The Skate Video DJ

My love of records drove me to create Full Jacket the album experience.

Influenced by trips to New York City and Tropical Islands, I started my vinyl collection in the 80’s with my mother’s tall stack of 45s from the Bronx. I select and blend Reggae, Funk, Disco, 80’s with both rare and classic Hiphop records. I have played in Phoenix, Tucson, NYC, Brooklyn, D.C. and Montreal.

Selecting and hand mixing NYC skate video soundtracks with my two Technics 1200s and a Vestax 07-Pro, has been the pinnacle of my experience behind the turntables.

My all vinyl skate video soundtracks also happen to coincide with the beginning of the current resurgence of vinyl records. Hence the need to include the back of the record.
