Get It? Got it? Good. | Episode 1 | Disk Jockey with DJ Skitz

On the second floor of a corner building in Koreatown, I met up with DJ Skitz, a seasoned Disk Jockey who was born and raised in Los Angeles. His love for music and the physicality of collecting and scratching with vinyl is abundant in his space, his sanctuary, his own personal house of music.

In the first room of his studio, there was an entire wall tiled with nostalgic album covers; everything from Jurassic 5, to DJ Kool, to Lauryn Hill, to Wu-Tang, to Mos Def and even the soundtrack to Training Day (a classic Denzel film).

Immediately, the vibe was clear as he talked with me about his first time on the turntables and how the progression of technology continues to maintain a borderless history for the legacy of deejaying. He values Serato just as much as the next rising DJ on Soundcloud today but it’s important to understand that you can’t have one without the other. Without crate digging, vinyl collecting and turntablism, where would the heart and soul of the best house parties dating all the way back to the 1930’s be today? How could seamless medleys of our favorite tracks be mixed and therefore unified without the original version of matching beats, relying on over-sized headphones and the excitement to cue the next track to play?

I watched his well-trained hands go from mixer to vinyl, mixer to vinyl, mixer to vinyl. He tentatively listened to the beats through his headphones and pulled out a new record each time to lay on the tables and bobbed his head back and forth, back and forth, back and forth. His mixes were like mini skits that told one large story. Then I remembered why he goes by the name of DJ Skitz.
