  1. I remember when he was just the best dressed 17 1/2 year old on DV whod been cutting for 18 months who was already as good as everyone else! Mad respect Dopez!!!
  2. Them Knights can't be trusted mate. Remember when Suge was in prison in the 90s and he reckoned he was the one who found and nurtured all the talent at Death Row and that Dre did nothing? It was just before he got paroled, he said that once he was out he would restart his own business and over the following few years he'd have a stable new hit making talent and Dre's connections he picked up at Death Row would fade away. He was so sure of himself and reckoned that the results of his and Dre's individual businesses in the subsequent years would once and for all settle who really built Death Row into the cash cow it was. To summarise the next two decades briefly; Dre became a billionaire and Suge ran someone over
  3. All I'm saying is I've seen behind the curtain and even in it's early stage with many things to be refined and developed, it's still better than just about any DJ + Drummer thing I've seen before!
  4. Should I post a video of Snap's 'Rhythm is a Dancer' or is just saying the words enough?
  5. If people like the music and there's an amazing amount they're prepared to overlook. Michael Jackson for instance, very clearly a black man who dedicated his life to turning himself white and nurturing unhealthy relationships with kids. And yet millions are fine with that.
  6. Guys, come on! Peaceful conversation is the only way to reach an amicable resolution... Robbie should pop round and discuss how he can further publicise the time Jimmy had a 14 year old fiancee. Hell, if he's quick enough he might even be able to ride the tail end of the R Kelly wave.
  7. Well done dude! It's gotta feel nice writing your name next to Craze's in this context.
  8. There is/was - I have one. Its sort of metallic grey with the older Stanton logo that looks like a tramp stamp from the 90s.
  9. Psychedelic Schizophrenic, congratulations mate! https://soundcloud.com/psychedelic_schizophrenic/wrist-jizz
  10. I think the closest youll find is 19 inch patch bays for racks. Thats how studios tend to do it, big complicated arse patch bays Youll definitely find better reverb pedals that the RV-5 but wether theyll be what you want, I couldnt say. Maybe if you have a local music shop that would let you try out a Strymon Blue Sky or similar? At least youd know if it was something youd aspire to one day or not. I still say get a spring tank or two. Its definitely the reverb for people who dont like reverb. For scratch drums, have you ever messed with short delays? I know you have a BBD rack unit and were interest in an El Capistan - both can make a mean slapback on scratch drums.
  11. Skippy the Bush Kangaroo has now left the building?
  12. JB - reverbs a funny one. It seems that most software ones just dont cut it to my ears - I have Altiverb and Waves plugins, both convolution and vintage classic emulations and theyre all bit meh. Like theyre useable tools when buried in the mix, but never sounds youd want to celebrate or make a feature of. Ive found hardware reverbs to be much more agreeable. But as ever you get what you pay for. Strymon and similar level companies definitely do some reverbs very well, to the point where at least some of the emulations they include are very nice indeed. And although they arent cheap, they arent like vintage Lexicon unit prices either. Actually as Ive mention the L-word, I must reiterate how much I enjoy my Digitech Polara - for a bit over £100, its Lexicon algorithms are surely the best value on the market. Not quite Strymon et al, but 80-90% of the way there for less than half the price of even a Blue Sky. What I will say for all reverb pedals though, even really expensive ones, is that the one reverb they never quite nail is spring. As such, Ive recently joined Pete and Paul in the cheap real spring club - Ive got an old Soundcraft notepad mixer I bought on eBay for £30 and an Accutronics short spring reverb tank that was £20 new and sounds great and blows all spring emulations away. With just one spring tank Im in mono of course, but another £20 and I can add another tank for the other channel. You can of course get longer spring tanks too for bigger reverb sounds, but actually the short spring it great for drums and synths and what was used on many a classic dub record, etc. The only negative thats not really negative at all, is the spring reverb is just one type of reverb - last week I had my synth running through both the Polara and spring and having it all connected together highlighted that theres many other great reverb sounds that arent spring and they certainly have their own merit too. All in though, my double reverb solution cost me £150 and apart from going to stereo in the spring, I really couldnt wish for more. So going forward, I wholeheartedly recommend the next addition to your drum machine Voltron is a cheap secondhand mini mixer (unless your Rane rack mixer has the send and spare channels with enough gain to do it without?) and a couple of spring reverb tanks. Then, once thats done, we can all discuss your options for tube preamps
  13. Yes indeed! Big ups to our gracious hosts and sexy performers. Top day and great to see everyone.
  14. The rest of the vinyl/tablist/beatmaking/hip hop internet should just shut up shop for today, nobodys topping this!
  15. I blame Marcus Tandy, also known to younger viewers as Nicholas Beckett, Ron Gregory, Roger Webb, Fraser Black or Steven Fletcher. He doesn't have a pressing plant sure, but he's the criminal mastermind
  16. The beats. Moschops Psyche https://soundcloud.com/psychedelic_schizophrenic/wrist-jizz Flexi Symatic Voting closes in week (an actual week, not a DV beat battle week )
  17. No problem mate. You werent to know! But yes, Im afraid this has been going on for while
