    Hey guys!

     

    Just thought i'd give you a little Pandamonium update and say Hi quick :)

     

    Firstly, I am currently in the works for my next project which is going to be another free download (let's face it, who's gonna pay for my music!?! lol). It is gonna be an EP of about 8 tracks featuring the vocal talents of Destruct (LA), Assa (Tactical Thinking UK), Sleaze (SW UK) and more, so looking to get that out early next year :)

     

    Secondly, I have recently put up 2 new free downloads on my soundcloud page, one is a remix of Bahamadia "Uknowhowwedo" and the other is a nice chilled out beat to blaze to called "Staceys Theme" (dedicated to the missus lol), and they can both be found over at https://soundcloud.com/djpandamonium

     

    Any feedback or help with sharing etc.. is hugely appreciated!

     

    p.s. Don't forget you can grab my debut album (and bonus disc) for free over at http://djpandamonium.bandcamp.com

     

    Take care DV family :)

    With regards to the scratch track, you have a good point there, but I do have a bonus disc for the album dropping this friday entitled "The Hidden Letter" featuring random old remixes remastered and some old recording's so might try and get a scratch track on that if I can finish it on time!

    Hey DV, Panda here.

     

    Just want to publicly apologise to a couple of you and set something straight as well.

     

    First of all, the reason I stopped posting here was I went through some fucked up shit a few years ago and just stopped using forums for a while, then just never went back for some reason, nothing personal to anyone, just one of those things.

     

    Secondly, I would like to apologise to Mattnice, Lase and Lewis for any trouble I caused a few years back, I was well slack with sending record's / paying back money etc.. no excuse's, just my head wasn't right at the time. Wasn't purpossfully trying to rip anyone off, and everyone got there money back in the end (if I didn't pay your money back lase, i'm really sorry, have geuinely not done on purpose, please private message me or something and I will transfer anything I owe you)

     

    There's nothing much more I can say on the subject apart from I can assure everyone that I wasn't intentionally trying to rip off anyone, I just royally f**ked up and I'm sorry. To those concerned, this may not change anything or how you percieve me, and I wouldn't blame you, just wanted to say my peace.

     

    Peace

    p.s. yeah I have put on quite a bit of weight lol, diet starts next week

    Official 2008 UK Final Review from Swifty!

    in MUSIC/DJ RELATED

    Posted

    With the Battle for Supremacy over the crowd eagerly anticipate the UK Final 2008 where the DJs take over the stage with a spec of just a pair of Technics decks and mixer. How it should be. Joining JFB in his second UK title defence were (in order of appearance before JFB) Rasp, Asian Hawk, Pandamonium, Loop Skywalker, Jeppa, Furious P, Switch, and Skully. This UK event would also be the first to have four past and present title holders - a fact that helped to make this a truly memorable DMC event. The UK Final judgment concept is simple - three boxes three names.

     

    Rasp was a perfect start for the competition, he opened up with a simple but to the point intro and unleashed plenty of beat manipulations with some scratch compilation - his performance kept perfect timing and there was a groove with a musical taste of 80's electro, house beats and even a big band jazz theme!

     

    Next up came 2005 UK Champion Asian Hawk miming the first fifty seconds of his vocal intro into a spaghetti-western themed track that was accompanied by beat chopping the Fat Boy's sample 'Human Beat Box' then a drum kick n' snare alongside a collection of scratches, ending in a gun shot. He also cleverly manipulated on one deck a drum beat with assortment of bass synths, guitars, strings and stabs. Apart from the intro, great - especially cutting up Jimi Hendrix's 'Voodoo Chile' at the end.

     

    Third along was DMC's first entry into the UK Final coming way back from the Plymouth heat - DJ Pandamonium. He introduced himself with a smooth, mellow lyric cutting set with a name check too and proceeded into another jazzy instrumental to perform a scratch piece - this again had the now expected collection of samples being arranged as a verse & chorus but Pandamonium added extra gaps in the beat to allow the scratches impact to be greater. Precise timing is crucial when exercising this feature and Pandamonium didn't give that total 'in control' feel throughout this piece. It was nice to hear original records being used and to his credit, by that point in the competition he was the DJ who had played the most hip hop records.

     

    Loop Skywalker also decided to intro himself using the 'Can Battle Breaks' LP electronica beat with a collection of bass n' synth samples rearranged through a manipulation of flared, transforming and orbit scratches. Its obvious this style has become standard in scratching presentations amongst Turntablist's and that the musical taste has shifted from a Drum & Bass groove to a rapid European electronica sound. Nevertheless, Loop was clean and his Game juggle kept a good bar arrangement and groove - the lyrical cutting ending was cool amongst the string of disses and effects with the most notable the Star Wars 'Darth Vader' quote "Now I Am the Master" coupled with the Vincent Price laughter from Michael Jackson 'Thriller'.

     

    Bournemouth heat winner Jeppa was up next and we all wondered whether he could back up his earlier evening show, coming runner up in the DMC Battle of Supremacy 2008. Opening up with a Drum & Bass version of Michael Jackson's "Human Nature", he scratch manipulated a solo saxophone over it which was so refreshing to hear that The Academy crowd was immediate in letting Jeppa know their approval. Watch out for this kid in the future.

     

    London heat winner Furious P was up next and grabbed The Academy's attention with a super head nodding P-Funk style groove. Of course there was a collection of vocal samples plus a rock guitar all being transformed and flared in various patterns. There was also a drum roll surprisingly inserted and cleverly cut back which excited the whole arrangement. His chase/back cueing juggles were seamless through the use of a very energetic electronica grooves which unfortunately was again followed by a just too familiar scratch routine session over the same type electronica music.

     

    Birmingham winner Switch had already reclaimed the Battle for Supremacy title for a record breaking successful third defence. Opening up with a short and to the point scratch session, he was juggling synths with beats as well as dropping out the beat at the same time - without doubt Switch's energetic style is a very action packed set that requires you to pay very, very close attention or you'll miss the fine detail. Summary: this performance clearly puts Switch, at this point, in the driving seat. Without doubt a huge highlight was the Nina Simone 'Feeling Good' juggle.

     

    The crowd was still going crazy when the man Skully walked onto the stage. Skully's reputation is well known and his 2000 Supremacy Title saw him beat UK heavyweight Plus One to become the 1st UK Supremacy Champion and gain entry into the World Battle for Supremacy & defeat the 96' World Champion DJ Noize to reach to the Supremacy final. He's also what I call a 'traditional Turntablist' - this is someone whose music roots are firmly based in the foundations of Hip Hop so you can expect 100% original records being selected and not simply a recompiled battle LP. This 'no compromise' attitude brought back a very much missed musical flow to the event, his set had everyone nodding their heads throughout and most importantly, there wasn't any out of place bars in his beat juggles. He had stage presence and a totally new set developed just for the final showing that this guy is very serious about winning this competition. The ongoing applause as he left the stage said it all - he was the one to beat!

     

    One of the most difficult decisions to make in any competition is to make a title defense. The expectancy level means there's so much to prove and it was JFB - the defending champion's turn to step into the limelight next. JFB had obviously spent a lot of time planning the content, he took full advantage to the facilities around him by pressing exclusive vocal punch lines designed to inject humor throughout the performance, technically the skill level was totally on it - there wasn't a beat or sample that wasn't manipulated in some form or another! So in came a difficult decision for the seven judges.

     

    3rd Place - Supremacy Champion Switch

    2nd Place - JFB

    1st Place - Skully

     

    Cue camera flashes and stupendous crowd noise!

     

    Cutmaster Swift

     

    Swifty has summed my performance pretty well i thought! No comments on my juggle routines though :(
