Thanks Savwar, DubSeven you should download the rave one I put up here. I reckon you'd be into it.

Cheers Joe, I'd almost forgotten about it. Hope your well by the way. Cheers Craig, like I said appreciate you taking the time mate. Do the links work if not I'll put it somewhere else.

I have a lot of that stuff. I put a list on discogs. Some of it goes for decent money. i've just been offered some money for a couple of rare breakbeat tunes ones I think are'nt that great but seem sort after and go for over £50 each.

Nice track mate, like to see the visuals. I work in post production. I'm an animator. We have 2 audio suites with pro tools as well as loads of other stuff like avid, flame, smoke the lot. If you fancy a chat about the industry i'd be happy to chat to you about it. It's a hard industry to get into especially sound.

I hav'nt posted for ages mainly due to being busy with my animation work. I did this 10 min mix thing. There's 3 deck stuff and some very simple scratch tracks on there. I am not all that on the cut but I like to mess around making these little mix's when I get time. Just so I don't only post a Rave mix up I'll through this up too. No tracklist as its not really a convential mix as such. It's done on 3 decks and Adobe Audition with some multitracking nothing major really. Listen if you will it's only 10 mins. RIGHT CLICK SAVE TARGET AS

Here you go Craig I know the tunes are not to everybodies taste. Be warned this is a proper piano/rave/breakbeat mix. I suppose you had to be there but a mate requested it I hav'nt done a mix for 12 years so thought it was about time. RIGHT CLICK SAVE TARGET AS Done on 3 decks and Adobe Audition.

Nice one Craig, I remember the Dreamscapes I was more Northern though around Manchester, Liverpool and the Midlands. I just did a 20 min mix on 3 decks with some piano and breakbeat tunes from about 91' for a mate. I'll put it up if anybodies interested. Tunes are a bit pianoy now I listen to them but Happy Days.

Yeah good craig been meaning to get in touch. You still cutting? hope your well.

Shite! I did'nt see no cameras around. I prefer to call it observing rather than lurking LOL. Busted. :$

90's hip hop? I forgot hip hop even existed from 88 to 92 I was too off my face and so was just about everybody else. Acid house music and raving thats what it was about. I'm telling ya.

My missus has a business doing a similar thing. I'm not going to plug it here as it is'nt the place really. She has a design background and has spent the last 12 months getting it off the ground. She has a web site that she set up for the brand and it has been signed up for an exclusive deal for a large UK catalogue. It is also stocked in a boutique in new york as a funky British brand. She has a very distinct market and some great ideas. All I'd say is who are you selling t-shirts to. You need a marketplace and somewhere to sell them There are loads of customise your own sites around just type it into google. Here's a not so good example below design tshirts The profits are'nt that big either. You have to sell a shit load of shirts to make owt. There are also some very professional sites out there doing it already. Hope this all helps.

I was so used to a mixing mentality when I started to get serious about learning to scratch I found flares really difficult to get my head round. I thought about going hamster but I stuck with regular and i'm glad I did as it helps my flow I think. Do them really slow, stick to 1 clicks as well to begin with it'll take a while but they do come, then move on to 2 etc. I am not really in a position to give advice as such but I went through the same thing and thought i'd chip in. Stick with them thats my advice. Tony vegas breaks them down pretty well in this vid.

I really liked it. Nice track selection. Gutted you used Ian Dury & The Blockheads - Clever Trevor I am working on a mixtape and I have been doing stuff with that it's a belter, it'll stay now as well as I've spent time on it. Again nice mix mate.

looks tasty shall burn this for my car. cheers

It was won by the US guy shiftee I think. france were second. I thought it was pretty forgetable, most people on the scratchworx chat agreed. I thought the disablists should have placed. I was'nt that keen on exodus musically. Don't know if it was just hard to see on the stream but could'nt work out what a lot of the teams were doing, not a lot of scratching in there to be honest. I liked the japanese though I think they deserved it. Amir khan was on at the same time so was trying to watch both LOL. Just my opinions, I ain't that up on it all but thought I'd chip in. I'm looking forward to tonight, although I am not terribly keen on the hard electronic European style that a lot of people are doing. I like it funky, but we'll see.

It's crazy really I have records from 30/40 years ago all flat as pancakes. Yet anything I get nowadays are like fooking cereal bowls especially from juno.

Euro pc are good, I got a really good spec machine for a really good price. There dell refurbs I've had dell machines for years now are they are really reliable and I use them for my CG animation work so it's pretty intense computing stuff. Only get a mac if you can afford all the software to put on it mate. They are great though. Hope this helps http://www.europc.co.uk

I digg every oppurtunity I can, I love digging for vinyl it is a pleasure that has stayed with me for many years. I buy new stuff if I hear something worth buying I never got in to cd's at all even for listening only the last couple of months when I got the car. I have so much vinyl now I could probably stop buying and not get sick of listening to the stuff I have. Like Matt though I Fooking love records.

cheers sirchick i'll check it out.

I have just spent 3 days updating my missus's machine to XP she has a plotter she uses's for her busines worked fine on an old 2000 machine. I am getting errors on all usb ports saying the the device has malfunctioned and then the usb ports sleep and don't recognise it plug and play. I have added a registry entry to DisableSelectiveSuspend Blah Blah Blah I fooking hate computers I know it's a long shot but any ideas, the hardware is fine as it works on my shiny new dual Xeon machine but I can't run the plotter on there for logistical reasons. I've had it working on the culprit machine as well just when you restart it gives the shitty message. The drivers are FTDI usb>serial drivers by the way. I also tried reinstalling XP and reinstalling the usb cards and usb drivers all kinds of shit. Much appreciated

Always had you down as a technics man matt. Don't know why. FLOL lase, Thats not all my vinyl either. Not much Hip Hop though really. I've seen some serious vinyl collections around, mine is pretty tame really.

My 3 table set up (again) just to even things out.

Use meters if you can and if your keeping your Xfader curve on sharp then mix with the ups. Or use the Xfader curve on a smooth curve. EQ and gain on the fly. Do whatever is more comfortable for you. All that does'nt matter anyway cause following on from broke's advice. Forget building up a record collection, learning to mix, cut and juggle. Go on a reality tv show or get celebrity status somehow and promoters will be scrambling to book you for gigs. Works for most celebrities who fancy themselves as DJ's anyway.

How was DMC vekked? Your listed on the DMC site. It terms of the question try not to make it obvious that your slowing it down. Just get tight with mixing cause playing out throws all kinds of problems at you no monitors, crappy equipment and sound systems even in big clubs or events I have played in the past these problems came up. Oh and don't forget all the pricks who think they should be dj'ing instead of you watching your every move.
