DEBI
Born in Erie, Pa., DJ Debi spun local sock hops at the Y.M.C.A. in the early 1970's. She got her first paying gigs in after-hour bottle clubs just as Disco hit in 1974.
She migrated to Orlando and later Tidewater Virginia in time for the second British Invasion of New Wave in the early 80's. More after-hour clubs and Navy haunts spinning a mix of Latin Freestyle and Electro Punk. She landed in Cleveland Ohio in 1986 and found the Gay Club Scene was a great place to hang out and spin High Energy Club music. She now resides in Lakewood Ohio.//////////////////////////////////////////////////////

Making Of… "Octomnipent Zeitgeist" Medley
by Glenn Cattanach
To create the medley, Glenn Cattanach worked with two other DJ's - Greg Lee and Jeff McKeehan. Glenn owned all the equipment, and Greg and Jeff were local club DJ's in Lexington, Kentucky. The three of them had previously made two other medleys together - the "1984 Top 40 Medley" and the "Best of Hot Tracks 1984." Both medleys appeared on Hot Tracks during 1985, which was the 4th year for Hot Tracks.
Glenn, Greg & Jeff came up for the idea of a BIG two-part medley for 1985 and started work on it in October of 1985. Greg was really the mastermind behind the medley, being the one with most of the ideas, but the medley was a group effort. Greg reviewed dance charts and came up with the list of songs to include. They named the two-part medley "Octomnipent Zeitgeist" which loosely meant "THE Spirit of '85." These guys wisely kept logs on the entire project, noting the settings for the turntable speed, mix board levels, equalizer settings, tape speed, etc. This enabled them to later re-edit any part that needed perfecting.
All the work was done with two turntables, a ¼" track 15 IPS reel to reel recorder, a cassette deck with dbx noise reduction and a variable speed 7½ IPS reel to reel recorder. Digital recording was uncommon in 1985 and no samplers or effects (delay, reverb, echo, and no CD players!) and no multi-track tape recorders were used.
The key to the entire medley was what was called the Kentucky Multi-Track method (named that because they were living in Lexington, Kentucky at that time). They would record 8 to 16 beats of a percussion piece to use "under" the song being edited. They looped those beats by splicing a length of edited tape together, sometimes several meters long, and playing it repeatedly while recording that rhythm track to a cassette deck (with dbx noise reduction) for 3 minutes. They would then play that cassette back, mixing in the record/song they were adding to the medley with the rhythm track. To transition to another song, they would use the same rhythm track under the next song to make it sound similar to the previous song. Frequently, several rhythm tracks were sampled, layered and cross-faded. This method was often subtle and always effective. This way the songs did NOT sound like a bunch of turntable mixes that were simply chopped up and edited back together. They used more than 70 or 80 different "loops" or rhythm tracks for the entire medley.
Final preparations for "Octomnipent Zeitgeist" included breaking the 35 minute medley into two parts, adding mix breaks between the two parts, and adding a Wizard of Oz theme (since they were calling the separate parts OZ-I and OZ-II). The medley ends with a trickling ultra-high-speed voice-over describing the origin of OZ. Hot Tracks published the medley in January and February 1986 as Series 5, Issues 1 and 2.
The mix took 600 man-hours and over three months to complete. It was a labor of love for these guys. They figured out what they had spent on tape (remember, back then everything was on ¼" tape, no hard drive recording) and the vinyl records, they each made only about $40 US. They didn't care. They had created one of the best year-end medleys ever and were known by DJ's around the world./////////

You're A Total Maneater
You're a Total Maneater
Almost every guy that crosses your path ends up a little worse for the wear.
You see men as your playthings - and your motto is "So many men, so little time."
And while you're having fun, everyone is a little scared of you.
Your girlfriends are leery of your maneating ways. And most men find you downright freaky.

"DJANE" DEBI
Lakewood's "DJane" Debi has seen a lot of weird stuff in the 30 years that she's been working turntables. But nothing beats the 1998 UFO sighting during a smoke break outside the now-shuttered U4ia nightspot. "I looked up to the northwest and saw what looked like a comet or fuzzy star," recalls Debi, who spins every Saturday night at the recently opened Score sports club. "It got bigger and bigger [until] you could have probably fit 10 full moons into it. And it suddenly disappeared. I wish the government would come clean about people seeing UFOs and treat us more seriously when we report them."
ETs aside, Debi's path to Cleveland started in her native Erie in the early '80s, when she spun Top 40 tracks at an after-hours Italian joint before the cops busted it.
She then followed her then-husband to Florida and Virginia, where she played records in military-base clubs. Like a flying saucer, Debi then "landed" in Cleveland after her 1988 divorce and quickly found a gig at the gay club A Man's World. "The guys were not too thrilled there was a chick in the bar after 8 at night," laughs Debi. "It took a couple of bartenders to tell them, 'Shut up! She shows up, plays the fucking music and she's not expensive. So leave her alone!' They eventually got over it." These days, Debi captains Score's DJ booth with a 2,000-CD catalog of 20,000 tunes of '80s pop by the Police, Yes and the Thompson Twins. "The kids who are '80s babies have an affinity for it now," says Debi. "They like it because it's fun and poppy. And it's a natural backlash against all the metal and hip-hop." Debi spins from 10 p.m. to 2 a.m. today at Score, 11636 Clifton Blvd. Admission is free. Call 216.631.9000 for details. - Glaser
