Play Along today in our LIVE Of The Floor Video Viewing Contest. Join US as we try to listen to 93 seconds of Chris International mixing his magic and masterfully flipping 45's into and out of rotation all while laying down a sick beat in what was the debut video in our new CKCU Live Off The Floor series. Set your start curser at the 3:00 minute mark and wait for host Jeff to count us in. The question you must answer in the comments is as follows: Including the 45 that is tracking at the beginning of the 3min mark, how many 45's does Chris International use in his mix over the full 93 seconds we are sampling? Leave your answer/guess in the comments!
Here is the link to the Chris International Live Off The Floor video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K1FiXA2_BpY&t=372s (Start watching at 3:00 and finish at 4:33 for the contest)
