The art of DJ'ing has come a long way from its early days in the 80’s where style distinguished a DJ and technique was crucial.Today, DJ'ing represents being a part of that long and deep-rooted culture of hip-hop where style still distinguishes a DJ and technique enhances their skill and separates the good from the great. Mixing and scratching with vinyl is also a trait that is an art form in itself, which few DJ’s today know how to do and do it well. For DJ Ingwell learning this skill from an early age of 11 from his eldest brother, who also is a DJ, not only enabled him to learn the art of mixing but also created his love for hip-hop.

Throughout the years his eldest brother continued to teach him and his youngest brother the basics of scratching, along with being influenced by major turntablists such as DJ A-Trak, DJ Craze, and DJ Qbert further cultivated his understanding and passion for scratching and DJ'ing. Later on, mainstream open format DJ’s such as Vice, Z-Trip and DJ AM inspired Ingwell to mix more on a mainstream level that broadened his music stylistically and expanded his knowledge about music.

Now in the 21st Century with technology flourishing, programs such as Serato has enabled new generations to become DJ’s with ease. While the technology of Serato has made it easier to create mixes, the technique that past generations of DJ’s have mastered has been a lost art. DJ Ingwell recognizes the technological advances in Serato and appreciates the creative possibilities it has to offer but still manages to instill the old school techniques of mixing and scratching. The ability of integrating the past and future puts Ingwell above the rest when it comes to DJ'ing.
