DJ Tony Touch is next to be featured on FUSE’s popular “Crate Diggers” series. In the episode, Tony goes through his early days coming into the game, where he use to work in downtown in Manhattan at a bank. Touch opens up being influenced by his mom bringing 70s vinyl’s back into her house, which she was an advocate for disco music.
He starts things off showing his favorite vinyl artwork of all time being Afrika Bambaatta & Soul Sonic Force “Renegades of Funk” released in 1983 which he purposely mirrored the concept and design for most recent album “The Piece Maker 3: Return of the 50 MCs.”
You can continue after the jump to watch the 10-minute clip which he goes through his large library (15,000 he says) and sharing a few stories on his experience in Japan finding a bootleg copy of “Capicu”, as well as his earliest gigs.
