Thanks =)

I've had so much shit from people the last few weeks from being punched, spat on by a jealous gf, to mugged, and both phone and wallet stolen, that I went zero-tolerance and turned to music to escape it all. Finally got things sorted again, but rather angry to say the least haha

There were TWO amazing tracks, yin and yang that complement each other. Remixes of Zombie Nation and Utah Saints.

You just had to go looking for them, rather than an attempt at self-validation because it's the top of the page or something. Call it a test of clarity, a test of an open-mind. Maybe the top is actually the bottom? Something to ponder.

Lately I've been seeing the recent Shed material being mentioned, but haven't really seen anyone pull any of his older material. This one is probably my favorite from his debut on Delsin.

Everything I've heard from Shed, from productions to mixes, are absolute monsters. I kinda wonder why, as much as he does get praise, isn't more ubiquitous.

Yeah but they were both terrible :| I honestly only went looking because I wanted to see how much of a train wreck that "dubstep" remix would be.

I mean if you going to go to all that effort to post a huge image, youd think linking it via youtube would be like ten times faster?!

The video is awesome too, it's based on a TV documentary on this actual scene in the North of France :)

So is that actual footage or is it just actors taking the piss? Because my brother was heavily involved (as was I) in the Australian (specifically Melbourne) "arm" of that thing (dB Drag Racing).

It's fun as hell, especially when you have an absolute shitheap of a car with a fairly poxy (but still decent) stereo with a VERY poxy install. Sitting out of your car with a Macguyvered wiring harness so you can control everything from outside, kneeling near the driver's side door with head-unit in hand (way before the norm of remotes coming with pretty much every head unit) is surprisingly exhilarating.

The Mixtrack is an excellent piece of equipment, so congrats! Looking forward to seeing you progress ;D If you have ANY questions about it and Traktor, I can help you out. I'm probably going to buy myself an X1 tomorrow, got a $50 gift card to a DJ shop in town, whoop!

Merry Christmas, guys. I'm almost done with my mix, promise.

In the meantime, here's a free Locked Groove song that I just recently fell head over heels in love with, "Affinity". That vocal, mmmph so good!

I don't have good access to my turntables due to holiday plans so I'm trying to construct a mix in Ableton. It's hard work and not all that fun, but at least it will be perfectly beatmatched.

Cheers! Just been messing about with it for awhile as ive only just found a dual red/white cable to hook it up.
Im finding it a 1000% times easier to browse tracks on than the traktor s2 atleast.

Got to learn how to use the mixer properly and how to beat match as using sync is not really the way forward!!

The most important thing to remember is to count in 8s, it's the formula for dance music. Phrases will almost always be in bars of 8 or 16, so if you get your counting down (gets really tricky when doing loops and trying to time the releases) you'll be good to go.

And, yeah, the S2 is kind of a weak piece of tech. I don't like it very much. I was originally saving up to get an S4, but I think I'll just save my cash a little longer to get a proper Pioneer or Allen&Heath mixer down the road.

Ah someone told me it was in 4s and you can tap it out on the cue button to help.

Lame attempt at being a smartarse :(

You'll definitely have a tonne of fun with the Mixtrack, though! I own the Vestax equivalent and don't use it as much as I want, but they're definitely an awesome substitute if you can't afford proper decks and a mixer (and who can? My config set me back around $3.5k AUD at least!).

Pro tip: If you can (and it might take you a while), try to disable things like the song key and BPM and learn to mix without them. Oh, and auto-beatmatch. They may be great to start with but if you wind up playing bedroom or bar parties, you may not have the luxury.

Pro tip #2: If you can't play with no assists (or without any of them), it doesn't fucking matter in the long run. As long as you have fun :)

Pro tip #3: It's probably more accurately in 4s, because I find it goes in four, then sixteen, then 32 beats. But listen to enough house and you soon get the hang of it!

Question, when I'm finished with my mix I'm making for new years, what's a good way or the easiest way to upload it online so my friends can download it and such?

The video was shot especially for Thomas Bangalter's edit, by Romain Gavras I think.

It is. As far as posting tracks I'm actually into (as opposed to tracks I might like or try to get into or whatever) I'm pretty sure every one of your recommendations in this thread has been right on point, at least for 2012. Tops work, tiger.

It really, really is. Unless you utterly despise your music having any REMOTE semblance of subtlety in it whatsoever. I rue the day I first heard it.

It's a great video. It's even better if all of the "contestants" remind you of the characters and their cars from Ali G: Indahouse. They're all spitting images of them!

It's not ignorant. I listened to one or two tracks, couldn't hear any lines that weren't vying for my attention by playing as loud as possible at any point in the track. That's not to say there wasn't any subtlety there, but everything was just too in my face to be appreciated on a separate level.

Ergo, your favourite music sucks ;)

Its originally Rap music music, stuff like 3 6 Mafia, Flaka Waka, Juciy J and stuff like that
Couple of examples:
Juicy J- Who Da Neighbours
Geeked Up Off Them Bars

Now (well fairly recently) people outside USA have started making stuff and its getting pretty popular. Its mostly Bass driven stuff so forming a half assed opinion of it via your laptop speakers when its meant to be heard in clubs is not the best way forward..

Ill just copy paste a post from another forum I go on.

You dismissed an entire genre based off "one of two songs" Thats like me saying "House is shit, I mean wow its just pop music for drunk people" because I had been linked "one or two" David Guetta tracks. Can you see why I get abit frustrated by it?

Hm. Must've been something else I was thinking of. It's not as bad as I wrote, but it's still not my thing. Those two tracks you posted certainly aren't as bad as I remember... but I'd still probably walk out of the room if I heard a DJ play them.

When something's posted in here, I expect it to be the pinnacle of whatever genre it slots into. I figured it was safe to assume that if it was posted in here and I didn't like it at all, then I would probably outright despise the rest of that specific genre.

(the songs do all sound pretty much the same though, don't you think? Unless I'm missing something... I mean, brostep does a similar thing whereby everything has identical structure, effects, instruments and filters and I don't think I'm missing anything there with how cookie-cutter everything is. But maybe I am. If you can point out to me how the songs vary though and what I should look for, I certainly wouldn't dismiss your point of view)
