Description: Using interviews with world-renowned and innovative hip-hop DJs, as well as technology manufacturers that cater to the market/culture, this book reveals stories behind some of the iconic DJ technologies that have helped shape the history and culture of DJing. More importantly, it explores how DJs have impacted the evolution of technology.

Review Quotes: There are lots of excellent books about Hip Hop and DJing [...] but none analyze turntablism as a cultural and technical practice from such a fresh and nuanced angle within and without as this book. It might be the only text you need on the subject.
(Roy Christopher, The Journal of Hip Hop Studies, Volume 4, Issue 1 2017)
