Where do I start? Mrs works in the home 4 days a week and once a week has to take the FL Brightline into Miami and what normally is a 10 hour day from home turns into a 14+ hour day getting back and froth from North Palm Beaches area . End of 2023 and Start of 2024 we were getting back out and frequenting bars/clubs that feature EDM mainly House and 90's vinyl, Mrs decided to purchase 2 Technics 1200s from about '02-'03 era and that's important because those were made in Japan vs current China editions, you can YT it but there's a major difference and that leads me to a side story....
-In the early mid 90s as I have posted, Mrs and I use to run/promote nightclubs all over Central FL between Tampa/St Pete and Orlando
That was our world from about '92-'96 during the high point of the FL rave scene
We grew up on vinyl records, these Pioneer CDJs were not around when we were closely involved
-Mrs buys a couple turntables and I say nothing, she starts collecting vinyl records from when we would go clubbing and I just nodded and didn't ask a lot of questions, this is a big escape for her from the real time job and she isn't trying to make money or take paid gigs, she just wants to have fun. I don't blame her for a single second, and just FTR: we're both 50 yrs old, ancient!
So the record stores here where she has been gobbling up vinyl and tunes, they have a women's only event for breast cancer awareness month (Mother MoP passed away from this '95 so it's near n dear to my heart)and Mrs MoP immediately signs up for a time slot much to my dismay, she just started learning how to mix records
The night of the event, I proudly carried her record case full of 90s vinyl into the club, and yes I helped put the set together from our home studio she's built.
There were a lot of folks dancing while she was mixing, why that shocked me but it did.
I started dancing with them and I even met a woman who had just had a double mastectomy, had to be careful when we hugged each other.
I was kinda shocked to see my wife carry this out all the way.
I tried not to raise an eyebrow when she started buying equipment and I'm glad I didn't. I'm proud of her for finding an outlet
Have no idea where this is going but it's a nice side hobby and we have been reconnecting with many former DJs from the 90s era we grew up on
It's something the Mrs and I can come together and enjoy with each other
We both spin records and mix, we are forming our own entertainment LLC so we can write off some of this equipment
She just had a XONE 96 (ZONE - don't mispronounce it) delivered to the house, look that up on Sweetwater, her hobby is gonna drive us broke but in the meantime its fun
-No MoP BS on this, I was totally turned on watching her spin records and watching people from all walks of life looking over the tables
Looking to see the records she was spinning and dancing simultaneously
Cheers Everyone!
