Altair is relatively new to the DJing world and, until recently, could barely say that he had his own equipment: Two ancient Stanton STR8-80 turntables that had been handed down more than once, complemented by a 2-channel Behringer mixer that had seen better days.

However, in early April of 2009, Altair began to reap the rewards of a B Sc in Computing Science, and purchased himself two Pioneer CDJ 400s and an Allen & Heath Xone:42 mixer. Needless to say, this was a substantial improvement over his previous gear.

No longer reliant on external equipment, Altair is now able to expand and refine his DJ skills on a more regular basis. As a result, mixes by Altair are now released far more frequently.

Previous to acquiring his new gear, Altair spun primarily using traditional, good old-fashioned vinyl, and his modest record collection grew slowly, limited by a lack of funds. With his new CDJs, which also function as MIDI controllers, Altair has begun the transition into the digital DJing world, and only occasionally returns to vinyl while visiting friends.

Equipment Used:
- 2 Pioneer CDJ 400s
- 1 Allen & Heath Xone:42 Professional DJ Mixer
- Sennheiser HD-25 Professional DJ Headphones
