Analog DJ Tools 101, via 7" vinyl, 12" singles, and LPs. Guest Music 2309: Beats, Rhymes and Life class at Lincoln Hall. One-hundred-and-five kids, all super bright, all born in the mid-'90s, meaning varied yet fundamentally limited relationships with records, but super curious and eager. I really enjoyed myself today.
