I grew up in East Germany, and we were short on technology. So my father was really proud to be the owner of a turntable.

I grew up around electronic instruments. To me, the turntable is an electronic device. At the same time, I had access to drum machines and keyboards through my uncle; then track recorders into computers. At an early age, I was messing with computers more than most hip-hop musicians.

We may be coming to a new golden age of instrument making.

There's individual turntable setups devoted to piano, bass, drums and a set for soloing as well. We like to try and explore the gamut of what a turntable can do.

I had a lot of what they call turntable hits. A lot of them.

At last a dream come true. The Instrument of Instruments.

Yeah, anybody can go in with two turntables and a microphone or a home studio sampler and a little cassette deck or whatever and make records in their bedrooms.

Pete Dj Jones was the first person that I saw with 2 turntables. This was 1972.

I was the little white kid who rocked the turntables.

The saxophone is a very interesting machine, but I'm more interested in music.
