Reggaeton Mix

In the summer of 2000 David-E decided to take care of his roommate’s turntables, records, and mixer. At the time he was pursuing another hobby other than video games. His roommate Gabriel left to Chicago and left behind a collection of Latin Freestyle records. David-E began to experiment with the Radio Shack mixer and the art of beat matching on the turntables. For about 2 months, David-E developed a top record bin of records to show Gabriel his interest for playing records in the dorms. Gabriel was impressed on his style of selection and began to teach David-E on beat matching, bars, and phrases. David-E instantly feel in love with the feel of vinyl being broadcasted and disturbing his neighbors. By Labor Day of 2000 David-E bought a set of turntables and called himself DJ Essay. He developed a passion for dance music under trance, house, techno, and drum and bass by attending local shows with Texas talent. The Austin dance music scene from 2000 to 2002 influenced DJ Essay to build 4 record crates of vinyl to DJ in Texas.

In 2002 DJ Essay moved back to California and incorporated his love for music on the mobile side as a disc jockey. Customers were requesting Top 40 so DJ Essay began to venture into new equipment and CDs to build a new passion towards dance music in general.
