History of the Bay Podcast Ep. 35: Mind Motion is a staple in the Bay Area hip-hop scene who's been DJing since the early 90s. For decades, millions of people heard him breaking classic records on the airwaves of 106.1 KMEL alongside Chuy Gomez. Before that, he came up in San Francisco as a dancer, graffiti writer, and party DJ. Mind Motion has been instrumental in getting almost every hit song from the Bay off the ground, and in this interview he shares his thoughts on the current state of radio, how rappers can network with DJs, and how DJs can have a long career.
