Artist usage
Add artistMentioned in this June 2000 DJ Times interview. It can also be seen in this 1998 MTV DJ battle with Grandmaster Flash at 3:27.
DJ Times: What’s your stage-show set-up?
Jay: I use the Technics 1200s and have been for a long time. But I’ve been working on those Vestax [PDX-a2S] turntables, the ones with the two stops on each side. You can stop the record from both sides. Since I left the DJ Expo in ’Frisco I’ve been messing with those new Vestax. I tried them out and liked them. When I got home, I got a couple. And I’m working with them tonight for the first time. For what I do in the show, I always have to chase that stop button. That part is eliminated with these. They’re really sturdy. They’re perfect for me.
DJ Times: And your mixer?
Jay: I’ve been messing with those Vestax 05-Pros or the 07. I like them both, but the 07 is better with the crossfade, the couple of reverse functions and the three-band equalizer for certain parts of the show. I don’t go through a tricks stage, besides a little backspinning and scratching our names. I backspin my name, but I’m not a trickster DJ.
More tools. The fraternal Vestax 05 Limited twins. One for touring and one for the studio. The blue one was my companion during the early Long Beach Dub Allstars tours. The Yamaha Birch Custom Absolute blue sparkle kit is in the background.
