^ sounds dope!

i had no idea chase & status made dubstep

one of my fav's from those guys: the Druids - on Bingo Beats. its repetitive, but i remember all the big boys in d&b giving this a flogging

[Luciano]

on another note - i bought some records for the first time in AGES this week.

some awesome deep house from Juno - im hell picky and selective as vinyl is not cheap. Some dope tunes from labels Plastic City, Ornate, NRK, MyHouseYourHouse, 20:20! cant wait to get my hands on em!

[Luciano]

another ripper; (sorry, cant help myself!)

[PREISS]

nice nice nice.

heading to the queens arms hotel city this Friday mate.

every Friday is dub night there now.

If you ever get the change pop in and have a listen.

[PREISS]

and yep it seems chase and status are making alot of dub now.

Had a listen to the album 'more than enough' and there was a real nice dub song in it

[Luciano]

i definitely will pop in sometime - will let ya know when i plan to Craig mate!

[Krishy]

I thought this was a wicked mix....certainly makes the song a lot better

[Luciano]

agreed Krishy. T Trash makes very simple tunes, but he seems to do it well, and to the liking of the masses. That one is a pretty good example, especially sampling a voice like goodrems and bringing that into clubland. worked extremely well imo

[Krishy]

yeah Luke he is very good at doing simple mixes where as other DJ's try going all hardcore and completely stuff up the mixes lol.....i thought that the Delta Goodrem mix was a briliant mix and very laid back.....

[PREISS]

first tune this dude drops in is f'n insane.

best basslines and tech noises.

takes awhile between tunes but still pretty good.

[PREISS]

Pretty sure Im getting this.

very very good price. They retail for around 1400.

8 sec sampler. USB port also. load FX on it etc. nice

[Luciano]

that little dub step mix was cool! very dark sounds hey

got a few records in the post on Friday, gonna have a bit of a mix up later! dont know how i'll go with this hangover though, haha

i don't know much about Denon gear, but i was having a chat to one of the guys at Derringers a while back and he said Denon was good quality. He mentioned a particular few Behringer mixers being a bit average/poor quality.

So you getting that mixer brand new Craig? it looks the goods

[PREISS]

yeah it really does look good. seen some vids on the mixer. great effects and great quality.

worth around 1400. Im hoping to get it for 650 from someone in NSW. great condish etc. Hopefully it all works out.

If it doesnt Im just gonna get a DJM 400 , or 600.

two decks. two cdjs and im set.

[Luciano]

awesome mate, thats a very good price for a 4ch will all those features

[TALBO]

Don't touch the Behringer stuff if reliability is what you're after....

[PREISS]

Don't touch the Behringer stuff if reliability is what you're after....

Yeah not touching any of it. its cheap stuff.

DENON have impressive home theatre stuff also. Quality.

Denon or Pioneer for mixers. Alan and heath mixers are good. but they look pretty bland and focus more on highs and lows with F all effects etc. Dont understand why they are so expensive.

Denon have always made good consumer grade audio gear, I'm not sure about their Pro Audio stuff but I'm thinking it can't be bad with the Denon name on it, same for Pioneer.

With Mixers (and built in effects), it's like most things..... you get what you pay for. Depending on where they're made and components used will dictate price to a certain degree. I'd rather have japanese made capacitors/inductors/op amps/transistors that are accurate (and made for the application) especially in an EQ then shithouse chinese junk in a useless built in effects processor which might sound OK when soloing individual tracks/channels but will sound shit in a mix.

Depends also on how you're going to use a bit of kit too. I wouldn't care to use cheap shit in a live situation but would think twice in a recording environment. Recordings potentially last forever, live performances are soon forgotten by yourself and even sooner by punters and realistically 95% of the punters wouldn't know the difference between a $10K Neve/SSL/API EQ or a $150 Behringer/Alto EQ.... not live anyway!

[Luciano]

i reckon this festival is going to be the ultimate fail:

parklife lineup is fkn rubbish this year too - im giving it a miss unless they announce a 2nd round lineup of good artists.

[PREISS]

yeah defqon1 is for pill poppers with no brain.

crown n sceptre last night. fn awesome show. never seen reggae styed dub b4. was good. then they went all out and the crowd loved it.

[Luciano]

agreed about defqon. if enchanted fails here, i don't see how defqon wont!

i was supposed to get down to that crown & sceptre show AND the vincenzo show at Sugar - missed out on both my missus got back from overseas yesterday. bloody bad timing!

edit - the vincenzo gig is next week.... hopefully nothing comes up and i can make it!!!
