In this 2011 interview with Redbull Music Academy, Madrid, DJ Spinn + DJ Rashad recounts some of the gear used in his early days:

DJ SPINN I’ve been dancing all my life. Me and him, when we met, we was like the same spirit, something divine or something. It was crazy. By the time we got to meet each other officially in ‘95 in high school, we’d already seen each other in parties and stuff. Then I got with him. He already had a drum machine, turntables at the house. I gave him a call. He was, “I’m over here mixing, man, you should come through.” “Damn, I’m working.” Working, I’m a young dude working. But I’m, “Man, this dude’s really got equipment? Wow! I’ve gotta get up with him ASAP!”

DAVIDE BORTOT What kind of equipment are we talking about? What drum machine?

DJ RASHAD At that time I had a Dr. Rhythm 660 and I had one Technics 1200 and a BD-12 Gemini, if you all remember that back in the day. Allowance money.

DJ SPINN Don’t forget the Gemini mixer with the sampler.
