A former DMC winner and now DJ with Moby, ‘RJ’ visited the PLASA Show to stop by Lamba plc who provide him with his Stanton SK2F mixer and 650L cartridges. During a break from touring RJ, who has been working with Stanton products for the last year or so, explained how he received the phone call from Moby - who had heard a number of RJ’s remixes - and asked him to leave the studio world for a life on the road. "He had another DJ at the time, Spinbad; but he had other commitments and I went straight out to play in front of 70,000 people at Glastonbury, with no soundcheck, before embarking on a world tour."

Three months before everything was confirmed he started putting his rig together. "Equipment wise I had been looking for a pair of turntables with the straight tonearm philosophy since I won the DMC competition back in 1985, while for the mixer I chose the Stanton SK2F." Featuring an all silver body with a blue anodised aluminium Protekt panel, the SK-2F is been fitted with the latest generation Focus Fader, a true digital optical crossfader designed by DJ Focus and the OS2 optical scratch switch. It is the first mixer to utilize this technology.

Lamba plc’s Paul Bierton confirmed that with the likelihood of RJ spending an increasing amount of time Stateside, an agreement has been set up with Stanton Magnetics, who will provide full back-up for the DJ while working in the US. In fact Moby will shortly be heading off for brief touring seasons in New York and Tampa.
