  1. Lols, srs u r right, I need to get north of that border again.
  2. lookin gud, will try watch this eve. i'm such a tourist though - i only ever went out in edinburgh, although i played in the Twa Tams in Perth when I toured with a band. All my best Scots mates are Glasgow but I've never been!
  3. ^ indeed he is. As is beero and andy weatherall. So many good heads involved.
  4. cool trailer for cool film about cool place where i didn't see you lot. Unless Russel was that guy hanging out in the corridor to the toilets this club is a little bit of the dance culture history which is so often overshadowed by the clubs that went "superclub" and became global brands: cream, gatecrasher, ministry etc.
  5. dope tune eggs pre-elephunk again innit Fair point I am hating on fergie and it may not be deserved, but to me the elephunk era was the turning point for B.E.P. and it coincides with fergie taking a front role - plus she's english - and that is racist - so anyway she is the focal point for my loss of rep for the band.

    cheers man, yer i know the gate trick with dnb, and now I know how hard you gate! but is their anything else goin on? It sounds kinda bit-rate reduced or eq'd or sampled from a really old vinyl source or sumthin? Not at all like normal dnb snare would sound which gets more and more clinical as time goes on... more like triphop/experimental electronica would sound... which is refreshing and interesting and suits this tune big.
  7. Each to their own my knowledgeable and refined hiphopbredren. now come at me bro and yeah, small community comment from the US music elite - I can just imagine his narrow thinking: "well everywhere I go in the wolrd and every song I like has the same few people involved - so the communtiy must be small"
  8. like, now hit me up with dat snare knowledge pls: viewtopic.php?f=3&t=13012
  9. ^ yes yes yes fiend: behind the front: fallin up, head bobs, joints and jams. then bridging the gap: then fergie gets tight jeans - and they forget everything. Now Will I willy am wonka wanker is just a Whale.
  10. 1) use two copies of the same thing and choose something you know very well, have listened to a million times and that still doesn't bore you. 2) many people also choose straightforward EDM with its simple four on the floor drum pattern and it's predictable arrangement. 3) if however you never listen to EDM and want to be , for example: a Drum n Bass DJ; I think use Drum n Bass and see tip 1 (above).

    FNCP 26th Apr - OXYKON played a track you said was a remix you did. No idea what it was called or where to find it so info would be good mate but this is in prod thread coz: Care to share any tips on how you got the snare sound? I liked a lot.
  13. rule of thumb I been told in the past- "if it gets hot it uses a lot." PCs and even CDJs get warm over a long time from build up of energy but are nothing compared to a kettle/coffeemachine/electric heater where the main purpose of unit is to create heat. It's things like that blow boards.
  14. So they're looking for DJs that can actually read a moment and suit the crowd. +1
  15. Obv Edan is the DJ here but the event is small and friendly and allowing this sort of cheek so respect also due: https://www.facebook.com/Cowbell.Radio.Show http://www.cowbellradio.co.uk/
  16. jeebus. so here's me, at work, in city centre youth club, found wifi, in 'phones, pretending I'm listening to one of my students works while they all fight and struggle around me.... But that achaly created a space in time for me Good luck with the assignment mate
  17. would like to hear but not from lappy. DL?
  18. Time code is a code embedded in an audio signal which you play from CDs in your CD player. You use the time code CDs in your player. The code tells the computer what speed and direction the CD is going. This means you can manipulate the CD deck and your computer can manipulate a digital file to match what you are doing on the CD player. Means that you can play all the files on your computer by selecting them on the computer, but not changing the disc in your CD player, as it is only a code. When you hear it as an audio signal it sounds like a phone call from a Fax machine. It is clearly part of the matrix
  19. 1st read I thought that ^^^^^ was a journalism assignment you'd shared boss. My 2c: The album will be released heavily and fill all our minds for a while, but then it will be continuously and subliminally promoted by gradually licensing tracks as backing for other products campaigns. In ten years we will be dissing Daft Punk as the U2 of dance.
  20. asio4all is needed for all windows users. It doesnt matter which mixtrack you have. Only buying Mac will = no asio4all.
  21. Hit it hard. Ignore the time slot and the competition. Either: Play all bangers that you think will work for the moment you find yourself in. Or: Show off your best mixing skills as well as you can. but preferably: Good luck.
  22. "Take a music bath once or twice a week for a few seasons, and you will find that it is to the soul what the water-bath is to the body." —Oliver Wendell Holmes (1809-1894) American author and poet Without music, life would be a mistake. —Friedrich Nietzsche (1844 - 1900) German philosopher "It occurred to me by intuition, and music was the driving force behind that intuition. My discovery was the result of musical perception." (When asked about his theory of relativity) —Albert Einstein (1879 - 1955) Theoretical physicist "Music is a higher revelation than all wisdom and philosophy. Music is the electrical soil in which the spirit lives, thinks and invents." —Ludwig van Beethoven (1770 - 1827) German composer "Music is the shorthand of emotion." —Leo Tolstoy (1828 - 1910) Russian novelist "Whenever society gets too stifling and the rules get too complex, there's some sort of musical explosion" —Slash (born 1965) Lead Guitarist, Guns 'n Roses "Music is a moral law. It gives soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, and charm and gaiety to life and to everything." —Plato (428 BC - 348 BC) Greek philosopher "Music, once admitted to the soul, becomes a sort of spirit, and never dies." —Edward George Bulwer-Lytton (1803-1873) English novelist, poet, playwright, and politician http://www.uwex.edu/erc/music/quotes.html
  23. i think that is incredibly fitting. he is clearly much better at advertising then he is at making music.
  24. purists corner over here. no mods. anyway: I started on mismatched c90 tape players aged 7 in 1980. Found a record player in the charity shop and did mixes for a while using one C90 player and one belt drive technics (cannot rem the model number but had seperate pitch controls for 33 and 45). This was pre Dance music and just as Hiphop was reaching the UK via the punk/Ska/two tone scene. Shared a student house (in the ghetto) from age 17 with a manc who had 1200s. Got robbed several times. Finally got my own pair 1998-ish (blagged an enterprise start up loan from the welfare state). Set them up in a spare room (different shared house, but still proper ghetto) on a turned over wardrobe with another mate who had some = 4 sl1210s, a vestax pmc 05 pro II and a technics dx 1200 (the one fiend posted pic of above). Did set up the enterprise too as starter my first club night. Once I gained a rep and started gigging with them they've done a lot of travelling to and from local bars and clubs, been to Glastonbury 4 times, several other festies and Europe once or twice. On occasion I have used them (in their flight cases) to sleep on - as much to keep me off the ground as to be sure they didnt get robbed while I napped. 15 years on and they are still going strong. Never modded, never tricked. I had the audio out cable replaced twice on each, after DIY fixes to the plugs reduced the length too far. The little white light on one of them doesn't work Mine have names too: Lucy is the left deck, Rachel is the right deck. The flightcases are labelled so I can set them up anywhere in battle position and know the cables are already threaded on the correct side for quick set up. Many is the event where I am found in the van afterwards wimpering: "are my girls on board? did anyone pack my girls?"
