looking for some custom decks?

time for a little shameless promotion for my buddy chris.  he and i worked together for years in the custom car audio industry and did the unthinkable to everything from buicks to bentleys.  that “modifying” bug carried over to most everything else we were into.  computers, apartments, couches…you name it.  about 4 years ago he decided that my traditional 1200s were boring and needed a little “flair”…

covers were widely available for the 1200s but they fit wonky and looked cheesy.  lots of people stripped them down and painted the top plates.  after concurring that neither of those options sounded particularly appealing, chris had the crazy idea to take my decks all apart and wrap the tops in suede.  red suede to be exact.  the same red suede that they use in ferrari interiors to be precise.

so, after lots of trepidation and prep time, we undertook the project.  approximately 12 hours of work later, this was the finished product.

they were an instant hit when i started using them around town at my various gigs.  some dug the style.  others viewed it as an excuse to cover up my lack of skills on them.  somewhere in the middle lies the truth.  since then, a few other local cats have hit me up about modifying their decks. 

the homie DJ Tyme was the first to have his tables modified.  he went a little extreme and had it done with a zebra fur fabric.  here’s how it looked.

pretty wild.  crazy in person.  after that the homie Max Percy had his first set of decks done in a color scheme that he picked out.  he’s all about loud and flashy.  he wanted paint instead of fabric.  here’s his first set.

like most DJ’s, Max is a collector of turntables and picked up a 2nd set that he wanted modified.  this time he elected to go with a tiffany blue motif with upgraded white led’s and a custom painted white platter. 

they certainly met his criteria of flashy and loud.

if you want any more information about these or would like to have yours modified, hit up my boy Chris over at his website http://www.revolution-wi.com and talk to him about your options.

i really should start charging him a finder’s fee for new clients.
