WeвЂ™d jump from Boston into вЂњLove Hangover,вЂќ shit like that. We would do covers of rock and disco tunes, believe me, it was funny. We would do block parties and stuff like that. And then we started playing breaks, and the more hip hop-oriented вЂ“ I mean itвЂ™s funny to say hip hop-oriented, because there was no such thing as hip hop at the time вЂ“ but the stuff that works for hip hop like вЂњDance to the DrummerвЂ™s Beat,вЂќ and we started rhyming and all of that.ДЄt the same time, right around вЂ76, вЂ77, when I had just left high school, a friend of mine, Tony Flemings, was a drummer, and he started a rock band. But in вЂ77 not long after Jam On Productions was formed, hip hop was coming down strong in Brooklyn, and everyone was taking on a name like вЂњMaster B,вЂќ вЂњFrankie D,вЂќ and so forth, so I cut my name short to Cosmo D. My first name that I took, I had a comic book character that I created as a kid called вЂњCaptain Cosmo,вЂќ and one of my favorite records was El CocoвЂ™s Mondo Disco. People wanted to hustle to the disco, and people wanted to party to the funk. When we first started out we were spinning funk and disco, because thatвЂ™s what was really happening in Brooklyn. What kind of stuff were you spinning back then? So it was 1977 when Dave joined and took MoniqueвЂ™s place that we became Jam-On Productions. And the next summer, my cousin Monique, she was going to go away to college, so we got my best friend Dave, who grew up in Park Slope with me.

But by the next year we moved on up to Technics SL-23s, which are the best belt-driven turntables ever made period, and thatвЂ™s what we really learned how to spin on. No pitch, no strobe вЂ“ we didnвЂ™t know nothing about pitch and strobe anyway. Our equipment was nothing special: a BSR turntable and a Gerard turntable. We grew up as brothers and sisters, basically. It started out with my cousins Monique and Pete Angevin.
