(Different interview)
Troy- Alright once you, Baron and The Funky 4 m.cs were established I know the system was called the Mighty Sasquatch but what was in that unit of the Sasquatch?
Baron- We had a GLI, 38 mixer. Everything was top of the line.
Original Sasquatch GLI 3880 Mixer
Breakout- What was the turntables…S…
Baron- …SL 1500’s. We had Altec speakers. And some double 15’s
Breakout- And some gauss speakers.
Baron- BGW power amps, all BGW systems.
Troy- How did ya’ll know to buy this beautiful type of equipment? Check it out you know cats were taking pieces here and there all over the Bronx but then you had guys like D.J. Plummer who actually worked at an audio store, so he knew a lot about equipment. So how did you guys know about it.
Baron- I was a system head then and I am a system head now. I went to parties downtown like Nell Gwen, Superstar Cafeteria. I went to all those clubs downtown and that’s how I knew. I use to go to Harvey Sounds downtown in Times Square on 45th street.
Breakout- But do you remember Altec’s, we went there and got the garbage cans.
Baron- Nah the garbage cans came from me getting the Discotheque magazines. From there we went to see this white boy on 15th street and 6th avenue. They were selling the BGW’s, that’s where we got the 750’s. Donnell was getting the money from Breakouts father. So we went downtown and this white boy had these garbage cans with some Gauss speakers in them. Sorry to say we never took a picture of that. The museum would have paid a ton of money.
Breakout- I know the first time we got them we went to Boston Secor projects and we played against these guys known as Aaron and Leo. They played on one side and we played on the other. So we go, “Testing one two and they go one two.” So we said, “Are you ready” and we played We will Rock you by Queen. We tore that s— up. Then I played Paradise is very nice. The speakers were going crazy, we tore that place up
