I saw him do this live here last month. Was a great show!!!

I have a ton of hip hop. Got any new bangers? I don't have much 80's acapellas but I do have High Top Kicks acapellas!!!

Alright. See you here in 365 days.

We have a good old fashion hiphop fight going. Maybe soon people will be DJ battling and Rap battling again. Jk

And it's back.

I like to play with music in any fashion. Neither is the past and neither is the future. As time passes humans create more options. This is true in everything. When it comes down to it nobody cares what you're doing. It's all about hype,image and how it sounds. If it sounds good, and it feels good FTW do it! Embrace the new. Embrace the past.

Just one I been working around with...

1-800-Suicide by that Wu-Tang side project group. Can't remember the name right now. Oh... The Gravediggaz

I'm pretty much all the way switched over. I still use logic from time to time but less and less. I still have my tables set up but they pretty much collect dust. With the exception for a quick cut or to pull a sample off. Anybosy made a switch over to a controller based set up rather than a turntable based set up? I still have that left over instinct to juggle and scratch that I can't get my fix for now a days though.

What up guys. Thanks for watching.

What up brother! Thanks for checking it out. We might come through Austin soon. Just got a new booking agent that has been putting in work. Hope to see you soon!

A-Trak does some pretty cool house mixes. Is his brother in Chromeo?

I'm gonna email him and ask about it.

yeah, I know who Banksky is, I was just wondering if this had some significance about his email?

I keep my hand in my pants all the time.

I don't get it.

Make sure the RAM is in order. Sometimes on certain mother boards and Bios, you have to seat the RAM from smallest to biggest. And make sure the ram is seated correctly in it's slot and latched down securely. I would try switching the order of the RAM sticks.

What I am sick of is DJs that suck. They have sucked and always will suck. DJ's that bought decks ten years ago and still can't mix, and they want to tell me I suck because I don't drag my tables to a club. These DJ's mash train wreck after train wreck in the name of being a "purist." I can juggle, scratch mix, blend, live loop compasistions... and it was all rooted around tables and a mixer. The more technology progresses the more I realize that I am not a DJ just as much as I am not a guitarist. I'm a songwriter and a musician. I like to manipulate sounds in real time. Whether it be a traditional instrument, or a record, or a laptop. I want to imagine a sond or song and manifest in real time in front of an audience. I want to perform my music. As far as Ableton being a crutch well, it's fucking hard to learn! I used to be a computer programmer so I really enjoy coming up with new ways to deconstruct and remix new sounds and songs via midi mapping to my MPD. I feel comfy and at home. I guess what I am saying is controllerism is a different art form where a lot of the process takes place in prep. You have to be a pretty smart person to be able to program an impressive live set. You have to be a pretty smart person to play a great traditional DJ set. But every asshole with two hands can press play and stop, be it a turntable or a laptop. The question lies in the skills. The thought process. The idea of creating new ideas. If you can fart on a snare drum and it sound amazing I respect it. That doesn't mean I respect people that fart on drums... Now where is my snare drum? I got gas.

Well this will either make or break Blaksmif's career. Millions of people will watch this video and see his freestyle. He'll make money off bad mouthing Wayne alone. If they don't "pop a cap in his ass" first.

Records and turntables hurt my back. Doctor bills are expensive. I want the cheapest way to manipulate music with the most creative freedom. Digital does that for me. Granted, my TT's and record collection look great set up in my living room. I DJ'd with wax for a long time. There is stuff Daft Punk and Justice are doing that wpuldn't be possible with wax. I like new school.

I don't use the instruments much. If you have another program to generate your synths and what not, the simpler and drum rack are plenty.

Wait? You mean to say that my turntables aren't toys? They are not a game already?

Yeah, what he said. It was great.

Yeah, it was just a quick recording of a live mix. I'll have to give it a proper looking over. My mastering skills aren't what the need to be when using Ableton just yet. LOL, at you tugging at wires trying to find out whts with your sound card.
