It seems DJ Techzi wasn't the only one who picked up DJ's unconventional style of spinning the decks.

Problem is the people who will judge u negatively as a Dj have never been behind the Dj Booth and have no idea what a mixer looks like at the back. Mixers differ. I was also told I play mixtapes until I invited some people to my home. #RespectTheDj
