Chris Rose, better known under the moniker Car Stereo (Wars), began his life as a DJ inauspiciously enough, with a regular Sunday night slot at Red River dance club Plush.

But his musical direction changed when a close friend recommended he combine Ghostface Killah and Ghostland Observatory for a laugh.

Rose took a shot at it, and it became his first experiment with mashup — the DJ’s art of slicing and dicing different elements from several songs and reconfiguring them into something new.
