  1. not sure about NYE boxing day, gareth emery & jon o bir @ warehouse project
  2. caned & unable also love keep me running
  3. theres steps you can take to speed up a mac if your a mac user. download and use cleanmymac http://macpaw.com/ or use onyx - great program for clearing things or delete your caches in both your home library folder and also macintosh HD root. so home folder/library and delete the caches folder and mactosh HD/library and delete the caches folder reboot and it will re-create and speed things up a lot. onyx will do both of them automated though and its free!
  4. depends on the sort of night your looking at runnning but jordan suckley always plays a good set ali wilson, jon o'bir,, sophie sugar pretty much any dj thats uk based will be heck of a lot cheaper to book
  5. the point im making is decent tunes are out there, even if there slower tunes they are out there, yeah maybe less of them, but it doesnt seem to be a major issue for djs like emery, armin, o'callaghan or any other dj worth there salt finding them and making a good set out of them.....even if they arnt at 137 bpm which was the norm a few years back
  6. i disagree, there are good tunes out there and good faster tunes, yeh maybe there is less of them but they are there. how can armin and alike can find uplifting decent trancers i.e john o'callaghan stuff, daniel kandi, orjan nilsen tunes etc......
  7. i guess he has a lot of input in them, seeing as he's at most gigs and partly produces the radio show......make up your own mind.....
  8. yeahhh traktor is probably your best bet, but it doesnt come cheap. alot of people use traktor scratch pro with this controller - kontrol X1 http://www.native-instruments.com/#/en/products/dj/traktor-kontrol-x1/?page=1222
  9. its usually a note or something of the mind from the person who cut the record, sometimes you'll find there name on it, sometimes like a message or riddle
  10. i sold my iphone 4 mainly cos i was bored of it (having owned previous iphones) and it was the worst mistake i made!! i currently own a HTC desire HD and its shockingly bad, terrible battery life, crap interface and i dont like it. I cant afford to buy another iphone 4 outright and my contracts not up til; december, so im looking at getting a blackberry. All i say is do it if your getting a good offer. one thing to point out though, you mention you've put aussie sim cards etc inside it, beware that the iphone 4 doesnt take a regular full size sim card - it uses a Micro Sim Variety which is smaller than a normal full size sim, see pic
  11. his sets can be hit or miss i think is the thing....... the 3rd deck setup i know is only used for jingles and accapellas over tracks... i guess there used when the dancefloor is struggling in a bid to gear the crowd up a bit...but surely thats an issue to do with the music played and the order its played? do they work in a full dance club environment i.e gatecrasher, godskitchen, arches etc? - no and he will get slated for it as its a commercial thing to do. does it work in a commercial environment i.e luminar type clubs? - yes, but don't confuse the 2 types of clubs and clubbers im guessing the idea for the jingles is jules or amandas, becuase iv never heard tristan do them in a set of his which i've heard on a different note, maybe he's considering a b plan for the gigs drying up or his heart isnt in it anymore?, as taken from another board - Jules becomes a solicitor: http://www.matthardwick.com/forums/showthread.php?t=38098 http://www.comparelegaljobs.com/ItIsLegal/Could-Judge-Jules-be-your-next-trainee.aspx?dm_i=KGM%2CF0P9%2C2YPUYO%2C17GFZ%2C1
  12. shes not that bad, but shes not that great either from what i've heard on tracks......
  13. pretty much the same old crap......one or 2 decent nights there
  14. there hanging fire with releasing the lineups for some reason they was supposed to be announced wed but are still yet to come out...... its more than likely gonna be the same old.....a mix of tristan d / vicky devine, jules, probably jordan suckley this year as a regular....
  15. its all really down to listening figure and the show overall......so if the presenters good and the figures are good why change it??
  16. if anyone aint heard the latest essential mix he's done, listen to it, its bloody fantastic!! classics sampled, along with film dialogues http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00zqgtv Essential Mix Intro A Guy Called Gerald – Voodoo Ray (Tong & Rogers Edit) [Warlock Records] LaTour – Blue (Nush Me Club Mix) [blunted] React 2 Rhythm – Intoxication [Jackpot] Leftfield – Not Forgotten [Hard Hands] Ruffneck – Everybody (feat Yavahn) (Acapella) [strictly Rhythm] Lil’ Mo’ Yin Yang – Reach [strictly Rhythm] K-Scope – Planet K [Tribal] Phonique – 99 And A Half (Feat Alexander East) (I Cube Remix) [Dessous Recordings] Green Velvet – La La Land (FK Dub) [Credence] Garbage – When I Grow Up (Acappella) [Mushroom Records] Miss Kitten – Golden Shower [City Rockers] Victor Calderone & Matt Quayle – Resonate Ethan – In My Heart (Dub) [back Yard Recordings] Spektrum – Kinda New (Tiefschwarz Mix) [Nonstop Recordings] Jimi Electric – Baby Come Down (Deadguys Instrumental) Moby – Go (Part) [Mute Recrods] The Future Sound of London – Papua New Guinea (Part) [Jumpin’ & Pumpin’] UNKLE – Reign (feat.

  17. tbh iv never heard a bad thing said about ferry corsten in terms of dj sets. probably the most consistent trance dj out there, and his mixing is absolutely spot on, all the time. Production wise he's ace too, went a bit experimental in the LEF stage, but still a decent producer, sometimes i reckon he's not been given the credit he deserves.

    Mrs O R

    apparently the mixmag cover was airburshed from what i heard. but these are off her own facebook post...... seems a publicity stunt, either that or shes wanting to try and become a model.......
  19. ipods work and are industry standard, they do the job, and if you dont like itunes, you can always use 3rd party applications to manage them.........
  20. you mention the sloppy mixing and the set flow, watch the dj's of jules at http://www.be-at.tv/ and you'll work the reasons why the sloppy mixing is down to mixing on the fly - this is a dj thing, but basically he mixes tunes at last min on the fly, and doesnt pre-mix them first and then do the final mix near the end of the track, like a lot of djs do, to make sure things are correct, also the sennheiser hd25sp headphones personally i dont think are upto the job as for set flow, this goes back to what i mentioned above, watch the vids at http://www.be-at.tv/ and you'll work it out
  21. jules has himself commented in his own diaries that the poll is good for mainly for overseas bookings, mainly i think in the us where they keep a keen eye on the poll in terms of booking djs. The rules of the dj mag poll say you can plug the poll as much as you want and market yourself for plugs via social networking sites, you just can't rig the votes and get agencies to do massive vote rigging scams where they get 100's of users to all vote off different ip addresses etc. In terms of his market, i guess he's possibly a big name version of dave pearce in essence, maybe appealing to more commercial market in the uk, ask anyone who knows a good background about EDM and they will slate him, and they cant understand why he's headlining some gigs such as godskitchen, mainly due to musical choice and bad mixing, personally i think thats got a lot to do with mixing on the fly and rushing them, and not preparing the mix and taking time on it, i in the headphones, before the final mix and playing it live...... Contrary to what people say about music and mixing though, iv heard it many a times said that he's still a legend in terms of the scene and still despite his age one of the most energetic dj's behind the decks out there.

  23. i used to own this and sold it, but looking at buying it again and also getting a decent controller, such as the akai APC 40, Or the kontrol x1
  24. [rather than it being a stream coming off a dab radio its more likely gonna be took from the stream to the transmitters, so probably not 128kmbs upped to 320kbs
