In this episode Gordy talks about time travel and the history of DJing. He explains DJ Cool Herc’s impact on DJing as well as Grand Master Flash and Grand Wizard Theodore’s contribution.
Putting his application and video in the mail to Turbo Turntables Gordy talks a little bit about his place in DJ history and people’s brains having a melt down. You can watch Gordy’s audition tape at his website: www.djlightningrod.com
Gordy wanted to audition for a DJ competition that is happening in Detroit. He had a really clear vision of what he thought it should look like so I shot him Djing and doing some other things and then he helped me edit it. This is the competition video he is going to send in with his application. The competition is called Turbo Turntables. You can learn more about Turbo Turntables at www.turboturntables.com
Hello, I'm Warren Smith. I am a student at Quincy Institute of Technology and this blog is my independant study project for my portfolio class. This multimedia project is a documentary on my friend Gordy Debroka. He is an aspiring DJ who lives in the same town I do. This blog is called Cloud 9 Dreamtroniks because Gordy (AKA: DJ Lightning Rod) told me about this DJ set he was working on that has the same name. I thought it was a cool idea so I decided to use the same title for this project. I hope to post about one episode in this documentary about Gordy each week. I hope you enjoy the documentary.
