  1. Gunna download it later on lappy
  2. It's cool but my table eats keeps missing the odd loop when I download it, spoilt for choice with pyc and brokes looper
  3. Had some great nights and some shockers recently me Eric. You can't really predict how a night will go either. Weddings are pretty difficult because you have a large range of musical taste to cater for. I played a cheesy 90s chart party recently and it fell on its arse. I played a r&b vs drummer night that I thought would fail, we was the busiest pub/club on the night ?? I've tried explaining to a few peeps on fb that stood scratching in front of a go pro and having to deal with stroppy teenagers requesting deep house are two different things. It sometimes falls on deaf ears. Being a good DJ is not about our musical taste, ability on a fader or individuality. It's about playing songs that people like and want to dance to/listen to. Things like reading the mood of the crowd and interacting with them are just as important tools as 3clik reverse arse cracks. If you can implement all of the above into a DJ set then I suppose you can call yourself a good DJ. I seen some pics of Eric on fb and he looked like he was having a good time. Well there's rule number 1 smile ๐Ÿ˜€๐Ÿ˜€๐Ÿ˜€๐Ÿ˜€๐Ÿ˜€๐Ÿ˜€ But the DJ game is a funny one like I say and you can sometimes deliver all of those things and the crowd might still not want to know. It's a funny old game!
  4. I followed the day's events on fb, gotta say it was difficult to watch at times as I was gutted not to be there. It was a bit like watching your Saturday team win but you couldn't play cos injured. Yeah your buzzing we've won and for your team mates but left feeling empty afterwards because you missed out๐Ÿ˜• Either way the pics and vids look great, the tinsel and that really added to it all. The venue looks great as well it looked really roomy and chilled and the disco ball looked ace๐Ÿ˜€ good job I never attended after seeing the disco ball I would have probably started playing house tracks and selling pills in the toilets. ๐Ÿ˜ฎ
  5. fuck it im going full on arse lick mode on this one broke, i haven't even cut to it yet but i can tell ya i spent about an hour just listening to it, i also like the way like in your other loopers you start slower then up to midrange then crazy horse at the end, which is convenient seeing as i will probably cut to every single beat one after another and it warms me up nicely. dont care if mi tongue goes brown and drops off lads i think this loopers dope.
  6. The cuasito would definitely be accepted in my wardrobe.
  7. Yeah sorry I can't make it dub. I feel worse cos now jams not coming. Both nights would have been miles better for us yorkie puds travel wise and scratch wise but this time it's not to be. I'll make sure I get me and the jam there nice and early on Sunday mornin. โ˜บ๏ธ
  8. I love my flat cap, I bin wearing it when djing since before we started reminiss 2000 sometime. I used to play a r&b night at a club called fez with a DJ called goldbourne, toots and dean. It was the number 1 spot in the town at the time and I had some awesome nights playing there Ray mentioned on fb other day Jokingly I bit my style from some guy called mandrake? Nah I wore mine b4 fashion dictated mandrake bit me !! yall my sons.
  9. i got a cool bit of wax to chuck in ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿฝ
  10. I'd love to come down on the sat Phil, it's all dependant on wherever me old boy will lend me his motor for the full weekend?? My golf is a clapped out skip on wheels๐Ÿ˜Ÿ Next option would be train but I don't know if I can finance that this close to Crimbo? I certainly don't wanna miss out on the festive cut craziness Saturday showdown. Hopefully I can twist the old boys arm or put him in a choker till he says yeah. Either way I'm down for secret Santa ๐Ÿ’ฅ
  11. Cut a long story short I suppose the only one with any right to be angry is Ritchie, being called a biter in the scratch game is like being called a nonce on c wing. The rest of us well we still entitled to our opinion as long as we express it respectfully.
  12. Can understand everyone's view here, and jons right a few of us did jump on the bandwagon a little just for fun really I don't believe it was out real malicious. But if he's attacking Ritchie on social media he gottA expect a bit of a backlash. Obviously we gunna get behind him he's one of us int he. Hull and Scotland have traditionally been linked for millennia with our unemployment, drink/drug abuse and high rates of STI's. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ Oh and dope cutters!!! ๐Ÿ˜‰
  13. Also would be interesting to know what you guys called cuts. We used to cal a tear a wobble or sumet ha๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ jam can clarify. Just playing a sample we called repeats Think we used to call the chirp choppin, I think because we was chopping half the sound away, then we thought that was the flare ha we was wrong. There was the pull back which was a slow second half of a baby. Then there was Agh fuk it I'm chombawafflin, I shud have put this on a different thread anywayz๐Ÿ˜‰
  14. I know what you mean Jon but on the same hand I agree with Pete. It does raise a few issues like for instance what constitutes biting anywayz? And therefore warrants discussion. I remember the days before all these fancy 2clik variations. And pretty much every DJ used similar transform patterns. We all did what q now calls the joe Cooley on the right deck. We all did what I called the 2 forward ( 2 trannys on 1 forward stroke) as used by cash and David. I use that same motion when I'm 2 clikin, and the 3 forward I use wen I'm 3 clikkin. I mean how far do you go ?? Unless Ritchie used the same beat and the same sample at the same speed and copied exactly ruks routine how can he say it's biting? I'm not entirely sure what ruks on about but I presume it's the short autobahn thing with a few diced trannys here and there, which to my knowledge is basically made of combining closed faderd baby and a one forward ( one tranny clk) or a stab if done slow, well I was doing that pattern (slower and spaced differently) on the upfaders when I was 14 or sumet. I was at jams only a week or so ago and I was on about doin closed faderd 2 clks on the ups wen we was both below the age of fifteen. I'm not saying I was doin out special as I heard them stab/ baby combos on all the old rap tunes. Sorry bout the silly names I use for patterns but that was something me n jam did automatically as youths so we could talk bout the cuts we was doing. I'm sure all you lot had your own names for cuts. To summarise I personally think all cuts today are made from a small selection of cuts. So if you wanna be a dick you could say if your name isn't Theodore or flare or whatever then your biting. Or can someone please tell me the rules on this? Because it sounds a little like the sampling documentary I seen lately somewhere as in what constitutes stealing/ copyright infringement. Like they say in that doc, rap is made from sampling taking something and changing it to make something new, if that's the case then what Ritchie was doing is in fact true to the values of rap/hip hop. #canofworms
  15. My tethering Internet all used up but I can still play it from phone to mixer. Some cool beats on there. I get different flows going on with the change in beats. Top work Adam.
  16. I'm all for learning combos, for example I can take a combo and vary it to make something more musically structured. E.g do a 1 bar combo, then do a variant then do the first combo again and then do a different variant. Already it sounds a lot more musical and more entertaining to the lamen ear. I think subconsciously I'm always cutting with method behind the madness, even when I get all random there's still structure to it. I think that's the essence of good flow when you can hear the structure in the unstructured, like making shapes from clouds sorta thing ??? Also I bin learning a combo with a reverse baby at the end of the sample one clicked and I find that particular part of the combo challenging, but constantly knocking that combo out will improve my mirrored one click, so they benefit your scratch repertoire also. Another good thing I find about combos and I've always had this mindset is when you perform anywhere and u first get on your hands ain't quite warm or it's a new club and your feeling a little apprehensive it's good to have a few tried and trusted combos u can smash out without thinking. I've always offered the same advice to djs I've taught to mix have your first few tracks worked out just to get past the nervey stage till u find your feet, I guarantee once you see positive feedback from the crowd it's like u get turbo boost then your good shit just flows out.
  17. Pointa I watched that vid b4 as well, I'm sure I seen a older vid same technique but he calls it a boom flare, regardless of which one it's called its a cool cut, the only bad thing about it is I do it too much although I do have a few variations with crabs and wave tears.
  18. I thought it was quite sharp considering the pace ๐Ÿ˜‰
