Just a bit of shameless self promo to let you know that I had a guest mix aired on DJ Kayper's show on BBC Asian Network, as part of the Hype "Mixtape Challenge" this past Wednesday. In short, every week Kayper does the "Mixtape Challenge" on her show, where she challenges a DJ to fit 3 or 4 Desi tracks into a 15 minute mix of any genre; be it cutting them up, remixing/re-editing them, etc... Previous DJs who've taken up the challenge include Crookers, MJ Cole, DJ Craze & DJ Yoda, so as a result, this mix showcases a lot more scratching, a whole mixture of genres, and some re-editing which I've done in Ableton. I hope you enjoy it! Oh, there's also a brief interview with me at the start too...You can all witness how...erm...monotone/quiet I am lol... http://www.zshare.net/audio/58460470ea7d452b/ Tracklisting: 01.

People normally say you're shit if don't play their requests.... Best ones are the ones who say say "yeh you should play this, I'm a DJ yeh..."

Easy chaps, I'm looking to get a MIDI Keyboard to use with Reason 4 & Ableton Live 6 LE....I'm looking to spend between up to about 150 quid, and am torn between getting a smaller one (due to portability, as well as lack of space), or actually making the space and getting one that's medium-sized (up to 47 keys) Any recommendations? I've been told that the M-Audio series aren't too bad to start off with...

Can you put an innofader in that? Apparently so... http://www.djforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=161685 Video as well... http://www.innofader.com/images/DJM-800/PA010542.MP4

I deicded to take Missy Elliott's classic club banger "Work It", and give it a bit of 90's Hip Hop twist by putting it over Souls Of Mischief's "93 Til Infinity". There's also a DJ-friendly 8 bar intro & outro for all you party rockers out there... So, I present to you: "Work It Til Infinity" http://www.zshare.net/audio/538781491b47eff9/ Got any thoughts? Let me know!

If there's room for one more, I'm game... Country & Western Rave Tech all day, honey!

Scratching is gay. Buy a DJM800...

Get a 57 dude.... Saves on setup time for places where you need to take your own euipment...Plus, the faders are awesome...

I've thrown together a Christmas Mix to get you in the festive spirit...There's a nice mixture of classic Christmas tracks, to Hip Hop, Dirty South, and even some Miami Bass & a Baltimore Club edit from yours truly....Nothing too fancy, was done on Ableton really quickly last night... http://www.zshare.net/audio/53207485673e09ba/ Tracklisting: 01.

My latest Weekly Mix if you're interested...I've missed out a few gems, but had to in order to avoid biting Shorkut's "Going Uptown" Mixtape.... Nothing too technical, a couple of cuts and juggles here and there to keep you entertained too... http://www.zshare.net/audio/5289636284ed6a50/ Tracklisting: 01. TLC - Ain't 2 Proud 2 Beg (US 7" Edit) 02. Guy - Do Me Right 03. Keith Sweat - I Want Her 04. Boyz II Men - Sympin' (Remix Radio Edit) 05. Bobby Brown - My Prerogative 06. Boyz II Men - Motown Philly 07. Bell Biv DeVoe - Poison 08. Johnny Gill - Rub You The Right Way

Seems that the fucking thing's gone up to £950.00+ I swear it was around the £895.00 price tag.... Any ideas?

Oi, watch it! Post a file Lembot! On the real, I don't think a lot of people were happy with their '07 sets (moi included)... Regarding the BPM Battle....Yes, everyone could have been a hell of a lot tighter (no homo), but it was on crowd reaction, and Weet got the most noise... Furious P & Sinical were better on a technical level, and imo it should have been them in the final stage (I'm slightly biased, but hey that's my opinion), but the only DJ that came through with stage presence/entertainment was Weet. A lot of DJs are too "heads down" these days. I think showmanship needs to come back into the game.

I'm going to be cocky and say "me". Although I'm not as famous as I'd like to think....

Ahh, that DV night was a laugh.....Semi-legendary, in fact.... Highlights for me: Mattnice's set, and Matt swearing at me for playing "Everyday People".... Can anyone post up the pics of Cambian asleep in the corner and pulling a fatty please?

For more assorted mixes, video, and other dope shizz, stop by http://www.djcable.com or http://djcable.blogspot.com Enjoy....

The 90's also gave birth to Cash Money & No Limit Records....Can't forget about them... Whilst the whole Master P thing was a running in-joke on Skratch Alienz, "Ghetto D" was/still is a dope album...

I use Serato with an MPD controller sometimes.... Plus it in via USB, click on the "midi" tab, click on a function, press a pad...that function gets mapped to the pad... Easy....

Scratch Live for clubs.... Vinyl for DJ battles/DMC - Although I did use SSL for the DMC Teams this year....

Boys Noize - Oh! (Original Mix) Bit of Hip Hop, Electro, R&B etc....Some basic cuts here and there.... Like it? Hate it? Let a brother know.... Cheers!

Cheers for the ideas/advice dudes.... It's crazy, because up until a couple of years ago, I had some pretty good stage swagger going on (especially with Battle for Supremacy!)...Now it all seems to have gone kaput! Mind over matter I s'pose, and all that razzmatazz! LOL! That is partly true as well!

So, I've started doing some small showcases this year....And the stage fright has come back! Up until last year, I was pretty ok with going up on stage and scratching....But nowadays unless I'm doing a club set, I suffer from stage fright....No idea why - but the shaky hands and stiff arms have come back to haunt me.... 'tis well ghey.... Any of you dudes suffer from such a problem? If so, anyone got any tips for overcoming it?

From what I've seen from the footage online. 1st Furious P 2nd Switch 3rd Skully

Hey dudes, I'm looking to get a pair of decent monitor speakers to run with my PC for helping me master/mixdown my mixtapes & blends/mashups to a better standard.... I've heard a lot of good reviews about the KRK speakers....but not sure which would be best suited for my setup (my stuff's all in the bedroom).... I'm a bit of a technophobe when it comes to shit like connecting things together etc, so any help/advice would be great.... I'm assuming that with powered monitors, I wouldn't need another amp/mixer would I?

Cheers dudes!
