  1. still lurking bitches. 2800 posts don't come easy ;)

  2. Lorn, straight up, your 1st looper is probably the best to ever hit the interweb.
  3. http://www.zshare.net/audio/41821014e9093a/ Peep. Spread. Lemme know what you think!
  4. Marco Polo ft. Masta Ace - Nostalgia
  5. This interviewer is a fuckin' idiot. Necro's entire career is based on being as lewd and obscene and ludacris as possible. Did this guy think he was gonna come on the show and start talking to Common about his love for hip hop and shit? This guy is a fucking backpack-hippy-faggot. I'd never listen to his show after that. Necro came on the show as necro. Nothing more nothing less. Take it or leave it. That's like inviting Johny Rotten to a tea party and then wondering why he's pissing in the kettle.
  6. yeah this song is tight.
  7. hahaha. cute. SSL is a fucking godsend for trying out new music at the club without having to buy it first.
  8. you da bomb. thank you.
  9. Masters at Work - Work (Original Mix) The new paserock single (lindsay lohans revens/sexy motherfucker) Wale Oyejide - Africahot Depeche Mode - Personal Jesus (Josh Patrick Rmx) Irfane - Just a Little Lovin Chemical Brothers - Block Rockin Beats ----------------- If you can provide any of these in 192 + KBPS that's be awesome. Basically, I'm playing at this new saturday night spot, and I think some more electronic tunes would go over well, so I'm just want to try out some different styles (hence the range of songs above) if you could post these up by the end of the day, i'd really appreciate it. P.S. Vekked, I know I still owe you homie. Trust me i didn't forget
  10. beatles? they were aight....
  11. try NOT to scratch in records. Learn to just drop the record in on the right beat by counting so the scratching won't be a distraction to you. Once you get this down, you'll be able to scratch in whatever the hell you want (although i do find it a bit difficult to cut and count at times also) on beat. Walk then run nahmean.
  12. If you have an 8 beat intro, you'd drop it on the [9] beat in the above example. If you do for some reason wait too long, i suggest dropping the next track in at the beginning of a "phrase" (verse/chorus) and just fading the 1st one out over the length of the incoming track's intro. This way you have poor continuity, but at least you don't have clashing sounds. This shouldn't be that tough, just count your beats. Occasionally if a song has like a 2.5 beat intro or something it can get tricky, but anything divisible by 2 is really just a matter of counting it out. I honestly don't see how this will help you learn to drop you mixes in on time at all. Why do you think this will be useful? Just count. If in doubt, count. you'll get the hang of it soon enough.
  13. this should be a sticky thread.
  14. in my opinion, the answer to your question in most cases is "yes." Think about it this way.... Lets take Biggie's "Hypnotize" (95 bpm, 32 beat chorus) and Gold Digger (94 bpm, 4 beat intro) Here is how the biggie chorus goes [1] Biggie Biggie [2] Biggie- [3] Can't you [4] see [5] Sometimes your [6] words just hy[7]pnotize [8] me [9] And I just [10] love your [11] flashy [12] ways [13] This is why I'm [14] broke and [15] you're so pa[16]id-- *repeat for another 16 beats Ok that took FOREVER to do, so you better appreciate this LMAO... So if the kanye song has a 4 beat intro, you start the intro on the 13 beat and then biggie chorus ends and the kanye song begins. Perfect switch. "This is why i'm broke any you're so paid [switch] Now I aint sayin' she's a gold digger..." Now lets say you started it on the 9 beat instead (1 bar early). The crowd would hear "And I just love your flashy ways [illogical switch] Now I ain't sayin' she's a gold digger..." Ya dig? I think your question is kind of like "When writing a story, should you finish one paragraph before starting the next or should you go with the flow?" I mean, you can "go with the flow," but you're going to seriously leave the reader scratching his head. With the above said, there are obviously exceptions to all rules.
