Went last night - interesting venue under the arches. Think a few DVers/ex-DVers were there. Obviously Symatic as he was in the competition. P-Nuts was competing too.
Think I spied Prime Cuts at one point as well.
Good event, particularly as it was free. And I got to play around with a Rane 72 and a pair of Twelves so, yeah, happy days.
Anyone else make it?

Given everything that I've heard about the delays and customer support (or lack thereof) I wouldn't go near it.
-
They're doing free tickets for the event. It's on Friday 27th September on the first night of the Beat Geek weekender near London Waterloo station.

Please do more of these! I will now think of this as the pizza method forever more.

I didn't realise they'd discontinued the SL2 and SL3 - I'm surprised about that.

For $500/£420 it looks great, although they really should include time-coded records with it. Soldering the line faders in is a bit meh too.
Ignoring the really cheap mixers that nobody really wants, it's weird that there's no middle ground with scratch DJ mixers. I mean, if there was a version of this that had mini-Innofaders for all 3 faders, with proper curve/reverse on all of them, I would pay an extra £100-£200 or so for that, but it seems like you either have to have a mixer with a decent crossfader only and basic/no curve/reverse controls, or you have to go for the super high end mixers that cost 3X as much as this or more.
Exactly what I was thinking. Also, bit odd to call it the Scratch and then not have those features on it.
-
I was hoping it would be in the £125-50 region. I still want one though.Considering the first words isit needs a 3rd party platter/arm/fader the same as the PT01, it is a bit overpriced.

most first look impressions have been underwhelmed with the new 12's. my only hope is that this will help lower the price of used mk2-mk5 12's.
If the build quality is as cack as it sounds it'll certainly help lower the price of the mk7s!
-
would be sweet if they released the sl-700's
dj koko will be fuckin dope at that opening event tho
This is what my brain was thinking when they were mentioning the 7th and 7, and with that lineup of DJs.
I'd love a 7 or 10" technics to play with.
Saw Dj Koco play at DJ Muro's Birthday party when we were on honeymoon in Tokyo! Absolutely killer!
I think you may well be on to something - that makes a lot of sense!

Acquired a CDJ 1000 mk3 at Christmas and the lights have just stopped working on the buttons (although the buttons and functions still work). Any ideas on the problem and fix?
Thanks

It starts off all right and the earlier part of the list is fine but it tails off in the middle and by the end it's dross. So, bit like hip hop really.

I still listen to what i was rocking in my 20's. My tastes have broadend though. I was strickly hip hop. Since then ive moved on to include soul, house, gospel, psych rock, funk, and the occasional jazz tune. Getting married and having kids is what really changed things. Its hard to listen to bitch betta have my money with kids in the car.
This.

They randomly stuck the number 7 at the beginning.

I've been out of the game for a while now. I just put my setup back together and realized that my shits a little dated. Im using m-audio torq for a dvs and that shit dosent run on windows 10. So if my old laptop takes a dump on me, i'm shit outta luck. And i just realized that my stanton sk-2f is like a vintage mixer now. So i've been considering getting a pioneer s3. upgraded mixer and it comes with serato dj. cant afford an s9 and i can use my mpk mini for midi triggers.
If you're not tied into Serato yet and looking at an s3-type mixer, you might want to try the djm250 mk2 - exactly the same mixer and a lot cheaper. Only real difference is it comes with Rekordbox DJ instead of Serato DJ.

Yes, I believe it was. I think the term originated in the UK to describe that type of black dance music coming out of the US in the early 80s. Disco was tainted by that point so people didn't want to describe it as that. Uk DJ Greg Wilson has an excellent history of it at this site: http://www.electrofunkroots.co.ukWhen its done well, it's great.
[Nerd Alert] Isn't it retrospective term, with the artists making RnB/Funk/Disco music some of which was later termed boogie?

Most 80s boogie stuff leaves me a little cold TBH. I guess its the disco-ness of it all.
80s funk however I have so much time for!
Ok,so that's an interesting point - 80s funk and 80s boogie - different or the same?
I always saw boogie as the funkier end of disco but not sure I could make much of a distinction between that and some of the 80s funk stuff.
80s boogie - Evelyn Champagne King, D-Train?
80s funk - Rick James, Cameo?
-
I love some of the 80's funk stuff, from the time you're describing. I dunno if its classed as Boogie, but theres some dope tunes that have that "everybody has limitless cocaine credit" vibe to them.
I'm thinking Rick James, Luther Vandross, Teena Marie, Mtume, and this killer track:

def not bogie vibes though right?
"everybody has limitless cocaine credit" vibe - lol! That is exactly it!
That's the fonk in the 80s right there.

When I think of 80s Boogie this sort of thing comes to mind.
Most of it is a bit plastic sounding to me..but some of it I can listen too,my missus likes that sort of music a lot..I have to play stuff like this for her on a saturday night usually hehe but I eventually switch it up to more Funk based stuff like this.
This is much more my kinda thing though.
I like the Funk served raw,thanks.
I dig it all, Dan!

funny this topic came up since i was just digging thru my records looking for some funky stuff. I think boogie is almost a blend of disco and funk. but maybe more disco than funk.
Yeah, pretty much - it's a fusion of the two, I think. Not sure it's one more than the other - just depends on the record. But it's stuff aimed squarely at the dancefloor. When it's the funkier end, I really like it.

I mean 80s boogie, the stuff that came out over the first four or five years of that decade. What do people think of it as a genre?

What does anyone know about these guys:
https://www.audimpex.cz/eshop/
Is this legit? Not sure how it could be stocking much of this stuff but has anyone had any dealings with them?

Options 1 or 2 sound like the best. Definitely get the 57, then you've got your built in audio interface and an incredible scratch mixer. If you really want to use Traktor 3 I guess you can keep hold of the Behringer.
-
The only Xone mixer designed for scratching remains the Xone 02. That's the one to get if you want Allen and Heath and a scratch mixer.
-
There's a bespoke innofader for it, I think. But you can fit an inno into pretty much anything so not sure why you'd bother with this.
Anyone going to IDA UK and Ireland Championships?

I actually had to catch a train back before the end so no idea on the results! Sorry.
