not sure if srs probably not the best track to introduce disclosure but seroiusly man that have some really really nice tunes

always one for the controversy grem haha i have heard of a few people employing the rekordbox key detection, i would note taht a couple of them are already spokesmen for pioneer. sooo take that however you like. i cant think of many names off the top of my head besides a couple mitch named. i just remember reading something about it the other day is all and making a similar comment of 'i didnt think many people actually used it'

man wish i had the cash for these

i think he means big jumps in key in essence it depends entirely who your audience is. 9/10 when you are playing the 'bangers' most of the punters in the room could give a shit about key. while mixing in key generally helps produce a nice fluid mix its not always essential. while you still might not be mixing in key, a mix can still be exceptional. good skills can-to a degree-make up for poor track selection. at the end of the day there have been enough 'bangers' produced to establish a relative key gradient amongst popular tracks in edm. i use the term 'bangers' in quotes due to the subjective nature of the term. to an educated crowd, a great track produced by someone not many people have heard of can be pretty much the greatest, best, most fantastic (which ever way you wish to describe it) track in the world. because it is appealing to the culture and values of the crowd. This is obvious when you (for example) make your way into one of the many cruisey bars and bistros where 1 dj in the corner is running some deep house tunes that no one has ever heard of and yet set an unbelievable vibe. while the tracks do not meet the necessary convention of 'popular' this doesnt stop the dj from doing his job. that is the end of my point of 'bangers' back to key. the reason nobody cares about the big key jumps that often occur when one poorly prepared dj jumps from one 'banger' to the next is that for that crowd simply knowing the song is enough. You simply don't here the big club 'bangers' being played in areas without alcohol because that is part of the environment, the scene, the right setup for those tracks, to be screamed and shouted by a bunch of pis-pot teens still halfway through their 3rd cruiser at 2am. and to be honest, even for the learnered few when you've had a few to drink you dont really care that much because THAT guy who feels more obliged to sit there and point out poor music choices, or sloppy mixing skills is missing the point of being in that environment in which he openly critiques-to have a good time. If sitting there all night and doing that is your idea of a good time, each to their own but you would fall in the minority. i guarentee it. at the end of the day, as a dj, you are there to please the crowd. THIS IS YOUR JOB. while you also want to have a good time, generally you are paid to be behind the decks (or if your not, then your representing yourself and misrepresent yourself with poor skills is to your downfall) so you are on somebody elses time. do your job or you will quickly find yourself out of one in this business. Most of the time, your job is a to please the crowd of punters who just want to relax and have some fun, provide that and then worry about if your mix of 'bangers' where in key later. if your attending a dj comp where they are actively judging your skills then feel free to flex your selective muscle and internet/cd/record store searching prowess. Remember your crowd, who you are trying to please, what you want the mix to achieve and you wont go too wrong. mixing in key helps, but picking the right song for the room comes first everytime /walloftext alexj out

dont get me wrong there is a couple of artists in there that ide abso-fucking-lutely love to see but considering the timing, cost, length of event and distance i have to travel. is a miss for me

so many prog tracks in there i guess there is a couple of deep hau5 tracks. Yeah mostly progressive stuff with electro mixes available (or vice versa). Couple deep house tracks, but even then there are some other mixes out there if you look. I've found quite a few different styles of mixes so I am interested to see which way people will go. Yer ill admit ive found some pretty cray remixes/reworks/bootlegs etc the one im struggling to make work is the wakanda track. havent found a remix that i like yet

so many prog tracks in there i guess there is a couple of deep hau5 tracks.

Fuk ive found some dope tracks while attempting this. couple of different ones but super excited to play it also occurs to me that this list is basically prog house tracks tho

I know it's off screenshot lol, plus already got tracks so not redoing that

But comp thread started in June didn't it?

i never actually asked. i know we are doing april but why april and not june?

this is nice and chilled good work man let me know when you want to officially release/stop tweaking and will dl and mark for future sets

eh. ticket price vs acts. i think ill keep my 100

well im on holidays now, so will be cracking onto this tomorrow. get keen kents when should we time cap it? say a week from now?

drugs vhat is drugs. no drugs here

im having same problem loading from facebook.

lol'd irl

who said they have to be good tracks..i know blokes who can put together a basic track in a day, fx and master it that night. Nothing to be proud of (and he isnt) but just saying alot of cashed up wales will buy something that sounds well put together through a set of computer speakers. And thats exactly it though. This type of site doesnt appeal to the professionals, because they can do their own stuff. i will admit good tracks take longer, days, weeks, months etc but once you become experienced with the software, sure churning them out wouldnt be that hard? as too price i reckon basic ones be going for 3-500 a piece with real good ones between 1 and 2k. whats the saying go. ide rather have 100 dedicated followers to 1000 drones. i think the same goes for making tracks. ide rather be good at a few things, taking along time to do something right even if only at a basic level than to try and market something i dont understand.

smart business model is smart. while it is disappointing i am surprised it too THIS LONG to be made available to the public there is no tracks for sale, i can only gather that its just so popular. if i was a producer with some time on my hands i would churn out the basic mundane/half assed tracks that i would never release under my own name for some other punter to buy. Pocket some cash while practicing skills for my own work. If track gets famous, who cares, you know you have the goods just got to market it correctly i can see this type of business eventually adopting a rate and buy system by which tracks are release on site for say 1 week adn are allowed to be voted on by public then made available for sale price based on rating. one price fits all doesnt make sense.

ill stick to the 2000's

that is just so gusta

pretty easily? im with russ on this one i think it will be a really nifty piece of kit.

so is this the new desktop unit then?

this is a great track man ill admit i think that a couple of the levels are off as just sounded abit sharp in my headphones on occasion but overall a really good job
