Step it up 4/14/07




RADDAD
This past saturday I played out in front of the New York State capitol getting people fired up after marching there from washington park, all part of the nationwide Step it up event.I had originally planned to bring only records but grey skies and high winds had me sketched out about bringing my turntables outdoors with no cover . So for the first time I mixed straight from the laptop using a freeware application called djay and the not so free ableton live 5 . Besides it being very hard to see the screen outside during the day things went off fine. After several speeches I flipped on the beat for Herbal T and Theory
(who killed by the way) and called it a goodtime .
