john I finally listened to yamaneko pixel wave embrace

really great grime instrumentals, would love to see him produce some people in the future. He reminds me a lot of early Ruff Sqwad styles.

There was a time when I couldn't stand MC's. Now I either love them or just notice them. The shift was gradual but I'm glad it happened.

Hahah i love the highest comments on these vids, its allways "wtf guy wont shut up"

I guess its a very Uk thing to have an MC/Host. I was hoping it was ASBO who just loses his shit for an hour.

cool, Andy Stott is 12am-1am, Robert Hood is 1am-3am, and Kowton is 12:30-2am. Should be able to fit him in between the first two. Matrixxman & Vin Sol are directly after Galcher Lustwerk and Young Male on Sunday so that works perfectly too

Andy Stott was suitably weird, Kowton and Robert Hood were great, and Galcher Lustwerk and Young Male were fun for the hour or so I went back today. Good honest techno party all around

Hey DJs in the thread, I need some mixing advice and tips. I'm currently using a Traktor S2 and plan to move to CD-Js soon. I think my programming is pretty good, however, I really want to also get better at mixing. I recently saw some of the Rizumu guys from Philly play here and all of them are remarkable DJs. Their mixing and transitions were silky smooth and it really prompted me to improve as well.

I know this is really broad, but can you guys give some general advice on mixing tracks together, keeping your levels normal, etc

Are you opting for those silky smooth transitions? Harmonic mixing and long blends are the trick to do that stuff.

edit: and knowing your tunes inside out.

I'm still very amateur at dj-ing but in my short experience the best thing is to really know everything about the tracks you're working with. Being able to tell parts of different tracks that would go well together seems extremely useful

#1 rule for smooth transitions is to know your shit inside and out.

Learn how to use the high pass and low pass filters appropriately. If used properly, this will really make things sound far more natural than just killing the lows/highs via EQ.

Don't rush things. Long transitions are your friend.

But really, know your shit inside and out is the biggest thing. Know when a track is at its peak so you can start to bring in another track, or when its peak is ending. Learn what elements are inside of a track and what the next track can add to the current track. Does the current track lack high hats or claps? Find another track that has those and bring them in slowly. Using a track that is lacking a vocal, but has room in the mid for a vocal? Bring in a vocal track.

A DJ who doesn't know his tracks will make for a sloppy set. Practice at home and make mistakes. That's how you'll really start to learn how tracks work and, more importantly, how they work together.

I gave the new Purity Ring a chance and I've come to accept their flavor of synthpop isn't for me. The album was generic and ultimately boring.
