one another, but shaking hands or hugging one another when we made these transition was like passing the baton.
We all used to work together and we knew it.

Just slightly different audiences but it hasn’t changed.

A week away ❤️‍🔥

Hashtag vinyl, hashtag eclectic, hashtag szinergia: Klayman és jaffa surfa külön-külön is nagy utazásokra bír vinni a house ötven árnyalatában és annak további peremvidékein, együtt viszont pláne.

Most már tíz éve annak, hogy összeállogatnak a dj-pultban, "mert a nulladik naptól működik a kémia" - mondják, hozzátéve, hogy egyébként kiszámíthatatlan, mi fog történni, mert sosem terveznek előre. Ilyen szempontból nagyon is itt a helyük Inotán, és nagyon is érdemes megvárni, mi sül ki a két lemezjátszóista újabb koopjából.

Hashtag vinyl, hashtag eclectic, hashtag synergy: separately, Klayman and jaffa surfa can take you on great journeys through the fifty shades of house and its further fringes, but together they can take you on even grandiose ones.

It's been 10 years now since they first teamed up in the dj booth - "because the chemistry has been working from day zero", they say - adding that it's unpredictable what will happen because they never plan ahead. In that sense, they're very much at home on Inota, and it's well worth waiting to see what comes out of the two turntablists' latest co-op.
