GrandMixer DXT is set apart from the rest of his colleagues regarding musical innovation by one simple fact. That fact is that DXT did much more than take a record and begin to scratch. In the early 1980's, DXT took the turntable and utilized it as a musical instrument. He was the first of the Hip Hop Pioneers to do so. He performed his innovative art-form on The Grammy Awards in 1984 utilizing Technic 1200 Turntables. His particular technique of altering pitch and sound on a record made his technique and style different than anything anyone had done in Hip Hop history. DXT's innovation changed how DJ's and musicians create and produce music, and also helped make Technic Turntables an industry standard by catapulting the brand into the spotlight. His latest studio work includes restoring the highly acclaimed Thelonious Monk Quartet with John Coltrane at Carnegie Hall, recently uncovered by the Library of Congress and now available on Thelonious Records, distributed by Blue Note Records. GrandMixer DXT's high quality of work and expertise met the high demands of the job that Thelonius Monk Jr required for this important project. While utilizing his clever ear, GrandMixer DXT employed a process that he invented called Forensic Editing(TM). This process utilizes the digital capabilities of today's technology to restore analog tapes of yesterday. His process nearly eliminates the tape 'hiss" and distortion that most analog tapes possess, without compromising the quality or integrity of the original recording.
