Just for you: "Is that a swordfish, or are you just happy to see me?"

Comments removed.

If you're interested in stopping in early, I'll be opening the night until about 11:30 or so on the main floor.

As you may have heard, Craig Richards is unable to perform tomorrow night. I will be filling in for the night along with Scottie B. It's unfortunate that this opportunity has arisen under such circumstances, but I'm very honored to have been asked and will do the best job I can. I hope that some of you who were planning on coming out will still do so. Hidden @ Discotheque w/ Scottie B 17 West 19th Street @ between 5th and 6th Avenue $15

Thanks all for the mention!! NYC is FULL of very talented up and coming DJ's... and in terms of pulling in a crowd @ Space in Miami... It might be smart on your part to pay attention to the lounge and bar scene in NYC as this is where the new wave of talent exists... I don't even know where to start in compiling a list of DJ's in the NYC area that are making a name for themselves here... DJ dM Burchan Acar Mike Cala Rob Sperte Keith Walter Amy Walter Kurtis Patrick Spoony D Frankie Pep Bill Patrick DJ Mac C Matt Licata Tom Amoroso Dennis Rodgers Dave Hollands Tal Aaron Mark Divine Don Sheridan I could go on and on... really... and making a list like this makes me realize that I'm probably leaving OFF just as many just because they're not coming to mind right now... Are these headliner DJ's just yet? No, of course not... but check who you're booking in 2-3 years... I bet some of these will be on that list.

I'll be playing with Bill Patrick and Mark Divine @ Mark's excellent D3 party @ Leopard Lounge this Thursday, June 27. Rich Woods 10-12 Bill Patrick 12-2 Mark Divine 2-4

SUCH a good time last night!!! And that sound was SO fucking sick... liquid bass that just vibrated your whole being... Nice 127 bpm minimal techno...

I think they'd seat me inside the kitchen by those standards...

Thanks!! I know far too many DJ's to list a top 10... and they continue to turn me out... so I'll just leave it at that... diplomatic I know but I seriously could not do justice to the VAST number of dj's that I know and enjoy going out to hear... even compiling a list wouldn't do justice because I'd be here for an hour remembering them all... so sue me!!

I'm scheduled to spin from 10-12, possibly 1. Then Steve Lawler takes over. I'm assuming I'll see none of you on the dance floor for my set.

Enjoy!! Hope to see some of you out.

You leave the cross fader in the middle and use the channel faders to mix...

I wish I could have heard Junior @ Sound Factory... People I know who went have such incredible memories of those parties and the legendary things that Junior did... I heard him last about 2 years ago and I was apalled... and my friends who used to be HUGE Arena heads can't stand Exit now... It really is a shame because from what I understand he used to be SOOOO good. But then again, so was Oakenfold.

I started @ age 32, so I obviously didn't think it was too late... 1200's & 1210's differ slightly in that the 1210's don't have the center click quartz lock... they have a button instead with no click spot in the middle. However, when you play out most places will have the old 1200's which means that you should keep that in mind when you're practicing... usually it just means adjusting the record you're mixing into a little up or down to get the pitch control of the record you're mixing in away from that zero click as when the light comes on you WILL lose your mix as it's kinda wonky right there. I learned using a mini stereo. All you need is 2 speakers that will allow you to hear clearly. Alot of people will tell you that you need to go out and buy alot of expensive top of the line equipment but that's not necessary. When you're starting out all you need are the bare minimum to learn the basics: mixing one record into another. As far as HOW to learn how to beatmatch, I guess all I can say is practice practice practice... get 2 copies of the same record and ride them over one another... try keeping 2 different records on beat without using your headphones... keep your headphone level as LOW as you can and still hear it... split your focus between the kick and the snare... sometimes it's easier to mix using the high end sounds rather than the bass-y sounds as these tend to spread out in club environments... Also: When you're learning, keep in mind that most major NYC clubs have a Urei mixer. This is a knob mixer that does not have ANY of the bells and whistles you might be used to on your fancy mixer at home: no channel EQ's, no headphone mix feature, no headphone split feature, no cross fader, no gain/trim control, etc. etc. If you come to rely on any of those features to get you through your mixes you're gonna be in sorry shape when you step foot in a major club booth and realize that all you've got to use is this Urei. Learn using only the channel faders and only have the channel you're cueing up in your headphones... leave the channel EQ's alone... Now when you've LEARNED how to mix using levels you can start messing with those other things as a lot of the smaller lounges will have mixers with those features... but for starting out, learn the basics and leave the rest for later.

No worries. I own a pair of Gemini Direct Drive XL-600's. I won't upgrade to 1200's until these things stop working completely. However, I do my demo's at a friend's house on a pair of 1200's; they do hold the groove and sound better than my Gemini 1200's. My mixer was a Numark cheapie, 2 channels, channel EQ, nothing fancy. As far as musical tastes, I'm older (34) so I've listened to all types of music in the last 20 years or so... you name it, I've listened to it... well, except for country really... The original Sound Factory is from before I started clubbing in 1997. I went to Junior's Arena party @ Palladium & Danny's Twilo party back then. 2 way street here... answer your own questions

No no, it's been sort of quiet... there will be stickers on the flyers.

I got my decks and started learning in April 2000
