  1. I think my first experience of the Internet was going to an internet cafe in Belfast when visiting my sister when she was at Uni. Downloading Steve Vai Guitar tablature was pretty much all I was doing. I remember setting up a geocites site, can't remember what the content was, probably Vai or Pink Floyd shit. Then we got it at home in about 95 or 96, I remember a short while after there was one other dude at school a few years above who also had command and conquer red alert, so we used to play over the modem.
  2. Yeah i was thinking that, i have another being stored the same way, but its' a black pdx2300, and i think that's doing ok... *nervously goes to check...
  3. No, that's not the cool name of my new crew. But has this happened to any of you? It was in storage, under decent conditions, in a house, not damp or in a shed or anything, and it was in a case...
  4. I'm still rocking Big Sur on a 2014 Retina MBP, and most of the time only have about 5GB of HD space free. Truly life on the edge. I haven't upgraded my OS as there's a piece of software that i need for work occasionally that isn't compatible. I'd love to have a go with STEMS, but I'm pretty sure my Mac would shit itself and recite a sad prayer as it died.
  5. Also Ron's injured mate was probably sent 40 separate cease and desists for unlawfully covering the Eagles song. Rick Beato hates them Fun comments from the people who matter. "Hey Rick - I was the bassist with Huey Lewis and the News for the first 20 years (the guy with the shades and cig) and Don Henley opened up for us in Japan one year. He was the MOST negative, pessimistic person I had ever met..." - CASE CLOSED!!!
  6. Yeah i know that given the price range and the features, it competes with the Hercules in what I need from a controller. I would love motorised for that price and weight, but the extra features of the pioneer may outweigh it for me.
  7. Yeah i don't really doubt that. I'll see what the reviews are like after a few months. Would love the moving platters, but as a professional piece of kit, the REV5 looks great for the cash, and is supposed to be light enough.
  8. Now that there's this for €1100, I'm not sure between this and the Hercules....
  9. I knew that they had been session musicians on something good, but wouldn't have remembered which without searching. Michael Sembello of Maniac fame was a session guitarist on Stevie Wonder's Songs in the key of life. I'm not sure how big that tune is for any of you, but in Ireland there was an awful dance remix from 2000 cleverly titled "Maniac 2000". It is a ghastly, poorly produced dance remix with live shouting-along by a bad nightclub DJ recorded in a Rugby club. And it is literally demanded by people at every wedding and in every shit club. You could be murdered if you don't play it. UK heads might understand if I say that the only other song that comes close to it is Gala - Freed From Desire.
  10. Drop in Innofader replacing all three faders for $149. That pretty much sells it for me, I'll probably pick one up later this year. One thing i didn't see was a button for tapping in the tempo of delay effects. thats pretty much the only effect i use. Hopefully something could be remapped, or is it matched to the bpm?
  11. I have a little scratch at the odd gig sometimes (like in one venue i play at I'll cut over one instrumental track at some point), I play 2 or 3 times a week, but I haven't had anything set up at home for maybe the last year and a half, and wasn't doing much before that. I sold my Technics when i left Argentina, and have 2 pdx 2000s and 1 2300, But to be honest they're decent to scratch with, but i hate juggling and mixing on them and that's more what I'd like to be doing now. I must pick up a set but I'm picky, want to find M3Ds in nice condition and they don't pop up as much.
  12. London-born musician Dumile Daniel Thompson, 49, had a lack of oxygen to his brain after a reaction to a blood pressure drug https://www.theguardian.com/music/2023/jul/06/leeds-hospital-trust-apologises-after-rapper-mf-doom-died-in-its-care
  13. Not strictly on Phantazmagorea, but he used this part as an intro to Murder Faktory when playing it live, eg. back in ITF 2003 The Asia sample i posted previously is played for longer than on the record at the end of Murder, just before the electro cuts.
  14. I can't remember exactly but I think might be an Alec Empire or Atari Teenage Riot track. They have a tune called 'I just wanna destroy', It could be that.
  15. initially i thought that was a shame... I was assuming reloop or someone would come out with a powered platter device to rival the Rane One and Rev7 but at a better price point. But apparently the belt is enough for the small platters, mojaxx seems impressed, and it means it's lightweight. 5kgs as opposed to 10.5 kgs. This is a game changer for me as a someone who DJs 1-3 times a week. Not every venue has turntables, and the ONE and Rev are a little bulky to be dragging around all the time. And at that price I wouldn't be too nervous in bars and clubs.
