its not bad, if you're sippin purple drank (promethezine and codeine)...

the bass and samples are good but it just reminds me of chopped and screwed hiphop style...

somethin more uptempo, with the mad bass and some nasty square wave mids would be the go :D

I know what your saying. Appreciate the honest feedback too.

It will sound more uptempo once I add some nice fast hats. some more toms and even some bongo sounds.

I don't want the whole actual song to sound uptempo. that's the beauty of dubstep. Slow beats over fast sounds. Its a real nice change and sounds interesting.

Real mind bending sort of style. Almost two diff genres/songs/speeds in the one tune.

HAHAHA ,that video is gold. well done!

i really love it man, great piece of work. very dark, grimey! the bassline is mental.

where the f**k did you get the samples!!! mint... while i was playing it my missus yelled out "what the f@#k is that!!!!" hahaha she has no idea what dubstep is

im listening to it again right now without watching the clip, it just gives me pictures of zombies and dead people digging themselves out of their graves... lol

one of the samples toward the end sounds familiar - the one saying "you know what s/he did". Sounds like the supposed father from Bad Boy Bubby

Yes datsik is class. For some reason he just uses perfect sounds. nothing over the top in terms of technicality, just real nice sounds and perfect perfect timing.

Check this guy out I know in adelaide. Vry good. Datsik style

:D top stuff!

that f3tch track 'Faded' should get a proper release, surely!

-edit

Jeeeez, having a listen to 'reverse kanga' now. losing my shit!

very good producer

Yeah F3tch got asked last week if he wants to spin his own tunes in the city. I was asked to. but no way near ready.

I reckon he could put on a good show with his tunes and some other stuff chucked in.

But, some of the features - who the hell is gonna use them in a live set! I think a lot of its there for the wow factor.

Without having had a good look at what it can do, I'd be betting that those features could be triggered via a sequencer, even in a live situation.

thats excellent mate - even if you don't play a lot of your own stuff, just maybe play the odd set here and there. Good to get a foot in the door so to speak, especially if you want to keep doing it in the future.

when you say not ready you mean your production stuff wise, or not ready at playing a good set out?

no doubt Steve.

For a lot those features to be put to work properly by a DJ, they'd really need to pre construct quite heavily.

With technology like Ableton, Traktor etc, i think that is the way things have really headed anyway. Those 2000s have just so much to offer, all this technology just jam packed in, its ridiculous.

on topic of set pre construction;Any punter knows pre constructed sets can highly disappoint - seen it happen quite a few times, where the big name producer/DJ rocks up and plays his set the way he knows how to play it, without reading the crowd. Some can absolutely 'wow' the crowd well if the mood and hype is there at the time, but other times it just fails big time. Good example - Parklife 2007 i think it was; Justice were playing one of the last sets of the day i think. Now, think - study your crowd, Justice - last set of the day, drunken peanuts everywhere, the drugheads have probably just consumed for the last stretch of the day - so its either A) right, lets churn out this latest indie electrorock melt your mind set we've programmed... or B) read the f*&^ing crowd, what do you think is gonna work well? - naturally, at this time of an evening, everyone wants to hear what they know (especially the majority at Adelaide events), maybe trip them out a bit with their favourite tracks with some good effects, re-shuffle bits with Ableton, whatever.

What option did Justice go for... A)!

He was one angry Frenchman at the end of the set. I don't think he will be returning here in a good hurry. The crowd were so shocked at the rubbish Justice had cooked up for a set, one dude took his thongs off and pegged them at the DJs head! HAHA!!!!

This is why i love DJs like John Digweed, Derrick Carter, Mark Farina, Andy C, Jeff Mills, and plenty more. Arm them with 3x CDJ 1000s, 3 Technics 1200s, whatever mixer tickles their fancy, maybe an effects unit (if not already in the mixer) and play a real bloody set for the crowd!

I do love and appreciate what you can do with all the digital technology though. But i really cant stand watching a dj sit behind the console playing with a mouse and computer. Could be sitting there with Media player minimised visiting redtube.com for all we know...

I agree/ I think the 2000 is a great piece of kit. BUt its getting to over the top.

I heard technics has stopped production of the 1200 tts. Panasonic is the actual giant that made these units.

sad day indeed. Still like vinyl. one of the best mixers in the world is a allen and heath xone92. fully anolouge.

Alot more skill involved mixing vinyl imo. or mixing without any digital bpms.

I guess its just alot neater when mixing with everything lit up.

My mate just got two CJD400s. great piece of kit. They can be used as actual sound cards. full usb. So many features.

Some people stuff around wit the effects and features that much and forget to actually mix. and sound neat.

Luke. Im sorta ready to mix live. But still want some more practice. to be honest would be pretty nervous playing live. Would also have to make a neat set. practice that set too.

practice makes perfect hey! no rush to get out there. when you've got more confidence.

I'd say if you're out at a bar one day with some mates, and feel like kicking the the current DJ whos playing there out of the console because they're doing a fking terrible job, then you're ready to play out!

shit didn't know that about the Tech's ceasing production! the day had to come though. i think they will always be the most valuable turntables no matter what else is on the market.

solid tables (literally)

TechnicsSL-1210M5G.jpg

RIP! haha

definitely a lot more skill in playing with vinyl. gotta keep your ear in the groove and ride those pitches! little things like a slightly warped record will have an effect in taking your beats out of sync in the mix

with CDJs you can have both channels opened up on the mixer / cross fader dead centre, with 2 tracks perfectly in sync, go take a piss and get a drink at the bar, come back, and they'll still be beatmatched... I reckon i'll go for 400s, i like them.

Hmmm, xmas pressie for myself....... :)

      How "plug and play" is the Haltech Pro for R33 GTST

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      If you haven't bought the ECU yet, I would strongly consider buying a modern ECU. Yes it is very easy to setup and tune, however it is lacking many of the features of a modern ECU. The pro plug in is something like 10 or 12 years old now? Can't remember exactly but it is very dated now. In that time the Elite was released and now we have the Nexus platform.  I would strongly consider not buying the ECU that is 3 generations old now (especially as it isn't a cheap ECU!).

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      Sorry I should have been more clear with the previous post.  The block is a sanding block - picture something like this https://motorguard.com/product/motor-guard-bgr161-bgr16-1-rigid-psa-sanding-block-2-5-8-x-16/ The guide coat is the paint It's two separate things I was talking about, there is no "block guide coat".

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      Maybe more accurately, you aren't just dulling the existing paint, you are giving the new paint something to 'grab on to'. By sanding the existing paint, you're creating a bunch of pores for the new paint to hook on to.  You can lay new paint over existing paint without sanding it, might last a year or two then sad times. The paint will peal/flake off in huge chunks. By sanding it, the new paint is able to hang onto it and won't flake off.  Depends on the primer you are using. When you buy your paint, as the paint supplier what grit of sand paper to use before you lay down the primer.  Use whatever you like as a guide coat. Pick a colour that really stands out in contrast to the paint. So say your sanding/painting a currently white car, using a black guide coat would work well. You very lightly lay the black guide coat down, then as you sand the car with the large block, all the high spots and low spots will stand out as the black paint is sanded off (or isn't sanded off).  When you buy your paint, hit up your supplier for recommendations for what paint to use for a guide coat if you're unsure what would work well with your setup.
