WOW! We made it through 1 1/2 hours; our first recorded set together. Lucca selected and dropped all the tracks... we worked the EQ's and effects together... side by side the whole set! Btw, Lucca is only 7 years old, my wonderful son, and has been Djing since he could hit play for the first time. I hope you enjoy this as much as we did. This is the first of a lifetime of collaborations with my son. XO
