I think bespoke artwork of DJ's wouldn't sell particularly well because there are only a handful of DJ's who would be classed as being iconic. Images of popular musicians/personalities only really works when they have achieved iconic status. Turnmills tried to auction paintings of DJ's as part of a charity event, for Nordorf Robbins I think, and it wasn't as successful as they'd anticipated. The art market is a tricky beast at the best of times and my tips would be to develop a very unique style to your work and take on bespoke work, since individual buyers want something truly unique as a general trend. I have friends in the art world and if you can create a series of works, I'd be more than happy to talk to them, on your behalf about your work and see if they'd display in their US and UK galleries, plus sell online etc.

lol - Serato CD 1 and Serato CD 2 makes up my wallet!

not bad - would rather see a lull in bootleg action however. too many around and they're getting in the way of quality original work.

Going to see him tomorrow for dinner so I'll point him in the direction of Tesco's for his weekly food shop!

They should really put a donk on it!

Do please keep Fabio in your thoughts... he's recovering from a rather nasty bout of food poisoning from some dodgy bacon!

An 'Old fogies' sub-forum is in desperate need! I'll point Danny towards this topic... he'll probably agree with a lot of it!

I reckon he probably watched Hackers a few too many times...

Folks'll just go back to free/illegal downloading if this becomes a trend across the digital stores.

Specsavers sell earplugs FYI - Just visit a store which has a hearing centre where you'll get a free hearing test, plus the mould made for your custom plugs.

Shame that Daley's partner let him down. He just completely lost his groove from his first dive. Hopefully Daley can do himself proud in the solo 10m competition.

The tennis should be good this year since most of the big hitters are after Olympic supremacy so I'll be watching that along with the rowing, boxing and track events, oh and the cycling too. Basically, any sport we stand a chance at winning any metal! I think the yanks have a lot of say about times since it's US companies who plough lots of sponsorship money into the games so naturally they want their products seen by the US public. It's awesome that you know people competing in the swimming competitions; I dare say you're willing them on!

I agree with SpinDoctor - make your own samples/loops out of soft synths and drum machines. Also lifting samples from obscure records is quite interesting too for rhythms and stab sounds.

^ yes yes yes, we get the picture - over promotion of an even just smacks of desperation.

The problem I've found with the two dayer is that the energy levels seem to drop on the second day, with too many partied out clubbers from the previous day/night trying in vain to stay awake. Of course there are other methods to remain away but it's not the prettiest sight in the world witnessing an group of 18 year olds gurning at 3pm!!! I've been lucky in the fact I've always stayed in nearby hotels in Stratford-upon-Avon when I've been to GK, but I've noticed a steady increase of pikeys at the event. This said, I hope you have a great time and the trance tent is rockin'!!!

Dance/Electronic music hasn't moved on sufficiently enough since last GodsChicken so it'll be the same bleeps and crap like that.

Nah - it's predicted to be wet so giving it a miss. The line up hasn't knocked me out either.

Ooooh yeah - Tenaglia played there a fair few times too. The problem about the club is that most licensed premises around the area have to close by 3am so the police can clear the area of people and the council workers can tidy up the area in advance of the next day's tourists hitting Leicester Sq. With stringent laws in place, clubbers were more likely to goto clubs where they could carry on until 6am so Home closed down sadly.

He's always said he's happier in the studio being a geek rather than being out and about so chances are he is a wizz on Ableton.

Sweet. It'd be great to have it on whilst doing admin bits and pieces! Looking forward to it

I guess people continue to buy into the hype with a lot of these producer/dj types. Tocadisco is a similar example... brilliant tunes/remixes but his DJ skill pales into insignificance for me.

Couldn't put it better myself!

Awesome - if you have the mix recorded, please do share it with us all!!! 3 hrs of interesting progressiva is always welcome!!!

Good report... even better t/l!
