russell Posted December 6, 2011 Posted December 6, 2011 Hey guys,I'm Russell, I'm from Glasgow but working in Australia these days. bought my first turntables 11 years ago, bought what vinyl I could afford, looking back some of it good and some of it crap. There was a few years where I just couldnt afford to buy vinyl so ended up gettin traktor simply because I could still play with tables. I dont know how to use any of the features, hate setting it up when i'm playing and think of it only as a record box really. I've never even used a CDJ, well tried it once and hated it. Back into buying vinyl alongside it these days too again thankfully. Tried to get a club night off the ground in Glasgow last year. Done a few parties and brought some good people to play for us, Steffi, Andre Lodemann, Rene Breitbarth, Terry Lee Brown Jnr & Margaret Dygas. Would probably have kept it going if it wasn't for relocating to Oz. Even though the Glasgow scene is pretty tough. Lot of nights, lot of variety with very little people actually going out anymore. Also try my hand at production. Not had any original material released but manged to get a few remixes under my belt for Tronicsole and Scenic Tones.Gonna focus mainly on my production these days and just buy more records for the love of it now rather than for gigs.

russell Posted December 6, 2011 Author Posted December 6, 2011 Cheers,My biggest question just now is regarding record shops. Are there any supplying house/techno? I stumbled across a shop that has a lot of 2nd hand vinyl just off Hay Street. Will be having a good dig thorugh there when I get the chance. Always on the look out for older music as well as new.
