“Songs that got me through high school. It was hard because since I knew it would be a lot, I originally was putting only 1 song per artist, but than I realized that there were certain artists that we’d just listen to over and over like PIL, Violent Femmes, The Cure, Schoolly D, etc. And we really discovered “new wave” in 1985 and would go back and buy the earlier albums from 1980/1981, so that might be confusing because I wasn’t in high school til ’83-’87. And soul/funk/disco was my music from the late 70’s til 1984 at which point I went full on electro, hip hop, new wave, and some punk, and reggae. starting in 1986, I got really into looking for breaks and making my own beats where I mixed in late 60’s / early 70’s stuff. Not sure if I should add that stuff in, but started to put a few in.

DJ/producer/label runner/bar owner/record collector, etc., truly a man in full. Young Chris, in the D.A.I.S.Y. AgeThere’s a ubiquity to his career, seemingly there for every phase of the game. Born just at the right time before the atom split for Hip-Hop globally, he has been inside the wave of it’s development ever since. The bio on Stones Throw site states that: “1979 was my “coming of age” year. I was nine years old and started getting allowance. What that translates to is: I started buying records weekly… Coincidentally, 1979 was also the year that hip hop records started to spring up at the neighborhood record store. It was mostly songs on an independent label called Sugarhill Records that made it to the West Coast.” He caught the bug early, as you can see in the photos he included here, was signed to a Disney subsidiary (that also included Organized Konfusion) smack dab in the golden age of Rap in 1991 alongside his friend Charisma whom was tragically killed so
