It all started in the fall of 1974... Pierre Gagnon and Jean Barbeau, two young DJs from Quebec, invested in a pair of Sony cassette decks and started experimenting with the pause buttons. Within a year the duo, guided by Pierre's drummer friend Allen Vallières who taught them musical theory, were creating primitive edits. Initially they were simply making one complete song from Parts 1 and 2 found on two sides of a 45. But as their timing improved and their imaginations wandered they began trying more complex chops; extending sections of songs, rearranging and repeating parts. One of their earliest edits made this way extended the intro to Esther Phillips "What A Difference A Day Makes" before dropping straight into the break. Sounds simple, but for its time was something of a revelation as they had no idea that DJs in New York were doing similar things on reel to reel recorders....
