“From that moment, I decided to come up with a science that would allow me to have full control to manually edit the beat. I came up with the science called the Quick Mix theory. It consisted of me having to do something that DJs at the time never did: placing my fingertips on the vinyl. I was ridiculed for a long time. I was told that I ruined needles, ruined styluses, ruined records, and also that placing my fingers on the vinyl was something DJs never did because I’d make the record filthy. But I knew that I had to do it to have full control over the vinyl.” —

related trivia: muxing (which is short for multiplexing) is a term used to refer to a process where multiple analog message signals or digital data streams are combined into one signal over a shared medium. When you work with video you mux audio and video channels to get one thing like a quicktime file.
