My name is Allison, I am the wife of DJ Scooter...... I met DJ Scooter when I was 19, when we were both embedded in the NYC club scene, in the early 1990's. At that time, he spun vinyl, as did every DJ, an art long since lost....personally, for myself, I was never as much about the music as about the good time and experience. If you were at places like Tunnel or Limelight you can probably imagine where I am coming from....as the years progressed, we married and I began my career with the law....having long since abandoned my "love" of house or trance..as well as my true love of club drugs. During the mid to late nineties we watched countless friends who were once all about the "music" die, become incarcerated, struggle for a place in society, etc. At 36, at this time, I would never dare step foot in a NYC club as I feel I am long past my NYC club expiration date and that there is no longer a "scene" in anyway, shape or form. Some of our old friends, the vinyl DJ's of yesteryear, still are struggling today to regain their place in this "scene." Why any of this matters is my husband has never, ever once stopped LOVING the music or the art of DJing.....as the years have gone by while bookings may have changed his love and his passion for the music has remained if not grown. He is as genuine as a person/DJ as they come. He has adapted and made the transition from vinyl to digital....he plays music every single day....he does it because he LOVES IT. Can any of you understand that? He is just trying to get another shot at what he LOVES doing..... bring the hate on his mixing skills or your dislike of the music he plays..... think about the history and evolution of electronic music. It came about based upon love, understanding, friendship, open minded free thinking......it was never, nor should it, be a popularity contest. Are the coolest most talented dj's of this forum the ones with 1,000 posts? Again, my understanding from all of the dj's I came to know in our former life was it is or suppose to be ABOUT THE MUSIC....when you pass judgment on anything but THE MUSIC, you discredit the music, and yourself as fellow DJS.
