HUNKA MUNKA (TMS 1) - 5 MINUTES OF FIRE VOL 1 - MIX 1

1986 to 1989 best years the start of it 👌

Got into DJ'ing in the early half of the 80's.Originally i started off off life as a breakdancer but was also  drawn to the scratching element of the music.So,as one did back then,i cut out a slipmatt from an old pillow case and got to work on an Amstrad stack system.I couldn't use the volume control so had to use the function button to cut the sound.This gave it an Eric B style scratch,messy but it did a job.It didn't take long for the turntable to eventually die on me so i used anything that played records until i finally got my 1210's in the early 90's.
I'd constantly be chucking out mix tapes but unfortunately living where i did the want for hip hop wasn't there so i moved onto the club circuit.
I did that for a good few years but got bored as the crowd then was only into what was in the charts and i liked breaking new stuff so eventually i knocked it on the head and only did the occasional house party.
Many years later,by chance,i bumped into an old friend who told me about some software he used to mix on.I got it and started putting some mixes together.This was all cool but i got bored quickly just blending one track into another every 5 minutes or so so started doing mash up mixes.I figured if i was using a program to mix then don't do what i could do on my turntables.
I know many DJ's don't class this art of mixing as real DJ'ing and of course they are right but i use my many years experience as a DJ to make these mixes work.
I've had many mixes played on The Streetsounds radio show with Morgan khan and also been lucky enough to be asked to mix up some albums(turning them into minimixes for promotional purposes).
My preference is old school but i do mix modern music also,basically,if i like it i'll mix it.
If there are any record labels or artists out there wanting to put out a megamix type album then(or minimix) inbox me.If i can work with it i will work with it.
Big thanks to all my followers and always appreciate your comments and feedback,they are my payment for what i do...provided they're nice of course!! haha!!

"Prisoners Of Technology" aka "TMS 1"  Producer, Writer, DJ and Engineer   ………….. please be aware of any releases or remixes claiming to be "P.O.T" or "Freshkutt"  that are trying to earn kudos from TMS 1's earlier work.

Trans4mers have been playing out across the UK since 2006. We have held resident slots for Planet Breaks, Heal Festival & Fantazia. We have featured on the world famous Street Sounds Radio "5 Minutes of fire mix" and hold a monthly 2 hour slot on BreakFM. We are proud to have supported some great names over the years including Melle Mel & The Furious Five, Kurtis Blow, Jaguar Skills, Dj Yoda to name but a few. 

Trans4mers came 2nd place runners up in the world wide let's mix dj contest held by IDJ magazine. We have also been Nominated in the Best Dj category at the 2023 Shropshire Music Awards. 

We embrace Serato & Phase technology giving us the ability to play lots of classics in our set but we love to mash them up live - Pushing creative boundaries and bringing experimental mash ups to the dance floor. You never hear the same old thing as the last dj's played when we hit the stage. 

Super slick scratching and mixing has earned us props across the scene. We love dropping Old Skool Hip Hop, Nu Breaks, Jungle, 140 Breaks, Retro Electro, Drum&Bass and anything else we fancy... a bit of Frank Sinatra or Jefferson Airplane.. no problem! All sprayed with film samples, live loop mash ups and wacky sounds.
