    Sir Steve, a long time since your last outing on here! Guard of honour....

    Ben Gold and Will Holland are the quiet gems in this lineup, looks good sir!

    Quadders! Still wielding your medieval sword I see :thumbsup:

    I suspect the night will see the decent DJs on early playing warm-up sets, or after PVD by which time my almost-40 year old legs will have given way. This has all the makings of picking a Grand National winner, looks good on paper, but lucky dip on the night.

    I'll be interested to see what the club is like, having known it as the Town & Country and then Creation. I hear its more like the T&C now, which was how I preferred it. Its alsowhere I met the wife. :thumbsup:

  16. Channel 4 Dance Music programmes!

    I enjoyed the documentary although the "Top 40" format was a bit flawed. I would rather it have been a proper documentary and flowed chronologically through from Sir Jimmy to the present day. I suspect it was designed the way it was to get maximum effect of their no.1.

    However, well worth watching and I learnt a fair bit about the sounds created (that guy in Detroit with his box of tricks, was superb) and more about the history.

    Trance barely featured, neither Jules for that matter. I thought he would have some good input on the legal side of the M25 raves and what about Norman Jay?

  18. Leeds, May Bank Holiday Weekend...Ideas?

    Thanks for all the responses and wishes. There's still a few weeks til I head south so hopefully an event will surface.

    I have done Basics a few times, right from my old stoodent days when it was at The Music Factory and latterly when it moved to Rehab. As you say, Tom, its not trance but its better than commercial nonsense.

    Trains are booked for the weekend already Chrissie. Less than £40 return :thumbsup:

  20. Leeds, May Bank Holiday Weekend...Ideas?

    Hi all.

    Good to see all the old faces still knocking about on here.

    I'm going to be in Leeds for the weekend of 4th-6th May and I'm looking for a decent place to go. I moved away in 2005 and this is my first visit back so I've no idea whats still open.

    Ideally a club that plays trance (possibly unrealistic, I know) but something close to it would do. I have no intention of taking my slacks and work shoes, so somewhere that is relaxed and casual, that isn't strict on dress code would be spot on.

    If anyone is around and wants to join in the fun, it would be great to meet again.

  22. Judge Jules to leave Radio 1.

    End of an era, albeit an era that I left about 5 years ago. However Jules has introduced me to some great tunes and been a key part in many a good night out.

    He has always been very accessible and would help out in anyway he could, often saving me a few door fees along the way.

    Music will always develop and I think Jules has had a good run at R1. He's very lucky to have an alternative career ready made and I wish him success with it.

  24. MP3 Editing & Mixing Software Suggestions?

    in Open Chat

    Posted

    A relative of mine is getting married next year and wants to include a 60min slot of their own music while the band takes a break. They have all the tracks as MP3 (purchased from iTunes) but they need editing to remove intros and outros, and then mxing together. This doesn't need to be beat-matched, just more the sort you would expect to hear at your local townie club.

    Can anyone recommend any software that will allow me to do this - that's preferably free!

    I've been look around and found http://audacity.sourceforge.net/about/features Will this do what I'm after - it seems to look the business?

    Any advice greatly appreciated :thumbsup:

  25. Top 100 DJs 2011

    My idea of a drop-down box would solve that issue too.

    That drop down list would have to be mahoosive though because the poll is open to, literally, everyone

    .

    Yep, massive indeed, but not impossible. It would also give them the opportunity to exclude producers that don't DJ. The big names could get their management company to submit their entry. The smaller local names should only be included with a short biog of where they play and this should weed out the fake entries. Whether these get checked up on should depend upon the level of voting and how much credibility they want to give the poll.
