The original vinyl turntable is without doubt the most adept tool for mixing pre-made tunes. not really; there's a difference between what most people learned on and 'the best'. it's pretty shithouse actually. not to mention that every single club has some interesting and unique flaw in its decks. ...

I see what your saying, but ableton is a different method of performing. I take nothing away from it, but it isn't Dj'ing, it's something else entirely. I'd really like to use it out (as it is an amazing program), but I'm already comfortable with my own style of performance - and I've played hundred...

I would like to play my records with my mind in a football field sized anti-gravity tank to little green men in silver suits as much as anyone.

So why compromise with with something that embraces vinyl characteristics? Why not go all digital? Isn't it a little archaic to play your music off a fully digital system but use a turntable as an analog control for the pitch? Not at all. The original vinyl turntable is without doubt the most adept...

Gliding High

Digital is just natural progression, its unavoidable if you are serious about what you do. Having a digital system that embraces vinyl characteristics and playabilty should be a worthy compromise for any 'vinyl only' DJ - myself included. The technology is now up to scratch (pardon the pun), the gli...

I'm a vinyl only DJ, always have been - hate the feel of CD's. Just been swung on Traktor though, had a couple of plays on it now - and it is as close as I've been able to get for emulating slapping down a piece of vinyl on the platter and manipulating it like I would a piece of wax. I will be purch...

Thanx heaps guys

Just need a few more before I start putting things together - between this forum and several others I have used, I have some pretty sweet answers accross the board.

Any more lovers of RRR out there? Lay some opinions on me

Gliding High

Thanx guys :) Awesome answers. Been getting a fair few back - seems people really love RRR. Anyone want to share any good experiences? I know I've gone down there a few times to do shows, and its always been fun. We are lucky to have such a supportive community radio station. Leaping Larry L always ...

Hey, I'm currently writing a short paper about Radio RRR, and I need a bit of feedback about your thoughts on community radio. Bascially, the premise for my paper is 'What has RRR’s role been in helping shape Melbourne’s original and vibrant musical/creative culture, and how does this role differ fr...

'Sons of Anarchy' is where it's at. Made by the same guy who made 'The Shield.' Sort of like the Soprano's - but about a baddass, gun-running bikie gang. I love it. True Blood season 2 starts in June. Other worth watching stuff going into multiple seasons is 'In Treatment' and also the English drama...

Or during this decline in decknological skill, do we not even consider ourselves musicians any more? I never have and never will consider a DJ to be a musician. I do. I know lots of DJ's so good at what they do, that they would put a great deal of 'musicians' to shame. In fact, anyone that can mix ...

Gliding High

There's nothing wrong with it. If you want to set yourself apart from every other Tom, Dick and Harry that's decided to be a DJ for the month - and you want your set to be a bit more detailed, and have some depth, while at the same time challenging yourself to greater things - have a few notes. Band...

Just got 2 phonecalls asking the same thing - I didn't feel it, but you can lock it in as confirmed.

Yeah, yeah - I think I burnt both books in a nerdish fit of lit-rage, but will get them back :) Reading two books right now.. 'Matter' by Iain M. Banks. Really digging it. A highly original space/fantasy drama, expertly written - but maybe a bit too detailed for its own good. Very complex, and the n...

Starts in America in May. Will be downloading the torrent within hours of that. Can't wait :) The books are truly shitous. Stick with the show IMO. I read the first two, then couldn't take any more. Awesome, thanks for the heads up with the release. I'll defs be on the d.l! And yeps, will stay away...

Reading the Sookie Stackhouse chronicles right now, which are the inspiration for the HBO series True Blood. The books have all the imagination one could ask for, but read like they've been written by a teenager. Incredibly poor skills on the literary front. Not really digging it. The series is by ...

Gliding High

If your mixing fast and precise, a bit of pre-planning is an absolute must. As far as I know, the best club DJ's in the world all do this, and there is nothing wrong with it. Personally, I always stack my records in some semblance of order, and even have stickers on key records, with a code I've mad...

Oh and GH, I think way back in 1973 I was telling you about a mixed art school in Adelaide? Well, this is it. That's Krav Maga - the Israeli fighting art - I've done some of it - it is as brutal as it gets. I'm talking half a dozen dudes jumping on you, and you having to fight your way out at any c...

I never thought of it like that - but your absolutely right.

Wonder if Jesus ever hung out in titty bars??

Gliding High

Watched 'The Wrestler' the other night.
Dug it, but I thought the ending lacked a bit of detail, and this detracted overall from the film.
Mickey Rourke has come along as an older actor - I never rated him before he played Marv in Sin City.

This has got nothing to do with the last event, which some of you seem to be using as weird leverage to dissuade Andy from doing something decent.

I'm seriously not trying to antagonise anyone - I'm just stating a relevant opinion. As are Shep and Mellogs. I'd love for a gig to work, I truly don't think it would though.

I don't personally think a party is right. I'd feel guilty out dancing for this - but that is just me. I don't understand this point of view.
