Meh, might as well share mine while we're at it... I grew up with a father obsessed by music. He purchased his first vinyl at 13 back in the 60s, even worked in a vinyl store in the 70s. As long as I can remember, we always had one room dedicated to the sound system and his impressive collection of 50s, 60s, 70s and 80s 33 and 45 rpm vinyls. We always had 2 turntables which never ran at the same time. Come the 80s, in my teen years where I myself started haunting vinyl stores and purchasing NME and other UK based electronic music based magazine with various articles of a new popular musical style from Chicago called "house". Started collecting house vinyls at a time where only a few knowledgeable people seemed interested in acquiring it ( and where vinyl store clerks were calling it Montreal's next musical revolution ) aside from the gay village who were eating house up like it was sugar-coated candy. After reading about it countless times, I fired up both Technics tables at the same time and started trying to mix tracks, much to my father's absolute confusion as ti what I was trying to achieve. After a while and with enough experience, he saw what I was trying to accomplish and was impressed and amazed that it could even be done to begin with. Then I totally started hogging the tables and sound system every day of the week after school aside from sunday which were reserved to my father and his weekly listening of everything from Elvis to disco. A few years of vinyl collecting made it so that I knew every vinyl's clerks by first names and the other way around. For an aspiring DJ, there isn't anything cooler than a store clerk setting plates aside for you during the week without your knowledge and having them take the stash out from under the counter just for you. It was utterly awesome. Finally started raving and after another few years of friends pushing me to do it, was booked by a promoter friend to play at his party and ended up playing in raves for about 5 or 6 years. Then I grew older and because of work, stopped raving but I still spin regularly in my basement. Even purchase Traktor Scratch Pro 2 a week ago and struggling with this new technology. I don't think I'll ever be able to stop spinning, it's the worst addiction ever... one I will never go to rehab for. :) awesome =) that's cool that you followed in your dad's footsteps, but you took it to the next level. must be nice to have parents so deep into records like that. it's funny how most DJs way back when never tried to mix two records at the same time =) seems so elementary now, but it must have seemed a pretty weird concept for DJs who came up in the 60s and 70s |

 Coolness: 139995 | mom jokes aside, i've always loved music ( used to hate techno when i was a teenager though ). starting raving 16years ago but never thought about being a dj even though i was always in the dj booth everywhere i went. Someday i went to a clothing store on st-laurent ( forgot the name but it's closed now ) and on the other side there was a record store called Tabou or Taboo... I can't recall...
Anyway, i've listened to some acid techno and beatmatched without wanting to and after i decided to be a dj ( really fn shitty at 1st hehe ) It's not the best reason in the world but now it'S really for the love of techno ( mostly all styles ) that im doing it today! |

 Coolness: 159060 | Was Taboo Disques ever on St-Laurent ? I remember it being on Ste-Catherine St though.
The last record store I recall that had clothing store across the street was Aritmetik on St-Denis which had Mode 2010 across the street, a famous raving clothing store. :) |

I remember it close to Bleury but at 372 Sainte-Catherine West ( [ maps.google.com ] ), on the second or third floor to the left up the stairs. Used to be a big complex of commercial lofts. It's now called the Musée d'Art Comtemporain du Belgo ( wtf ? ). Then it was at or somewhere around 1312 Sainte-Catherine West ( [ maps.google.com ] ) in the basement down a very narrow flight or stairs ( with the glass door to the right ). It's gone now since Le Chateau moved in. |

I actually forget which door it was now, but I think it was the one on the left, of that green building... [ maps.google.ca ] |
