Beatmixing

From "Little" Louie Vega, David Camacho, and Tyrone Francis I learned about seamless beatmixing, using a so-called lollipop headphone for one ear and a monitor speaker for the other.

More than anyone else, it was Francis Grasso who made beatmixing a required skill for DJs.

In 1973, Knuckles and Philpot began working at the Gallery in SoHo, blowing up balloons and lacing the punchbowl with LSD for DJ and proprietor Nicky Siano, who pioneered the smooth beatmixing that eventually became the standard for dance DJs.
