Riggers

When Riggers swapped his out of rego, canary yellow '87 Sigma station wagon for a set of dodgy second hand turntables and a mixer the seed was planted and the addiction to electronic music was created. It was soon after; Riggers grabbed himself a new mixer, CD decks, speakers and a swag of tunes and began toiling away at his newfound craft.
