You should check out the Pacemaker Sebastian Ingrosso video on the Pacemaker website, it’s well funny. The way those two dance is brilliant. The Pacemaker is an mp3 player with built in DJing and effects capabilities really cool I reckon but only for people that can afford to just splash out the cash. Not much [...]

Warning to anyone using Ableton 6 on a mac and wanting a midi controller - don’t buy a BCR2000 - it’s feels cheap and plasticy-nasty plus it comes up with random error codes when you try and dump the presets. RUBBISH! I’m gonna get an m-audio one or firefox.

George cheers for the Glasto breaks mix from….who was it again? It’s ace, the guy talking at the beginning is the kind of thing I was thinking of that I told you about. The guy warming up the crowd. Good stuff, old tunes too just like we kept hearing at GG.

When I went to see Luke Vibert at the Rescue Rooms in Nottingham in 2002 it really opened my eyes to what else could be done besides playing on decks.
He sat down on the balcony overlooking the bar and dancefloor and opened his apple mac with I “heart” acid stickers plastered all over it. He [...]

At one point [...]

Saw the chem bros at Glastonury this year and it was bloody amazing, another thing checked off my list of things to do before I die. The audio visuals were astounding, everything spot on and in time with the music, that’s what you need. So so good. Couldn’t really see what they were up to [...]

That record shop soon closed down either because he was withholding all the good records for his own sordid pleasures or probably because I was pretty much his only customer.
Another shop quickly sprung up though! It was brilliant! Owned by two keen, friendly guys that seemed to love their dance music and know what they [...]

When I first started out wanting to DJ I thought all I’d ever need was a mixer and a pair of decks as I’m sure 99% of wannabes also think.
I got a pair of manky stantons and a shite kam mixer which had nobs missing and a sticky cross-fader that had definitely seen better days. [...]
