David Madrid:  

records. It wasn’t until the age of 4 that I was able to reach the turntable to slap on my favorite records for myself. In my early 20’s, I met a good friend Mike Gutierrez, he taught me the in’s and out’s – and the do’s and don’ts of beat mixing. It wasn’t long after when I started doing little gigs here and there for friends and family. I got good real quick and loved what I was doing. In ’96, I landed the biggest gig in my short lived DJ career, I became a resident DJ at “The O.P.”. It was known to have the best music and DJs in town. The energy was always high and hot and I was proud to be part of this phenomena. I felt powerful and invincible, knowing that it was me bringing the crowd to life. I was on top of the world when I was behind the turntables… I knew then, that THIS was my calling! I never drank nor did drugs, but if this is what being high felt like, I didn’t want to ever come down, I was addicted! It’s then, that I started to realize the true power and responsibility of the DJ. As a DJ, I learned that it is important to go into every set with a clear mind and with a good vibe. It’s also when I realized that I could transfer my internal energy to mass crowds of people through the needles on my turntables. It’s been a lifelong passion and dream of mine to become a known DJ . I hope to accomplish this very soon.".
