Local Beats: DJStanB of Port Chester Spins House, Bachata and More

We discovered Port Chester DJStanB cruising around SoundCloud, a popular audio-sharing site. Take a listen to his music above and read about how he got into the DJ business below:

Patch: How did you get your start in music?

StanB: I was always into music and was very interested in learning and bought my own computer and mixer after seeing DJs in clubs. I started practicing in my basement with very little knowledge. A friend help me to learn basics of the program and from there I picked it up and practice every day, also having a full-time job working for Optimum/Cablevision.
