Started DJing back in '98 using a crap pair of belt drive decks, and progressed through the years to Vestax PDX2000's. Unfortunately, moving to a new town meant leaving a lot of stuff behind but I still had my laptop. Now I'm using a much more powerful desktop PC and DJ controller, so whilst I'm still using software, it's now mixed with proper hardware and I'm happy to report that I haven't lost my skills with vinyl.
