  1. you probably do need to chill out but speak your mind regardless! i always prefered woodies routines because they were differant, i think from living in ireland seing amazing dj's like savwar tu-ki and deviant, the experimental side of battling was always what apealed to me, instead of trying to do something better than the rest, do what they didnt think of doing best 6 minute dmc sets i ever saw were by savwar tu-ki and deviant 2004/2005, amazing stuff, we plan on uploading some of this shit when we sort through deviants biscuit tin of tapes
  2. ''I don't agree with that. A battle set may contain melodic elements that means you enjoy listening to it like you would enjoy listening to a song, but that's not all a battle is necessarily about. Whether Jimmy's set was judged fairly based on the given judging criteria is another matter'' i agree with that, we wouldn't do our normal set in a dmc because the same judging/opinion problem exists. believe me, if we do enter we'll be bringing heat! @ camb it'll be me and deviant most likely! @ foly your always kicking off, i love it!
  3. @ steve nice one man, the most important thing is that people enjoyed the routine, and i had a tremendous amount of fun!
  4. @ giz we're definetely entering the team dmc, and i'll probably throw some sort of a six minute set together for te dmc for the craic! i really enjoyed having 2 decks set up again! i really want to get a pair of tt500's though, because my vestax are wack, we've developed a love hate relationship. also, i need to stop using 7"s/45's in my routines!
  5. i have to say one of the main reasons i entered is because there are guidelines for the judges to make there decisions. http://proxfade.co.uk/ if you go to the read the rules section. musicality, originality, skills, patterns, style. and within each of them there are a few main things to look out for, Harmony of set, Creativity, Combos, Structure of set, Accuracy, Excitement, Innovation, Scratches, Arrangement, Overall impression, Composition, Juggles, Stage presence, Difficulty, Souvereignity, Technical ability, Composure 'The skills, style and originality are the main facts to be judged.'
  6. but the asio drivers are emulated or some shit so it never runs the same as xp!
  7. cheers man, i actually made that on a lovely day but its fucking snowed over here right now so i threw it up cause i thought i suited the mood, the ep is out soon, waiting for the label to let her drop!
  8. thats what i meant about cafe/arts center, people will actually appreciate what your doing as opposed to saying, let the record play you dick, have you got any 50 cent!
  9. looks like that polish penny isn't gonna be of any use to me!
  10. or book store! http://wfmu.org/playlists/shows/37941 lew hadn't touched a turntable since the tour!
  11. do a show in your local art gallery or cafe!
  12. I'm gonna guess that Penguin doesn't have enough routines either (could be wrong) . if you watch the video again you'll notice stickers on the records that arent used, these are for the full versions of the routines.

  14. found a polish penny on the street lastnight!
  15. he could have a phono splitter box or some shit, great idea! him and mike-l for the win for the forward thinking!
  16. im gonna keep my mouth shut, i just wrote a reply about it, but it wont accomplish anything. go for it jim, its a forum, its about having something to say!
  17. we'll see, a good 2 days anyway! haven't used two decks in since 2005
  18. also if you saw the detailed list of things they are judging routines on youd know that it was never my intention to do well. style is the main category and what they mean by style is arm waving and gangster faces, ive got a pretty good gangster face, one of the best i'd say, but i didnt have a great angle on the cam to show it! arrangement is a big part of it though, and the arrangement of my routine os definetely my favourite thing about it.
