How DJs Loop Drum Breaks with 2 Records
The earliest Hip Hop DJs did some very creative things with the technology at hand. Before we had samplers or could set up a loop and hear it repeat indefinitely, we made our own loop using two copies of the same record. I demonstrated how this was done at a special class visit recently. You…

DJ The Hammer (Guest Mixset and Interview)
I visited DJ The Hammer’s home studio and we tag-teamed this edition of Word is Bond Rap Radio. I learned how he got his name and it seemed obvious as he smashed his set. He might as well have been wielding a sledge hammer as he crushed it. I wanted to see him mix some…

Wedding DJ Video Shorts (Pt 2)
I share videos on TikTok regularly but I know that there are a lot of people not on that platform, so I started this feature to share some of that content here. First up today, a video from my first wedding of the year and a 90s request that lit up the dancefloor. Then you…
