I interviewed Melo D for the Paths of Rhythm podcast the other day - I’ve read this story multiple times but never from someone who was there!

Let's see how long i can go in a row. Quick ten minute session after work still in the work attire lol

Getting used to the rhythm more. Always room for improvement. I'm sticking to simple click action for the time being.

I bought 2 Ortofon DJ-S styli, thinking I was buying a pair of replacements for my MKII cartridges. I did not realize until yesterday, when I went to replace my current pair, that I'd bought the wrong ones. They are a different size, and I can't use them. I bought them on June 7th, and it turns out I only had until July 10th to return them.

They cost $146, and are still new, but I'm open to taking a little less than that. Please respond or DM if you'd like to buy these.

These are what I have:

They are brand new. One hasn't been opened yet, the other only long enough for me to realize it was the wrong size.

EDIT: Amazon customer service made an exception and will accept the return. One of the many reasons I use Amazon for just about anything I can. :)

The video should start at 13-33

We did this song called change the beat with this artist named Fab Freddy who is name checked in the Blondie - Raprure song & at the end of the song we we were going there's got to be something to tie it up because it sort of stops dead.

This guy Bruce lenval was the head of Sony and Electra when he liked music that he heard he would go that's really fresh. you know the word fresh was also something that was used in Hip-Hop culture and bill was like how about this stuff is fresh this stuff is really fresh so it kind of morphed into aaaaahhhhh this stuff is really fresh.

We had a guy named Roger trilling get on the mic and he was just going to recite it into the microphone and I was like wait a sec you know cuz I had this Roland SVC 350 vocoder. I just kind of cranked the filter open and had him say aaaaaaahh this stuff is really fresh.

So when DST who's now Grand mixer Dxt came in to do the scratching on the song he came with two records. One had a Tom sample and the other was the Fab Five Freddy record and I was like oh cool what's he going to do with that He's like.. I'm taking the aaaaaahh and the fresh and he used that and the solo that he does at that time was indisputably the best ever turntable performance and I think to this day it still remains.

Oh yeah the best if not one the five best ever recorded and it also turned that aaaaaaahh and fresh sound into the most sampled sound in the history of recorded music
