-- Rob Swift, The X-ecutioners
From the rapid-fire editing of MTV videos, to underground parties and world-famous clubs, DJs have altered the course of music and video, moved into new media, and turned our generation on its ear -- literally.

"We like to mix it all up and have a good time, a bit of a laugh."
-- Ben Dubuisson, Purple Penguin
Discover how they select their gear and choose tunes -- and pick up tips on how to mix.
