General Lee's DJ Master Class | the origins of going 'back to back' and looping on vinyl

Before you could just press a button, this is how DJs would 'loop'.

General Lee's back with another Master Class and this time, we're looking at how to loop.

It's pretty simple now, if you want to loop part of a track all you need to do is press a button, and boom - you're done. 

But before the days of CDJ's, back when you'd be spinning vinyl, it was a much more manual and expensive, thing to do. 

"years ago, we would have the same record on player one and the same record on player two," says Lee. 

And you'd go back and forth "it's what we would call going back to back", a lot different from what that means now.
