Blodders

man i remember drooling over the empaths when they came out. they were a great looking mixer (and they came in a rotary edition.) I miss the old Serato.. was SOOO stable and didn't try to be to fancy, great for a vinyl guy like me. think i still have my SL1 in a box somewhere, i upgraded to tracktor when Pioneer became certified, but i never gelled with it, always seamed way more busy that it needed to be and had 1000s of features i was never going to use (its also now sitting in box somewhere) sort of glad i never bought a system that integrated the mixer and the DVS Now i play for myself and my vinyl collection. so i only have a 2 channel vestax mixer (Pcm-25) and i love it

Dragging me back kicking and screaming are we @Cupe?

wow... they managed the hat-trick... all three reasons not to like it

that was an interesting crowd, there seems to be a good mix of djs... not just the same few... think i will be looking up a few sets and podcasts over the next few weeks.

might be able to make it down that night. i'll do you a trade. you can come down to my gig on the 25th april Anzac day eve at 24 moons

Ishkurs guide to electronic music is a great interactive reference to the history of Elec music http://techno.org/electronic-music-guide/

font was hard to read in mozilla other wise good site, nice and basic also think of replacing the photos with events you have held as you start to get more gigs... i recognised a few to those images from back in 2003

yeeee godsss sponge bob fest... i am no good to you as i really only know the housy venues though if you want some good vocal stuff try white Charlie's on chapel st 24 moons has a GREAT vibe (ACDC lane in the CBD)

haha you'd be surprised source raver, pop crowds have a very short attention span. they tend to go nuts for lots of stuff they know. I've watched a mate (successful R&B dj) spin on many occasions, he's golden rules 16 beat mixes and mix out before the song is half way though... plenty of screaming girls there the truth is the POP crowd (eleco, Ministy, R&B ) all want to hear the best bit of the songs they know and they really dont care if you can mix for 32 bars straight.

sooo where do you put your roadie? great work

yer i've had these turntables for the last 7 years rock solid, though mine did have the loose screw, easily fixed though and the rubberised buttons went a shade of yellow about 3 years ago and are starting to lose their rubber coating

oh the memory's of multiple day benders ending at revs' and trying to work out how to get home cause you have spent all your cash.. think those days are behind me, though i find my self going out to see people play these days not just for the sake of going to a club spent NYE at 24 moons and have been to heaps of gigs at alumbra, brown ally, white charlies, seven, though the craziest and best sound system i have heard was at The Market. though the crowd can be a little touchy feely with can be a little over the top. (gay crowd) if you haven't worked it out i love my soulfull house

haha it would be quiet a drive... espcially seeing as i only have a motorbike

hahah count me in as the old and cantankerous melb member

Ok guys it has been two years since i made the desk and i am moving to a smaller apartment (stupid idea i know) so the desk is up for sale. say 200.. we can probably negotiate delivery in the melb metro area. the desk is still in pristine condition. i have started thinking towards dj desk Mark 2....
