  1. I have a Pixel 6. I've had a few small issues with it, nothing crazy, but lots of people had been complaining about it. But supposedly all the bug issues and stability problems are sorted with the arrival of Android 13 last week. I'm just about to upgrade to it today. Don't think there's many new features but it sorts out the problems
  2. I think i read under a youtube video or somewhere, so not exactly a top news source, that he had damage to his hearing so no longer Djed. One of his best mates lived in Dublin, nice guy, who made this mixtape with him, and was also great popper. Trivia: I think the head popping in from behind his shoulder in the image is DJ Rasgunyado from Lordz of Fitness.
  3. He was shocked and appalled when he heard 30 years, but said he'd happily accept two 15s (I'm sorry)

    VPN advice

    "He" may not want to hear it, but "he" should just pay for one to safely access whatever creepy stuff "he's" into. You get deals all the time and they end up about $2-3 a month, like NordVPN. I think the Opera one collected data logs. don't think those free ones can really perform like a proper paid service.
  6. https://old.reddit.com/r/DJs/comments/rzhmeg/pioneer_ddjone/ some chatter here that there could be a CDJ style one and then a more vinyl style platter one, but could be bullshit of course. I don't get why you'd need the little screen when you're using a laptop. And I actually do like the fact that you are able to add the Jesse Dean tonearm to the RANE ONE https://www.turntabletrainingwax.com/rane-one-tone-arm
  7. This is what i was waiting for... I actually thought reloop might sneak one out I was so close to buying a RANE one for christmas, I'm glad i didn't. Be nice to just see how they compare... and I'm very used to pioneer gear these days. But like it's not a vinyl style like the rane is it? looks like a motorized version of the CDJs?(how ever that would work....)
  8. Bad news for ifixit.com I've replaced screens on older iphones and replaced usb ports on various android devices and stuff... but things definitely got way harder over the last few years. But yeah, the pricing could be mental. Those modular phones never really took off did they.
  9. I've had a pioneer DDJ SR controller since 2014 that I use for gigs when there's no decks, and I'm not arsed bringing them. I was looking at it the other night at a gig, and I realised i have no idea what the parameter buttons do, they are under the looping function but don't control that. Something to do with the pads, but i haven't needed to learn. Might actually look into it now. I have an S9 that i've also used fuck all over the last while, and it needed a firmware upgrade as I noticed the pads didn't light up, I also couldn't remember what the second little screen did, and had to look up the manual to find out that again, it was a pads related thing. I use cue points, filter knob, the loop buttons and thats about it. Maybe delay a tiny bit when mixing, but hate when people use it scratching. I actually almost prefer to manually use the cue points as a delay/loop feature when mixing out of a track. I've rarely seen a DJ use a feature and thought, "that looks mad useful, i must give that a go"
  10. These days I'm not bothered by having the most up to date phones. Currently on Pixel 3a and I've loved it. Might get a 4a since they're insanely good value, but i'm in no rush to go for this. Maybe by 2023
  11. Yeah saw this. Pretty Upsetting... (sorry 😔)
  12. There's another thread with a few starting with the Tony Vegas, should we combine all? just thought i'd stick this one here. haven't watched it yet, but looking forward to it.
  13. STEVE! Finally figured it out. you see what i mean about the bassline melody in shannon and the first melody in Groove? Realised it when seeing Roli Rho use it against Babu in itf 97. I can't believe it took this long.
  14. https://www.nytimes.com/2021/07/16/arts/music/biz-markie-dead.html https://www.theguardian.com/music/2021/jul/16/hip-hop-star-biz-markie-rapper-dies-just-a-friend
  15. me too. but currently seeing every project hope fly out the window in exchange for fatherly duties.
  16. I've been putting together a Dad Rock mix, and my mate asked if I could throw together a playlist in advance of father's day so he could put it up on his clothing labels site. So I did. Kinda my take on Dadrock. Wanted to avoid AC/DC and most of the obvious shit, and there's a few breaks in there. It was hard to not put in more steely dan and sabbath tho... https://www.instagram.com/p/CQQ02PqH3Al/?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet
  17. HAHAA.. Glorious... yet discreet
  18. Looks great man! But what about the fucking toblerone?? was it empty? where was it relocated?
  19. Forgot this... (although it was Foxy Lady on the UK version i believe...) ()
  20. before covid I was playing gigs 2-3 times a week. I never play at home. I put one evening into that Woody battle, but that was the first time in ages... even when i was gigging, I'd just do serato business on my laptop, and not actually practice or anything. Now i've a baby (and a new guitar), I don't know when the next time will be either... still have them set up, but it's starting to look like they're just taking up space. We don't have a huge apartment at the minute, but will probably buy somewhere next year, so things might change when it's all organized a bit better.
  21. Aw man. I remember having Hymn of the seventh Galaxy on a burned CD for years, and but there was nothing labelled on it, so for ages I didn't know who or what it was exactly. Gonna return to Return to for the weekend now..
  22. dope! never heard that before.. along those lines i guess.... love this tune, love his vocals
