About Stav Mason
Born in Chiswick (London) 1976 , lived there and around London until the age of 6 when I moved to Southampton (Locks Heath). Started collecting music from around the age of 10, getting into Hip Hop, Rap & later Reggae. A few years on and started to become interested in electronic music, I started by recording stuff from the charts on Radio one on a Sunday in the late 80's. Tunes such as Steven Silk Hurley - Jack Your Body, Lil Louis - French Kiss & 808 state to mention a few. Around 1990 bought my first ever dance music record Orbital - Chime on FFRR on a 7". Acquired my first pair of decks at the age of 13, these were just taken off two normal HiFi systems from with no pitch control or anything and a £15 mixer from Tandy Electronics. We used to drop tracks and just fade them in and out of each other, to make continuous mix tapes, We soon learnt by watching YO MTV Raps, DMC videos and later that year DJ's in a club called Sterns that this was not how to do it. Now were 30+ years in :)
