I picked up a pair of Denon DN-S1200s this afternoon. I’d been putting off buying new CD decks for a long while, but the gear I was planning on bringing to the benefit tomorrow isn’t in great condition, and the S1200s looked like a great option at the right price. My friend Mike Hodge, who […]

Big thanks as always to everybody who came to Disgraceland last night for Everyone’s a DJ – especially those who did a set. To tell you the truth, I was worried it would be a quieter night than usual, but we had a good crowd and great time. We also got to host a few […]
