I like to use Traktor, and I use two turntables. I really like the Pioneer PLX-1000. The [Rane] TTM 7SL mixer, two microphones—one for the crowd, one for me. I bring about 4 terrabytes of hard drives, so now I put a good portion of my collection in there. I play festivals and large performances. That's what I do a lot these days, and it's pretty cool.

Gifted to the National Museum of American History.

This Technics brand turntable was made by Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd., in Japan. It is a SL-1200 MK2 model, serial number CG972F184, originally released in 1979 as a high fidelity record player for the average consumer, and was soon adopted by radio and club deejays. This model also became very popular with early hip hop deejays and was used by hip hop pioneer, Grandmaster Flash.
