i know all you people w hair bragging

yep i totally agree with andyman. what we are not saying is play only the top 40s (not that there is anything wrong with that) or playing the same classic bangers multiple times in the night what we are saying is if the crowd aint digging it, be it to dance in the club or to provide the atmosphere at an event or dining/drinking experience, then to me you are doing something wrong. so that is the point of reading the crowd. now the best dj's are the ones that can dump a track no one knows and yet they are still enjoying it. back in my days the djs were the tastemakers, so would def introduce new tracks seemlessly while we are dancing out. that is track hunting. i dont think beatmatching is 100% important, rather its about keeping a flow, keeping a vibe. one way which is to ensure you beatmatch, but that is only one way. so yeah that would be a third point for me keeping a flow (which also includes builds, peaks, chill downs, and so on within the set). thats three points to me that make a good dj.

tupac - can u get away one of the many tupac love songs. and before he went all gangsta found a live version he did while in jail

nice

i would call it hip hop

just what i needed to get thru this "monday" (it was chinese new year holidays mon and tues)

@andyman some record spots to hit on your trip!

yo

so sick wazza

yo

i want to do something different my life will change this year one way or another

that damn buck choi bug haha selling yourself short spitty. bedroom dj no more mate!

nice to see you setup mate. good luck with scratching that itch

seven years later and i still cant mix hip hop haha. ive updated my mixer to a djm 700. rarely use traktor except to record a mix (once a year). i bought myself some music production equip (an mpc and a korg synth) but only ever done tutorials. still increasing my music collection continuously, well mp3s and vinyls. i dont buy cd's so much anymore.

damn bro that was dope. while i personally didnt need the turn at 2.31, didnt reduce my enjoyment of the track. ive had your stuff saved in must get to later for minit but only finlayy getting to it.

nice read, i remember wazza or maybe it was foolish mentioned stuff about that when we spoke about cutting tracks to vinyl

no... i believe

farking nice one. reminds me a bit of kojak

haha thats awesome!

ive got statnton st150's so i know stantons are good never used the 30's, i think ive used str80s and they were fine. in the end remember the techys 1200 dont have the best torque yet people were fine on scratching on them for years, so its not like you need the torque of the st150 or vestax decks. note i notice those things are sold, was that you? in regards to time code, yes i use it but i dont really scratch. fiend does on time code. as does all the other greats craze, qbert, atrak. so you'll be fine with it.

nice. control vinyl though?

oh and good slip mats

def need a direct drive, you would totally rek belt drives and as per scottie the cross fader is prob what you need to be mindful about. another thing that is key is get a copy of super seal http://www.thudrumble.com/product/skratchy-seal-super-seal.html

theres a good chance i wont make this one. things at work are a little hectic (technically ive quit and finishing up in april) so there is no way ill be let out in march. ill be listening in on the radio shedding a tear... again.

however what i do agree with you is the missed oppurtunity. they know DJs have been dying for this for years. and as they will likely be built in the panasonic vietnam factories, they are going to be costing them a hella lot less then the old ones. so they could easily dump them for a cheaper price on the market and they will get lapped up like apple fan bois getting the latest iphone
