Although he samples from records, that's the extent of his "DJing". Also by his own admittance, he claims to be a "gear-o-phobe". His beats are produced using a turntable and a sampling keyboard called the Ensoniq ASR-10. While it's a legendary piece of gear in the hip hop world, it's almost 20 years old, uses an outdated data storage system, and is generally unreliable. Although an amazing producer and an amazing album, Blockhead hardly makes use of any recent "technological advances". Just needed to set those things straight.
