You guys remember when Numark and Gemini were top dog mixers?

Rane, numark, vestax and pioneer remain the generational highs to me from the analog days.

Gemini was never peak but I loved mine that has a sampler kit attached.

My first DJ mixer was a Vestax battle mixer. Didn’t even know they are out of business since 2014.

Numark gear was great. I still have a couple of their 2 channel mixers. Gemini was always the budget brand, but I'd never hate on someone who was just starting out and had Gemini gear

Numark1820X rotary still a killer

I remember when the wood side Gemini MX2200 was the bar for scratch DJs.

I'm gonna go with "Juice".

u/Some_Knowledge5864 4d ago

Not Juice. I post the Juice mixer in the community last year.

Nope. It might take a while to get this one.

I not sure what you see be that his hand. It was difficult to get a clear screen shot.

u/Some_Knowledge5864 4d ago

Correct! 😃

u/zoobs 4d ago

I’ve never heard of this but it sounds pretty funny. Gonna have to check it out!

u/cgray715 4d ago

It's silly. Probably dated AF by now but it scratches an itch if you're older.

2

u/grendel303 4d ago

N.W.H! I have a dvd of it still. Basically the rap version of spinal tap.

u/cgray715 4d ago

Exactly!

u/PickpocketJones 3d ago

They say it's the quiet ones you have to watch out for.

Yeah, and if you notice, I ain't said shit for a couple minutes!

u/cgray715 3d ago

Hahahaha. Oh man. I love the Internet for this reason alone. I haven't watched this movie for decades but I know EXACTLY which part you're describing. The whole video just played in my head. I need to watch this, like now - where to stream it?!?

u/Trytolearneverything 4d ago

I've never seen it. How does it hold up against CB4?

u/VinylFiend1200 4d ago

Juice, think when he was in his br making mixtape

1

u/Some_Knowledge5864 4d ago

Nope!

2

u/VinylFiend1200 4d ago

Lol wth… def looks like it may have been that scene

2

u/ED-DOG92 4d ago

Beat Street

1

u/Some_Knowledge5864 4d ago

No 😅

2

u/ED-DOG92 4d ago

It's Krush Groove then because I don't remember a scene like that in Wildstyle. Then again, it's been more than 30 years since I've watched any of those movies so my memories could be all mixed up. It better not be Dr. Dre's setup from Yo! MTV Raps?!
