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....

hahaha wow i turn my back on you guys and it turns to childish behavior... as for the wheels i did look at them but at $30+ each for ones that can carry the weight and i would need 6 of them :S mmmm oh and if you where talking to me buck, yes i was a vector based drafting package... i used to be a drafty

i will recomend the PMC250 to any one they are a great little mixer i am mixing on one as i type this

nice work they have a really good reputation. still call me industry standard... but my next set will be hd25's

what are those speaker stands? they are wicked nice work looks like a solid build. that's the biggest problem with cdjs is you require front loading access. CBG - i've had some basic skills but nothing special.

am interested in the vestax eliminators can you post a few photos?

my turntables stay on all the time as does the mixer only cause i'm lazy as for the material it is plywood i have a bit of a love hate relationship with MDF. it is highly toxic to work with and doesn't give that lovely warm wood finish that i was after next time i will use a thicker ply though this one had a few issues with warping as you see it it end up costing me around $300 form bunnings including the belt sander Def - to post and image host it on some thing like face book (great cause i shrinks them i to a usable size) right click on the image a select 'save image location' then click on the IMG tag above on the repy window and paste the images url (should end in .jpg) and click the IMG tag again and you have posted an image would love to see both your designs and projects

personally i'd go the yamaha HS80m then the M Audio x8 and then the krks i really didn't find them that special the yamahas on the other hand you can hear every bristle in a drummers hi hat brush and they are about the same price as the krks i found the krks a little muddier around the top and bit bass heavy saying all that i'm more of a soulful/ old school house head and am not all about the "banging" tunes

BENNY BOY hey mate welcome

your probally better giving it to some one that will appreciate it more than me.. i've all ready got flipsided.com.au

finally got to have a listen to it, kept thinking i had the wrong mix.. only to realise that its a good electro mix not really what fits in to the jackin category
