It was fun opening for the Triple Threat DJs (Apollo, Shortkut, and Vin Roc) on Saturday. We had some technical difficulties early on, so we didn't really get a whole lot of time to spin, but I got some nice pics. Here you can see the ridiculous quantity of gear on stage - three Technics 1200s, two Pioneer CD decks, one Akai sampler, a laptop, two Rane mixers, and two Vestax mixers. I'll post some more pictures later, but I thought you'd all like to see this one...

Apollo was working the Final Scratch, and apparently he's been designated the official spokesman of the trio because he did most of the talking. I was surprised to see the CD decks, but they made the absolute most out of the decks by compiling all of their scratch samples and drum breaks in order on the CDs, which allowed them to be unbelievably tight in the transitions. After about 45 minutes of fun, they each stepped up and did solo routines. Apollo first, then Shortkut, and then Vin Roc. Vin Roc absolutely killed it during his solo routine. I guess he's a back to back champion for a reason. You could see that he was having fun; and he pulled off some tight body tricks. I'm absolutely going to have to work on my juggling now...
