There was a sense of agreeance recently when Mark Ronson tweeted that his close friend, the late turntablist DJ AM, should be the first DJ to be bestowed a star on the Hollywood walk of fame.
Now, the producer extraordinaire has revealed more about his appreciation of DJ AM in an interview.
Speaking with Spinner Ronson said, "I think he basically invented an entire style of DJing. He was the first person to have sort of these DJ battle-level skills and could still just kill a party and had such a great taste, a wide range of taste.
"He was pretty much the best club DJ I've ever seen," Ronson decalred. "There might be other DJs that I prefer their taste, or I would dance to more, but as far as like, 'Holy sh*t, wow,' and beyond that he just was a great friend.
“He was so supportive as well, he would always do what he could to help me break records when no one was playing any of my sh*t and shouting out "Rehab" in Us Magazine when they'd have his playlist and whatever it was, he was just an awesome dude.
"His legacy is, he took DJing in another direction and now you have all these young kids that can scratch and bust their ass practicing to make sure they can scratch, and also play a wide range of stuff. I don't think anyone's touching him but I think it's definitely undeniable the kind of influence he's had."
DJ AM passed away following a drug overdose in August of 2009.
