From DJing to Beatmaking: Buscrates, A Pittsburgh Origin Story

Kalaj Dame sits down with the legendary Buscrates to trace a musical journey that began in the summer of 1986. Buscrates recalls his early days at the Dallas Club in Penn Hills, where watching the local icon Sly Jock on the turntables sparked a lifelong obsession with sound. From winning dance trophies just to get closer to the DJ booth to digging through his father's records as a toddler, his path was set long before he ever touched a sampler. The conversation explores the technical evolution of a producer, moving from the early influence of G-Man and the Ensoniq EPS to the industry-standard ASR-10.
