To celebrate their eighth year of existence, Twitter has launched a webpage that allows users to type in their handle and view their first tweet ever. After searching my own handle I decided to check out some of my favorite artists first tweets. Several hours later I had garnered a lengthy list of acts who’s accounts I wanted to look up. Then this article was born. Below you can view the first tweets of roughly one hundred DJs/producers. Enjoy. (Please Note: These artists are listed in no specific order)
