Last Sunday I celebrated my first six months in Malta, and what better way to do that than to go visit my family in Sweden for the first time since then? My father always says that everything I do has an expiration date of six months because after that I lose interest in whatever it is I’m doing. So I went back to rub my tan in his face and tell him how much I still love it in Malta.

I started DJing about 15 years ago. My first setup was a regular home stereo where you would push a button in or out to jump between the vinyl player and the tape player. I used a flat piece of metal to wedge on the side of the button making it play the vinyl in one speaker and the tape player in the other. I would put erasers or coins on the needle to make it go faster or slower and with this method I could actually beatmix two songs.
