Starting Out
At the young age of 13, DJ Vy started out using a pair of Gemini belt drive decks, accompanied by booming old Jammo speakers that seemed fit for an outdoor rave but served well in his friend's bedroom.
This experience marked a pivotal moment in his journey, with 187 Lockdown's "Gun Man" being the track that solidified DJVY's dedication to mixing.
As the 2step era took over, DJ Vy became a dedicated Garage enthusiast, regularly tuning into DJs like EZ, Jason Kaye (rip), Martin Larner, Dj Principal, KJ & Lombardo, Mike "Ruff Cut" Lloyd, DJ Spoony, Mikee B, and Timmi Magic.
DJ EZ & Spoony became DJ VY's go-to DJs for staying updated on the latest releases, and they would frequently play the latest tape packs to discover new tracks.
