My life as a DJ was short but fun. I started learning to mix at the original Rocketown in Cool Springs, then moved on to playing an early morning shift (like midnight to 3am) at The Underground in Nashville and playing 1 or 2 "raves". Back to Rocketown - we had a lot of hip hop kids so on Friday nights we'd start off with hip hop then move on to house music. We'd get records in from the regional DJ services and one of the best things we ever got was some instrumental records from Outkast's ATLiens. Totally forgot about that record. Slow, smooth, clean beats - just the boom, bap, high hat, the bass line and some guitars. This track features some cats from Goodie Mob at the beginning. I think I may cue up some ATLiens era Outkast today.
