Well said. Dubstep, DnB and Breaks DJs are still avid users of DVS too. And as you said, pretty much all the beats genre's Turntables wont die. Not any time soon atleast. Im happy to have a pair of 1210s. I use them regularly and look forward to handing them down to my children

haha, thanks for the comments mate. altho, there was no transition at 7:20... the next track doesnt come in until around 9mins... is that what you meant? and no transition at 13.20 either... that track has a weird structure and drops into a totally different melody... i mix out of it at around 15.20 some of the earlier tracks have weird song structure and are hard to tell when they're transitioning. glad your liking it tho

Anyone give it a listen??

Just a quick one to let everyone know that rain, hail or shine - the show will go on! Let us stress the fact that the main area on the rooftop is entirely under cover and shielded from the elements. We also have 2 separate rooms inside the venue, available as a backup plan if things get too wet (which we are sure they wont). Adding to that we are carting in some heaters to ensure that everyone stays warm and toasty for the duration of the day. Also a quick reminder to those that have been asking, THIS IS A DAY PARTY. Doors open at 12 MIDDAY/NOON. For those after tickets, we will have 30 available on the door - get down early to avoid disappointment! Last but not least, Taran M and myself put together a mix for ITM. Free download here: http://soundcloud.com/substancesounds/j ... ce-itm-mix Hope to see you all on the day!!

Article now up on ITM with an interview with Chable and myself. Chekkit! http://www.inthemix.com.au/features/483 ... _Melbourne

If your after some good VJ stuff, check out Coldcut. These guys pretty much pioneered the whole VJ/DJ cross-over with the Pioneer VJ mixer/DVJs pretty much created due to them. They developed Vjamm, which many hold responsible for laying the groundwork for a little application now called Ableton. There's heaps of reading out there if your at all interested. Great to see where it's all come from. Bit of info on them here: http://www.ninjatune.net/ninja/artist.php?id=3

Hey all, We've managed to sort out another 30 tickets which will be available at the door on the day. If your keen to come, make it down early to avoid disappointment

Yeh. And although the Denon's are really good units you'll never see them in club land.
