This wasn’t just a performance—it was a statement. Cristian’s setup featured a mix of SL-1210MK7 and SL-1200MK7 turntables, creating a dynamic playground for layered rhythms, seamless transitions, and deep analog textures. His six-deck configuration is a bold homage to the roots of DJing, executed with futuristic finesse and unmatched precision.
