Sevrin Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 G'day! My first post So I've been collecting old skool funk and soul of various descriptions for years, but never really learned how to dj properly. I was somehow talked into playing a set at a party the other week, and despite mixing worse than a blind folded crack addicted monkey with a frontal lobotomy, I actually managed to get folks shaking it to my trashy funk and soul. Needless to say, I'm hooked! I've heard that actual drummers (not drum machines) on old vinyl is hard to beat mix to, but I wanna learn!! So here goes. Hope these forums can help get me started. Cheers. Cupe 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sevrin Posted August 24, 2016 Author Share Posted August 24, 2016 thanks mate! Oh perhaps I should state that I'm also into breakcore haha. Like the really hard obnoxious variety. I realise that this is probably the polar opposite to funk, but I guess I like extremes Cupe 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mitch Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 You had me at the funk. Then lost me a little as I'm not really sure what breakcore is. Welcome what part of the world do you reside? Cupe 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sevrin Posted August 24, 2016 Author Share Posted August 24, 2016 Breakcore makes up about 5% of electronic dance music enthusiasts. The scene in Melbourne (where I reside) is tiny, and the music tends to be made by odd people, and played in odd locations, like squats, or on the side of a river, or in peoples lounge rooms. Put simply, its generally too fucked up for general consumption, and there are very few venues that will cater for it, so they're mostly DIY. But I like it haha.
