Bought my first pair of decks (JVCs) in 1984 aged 12 with paper round money.
Technics came a year or 2 later.
A veteran of Freestyle '85, UK Fresh '86, Spats hip hop club, a few summers raving, Club Labrynth, Rage and much else besides.
I love breaks, beats, pianos, horns & hoovers.
Still buying vinyl and always will.
You could say I'm old school, or just old.
