A few of you have reached out and asked me what equipment I use to DJ. My DJ equipment has evolved over the years. I went from using a simple mixer to turntables. Eventually, I transitioned to a DJ controller that allows me to get creative with the vibes I want. Without further ado, check out the gadgets and gizmos I use during my DJ gigs and practice sessions.
As 2022 wraps up, many of us begin to reflect on the events of the past year. To keep up with the tradition on this blog, I share with you my reading list:
A few days ago, I was skimming through my planner and realized that I watched a lot of dope animated shows this year.

It has been a month since I had to help you cross the rainbow bridge. Letting you go was one of the hardest decisions I had to do in my life.
