Guest Marina22 Posted January 17 Report Share Posted January 17 Yeah bitches, I nominate Bassdropper aka DJ Hyperrr aka Peter for da techno/hardcore camp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Marina22 Posted January 17 Report Share Posted January 17 I would say this would be a good idea, but what about people who can & will play everything. Just sayin. That's what I'm talking about.. I think it should even be called a showcase to not empahsize the competition aspect just for fun.. Vinyl is fingerlickin' good, yo. Maybe some scratchers ala Seb..?

Guest Mimi82 Posted January 17 Report Share Posted January 17 You clowns are talking about a dj battle with CDJs??? Were you born in the 90s or something? Fuck!Obviously some people can't read... I didn't say for the DJ's to battle with CDJ's, I was offering a "PRIZE" for the winner... so I guess my generosity is not welcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest djway830 Posted January 17 Report Share Posted January 17 You clowns are talking about a dj battle with CDJs??? Were you born in the 90s or something? Fuck!I did mention the CDJ's. Let's be honest---they aren't exactly "rocket science". Prolly one of the easiest pieces of electronic equipment ever invented 4 dj's! This competition would be way more revealing exclusively on Vinyl, agreed. However, I wouldn't want to leave anyone out....especially since it seems like there are very few people still using vinyl. So, I propose this question...What DJ's out there are still using vinyl??? I will call myself and Will R. (Brad also) out, but who else??? seriously (im not talking about using a laptop) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MichaelMnML Posted January 17 Report Share Posted January 17 dude i dont think we wanna get into this Cd vs. vinyl vs. CPU....that demands a whole different thread...people might get shot over this debate...i would spin vinyl if i was raised in europe...the reason why most used cds or cpu's is because we cant get the records that one could while living in Berlin or London...anja used records but aside from purists like her with access to upfront, new tracks on vinyl...cds/mp3s are a necessity...plus for many of the newer sounds coming out these days, they are done by new artists, on indie netlabels...i cant get 90% of my tracks on vinyl....but a spinoff, whether using cds or records...must be done without the auto-beat match capability of programs on a laptop IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest HUGH Posted January 17 Report Share Posted January 17 I thought you said Ableton was the SHIT Mickey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MichaelMnML Posted January 17 Report Share Posted January 17 it is the shit...without a doubt...best program i have ever seenbut if u played just tracks with it I think thats cheating...playing live, with original work is brilliant...u saw jonas last weekend...ritch in december...but i get pissed when i see a guy playing an entire set presequenced through Live fully consisting of other peoples tracks...no beat matching...but who cares...if it sounds good it is good...

Guest myles hie Posted January 17 Report Share Posted January 17 Anyway....back to the task at hand.Who's stepping up to organise this?Imo, i don't think "genres" need to be an issue. X amount of time available. DJ's show up put name in hat. Slots are given as names are pulled out of hat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest HUGH Posted January 17 Report Share Posted January 17 Bro.Leave that DJ Battle nonsense for DJ Jazzy Jeff and them.You are supposed to take this music to the next level and I wanna see you playing live and using as much technology as possible.Do it like the champions and let all these Jazzy Jeff wannabes in the rear view mirror with their 1990 useless tracks.

Guest MichaelMnML Posted January 17 Report Share Posted January 17 man u know im just talking shit...and i definitely would never battle anyone, this is between the men in this town...i just wanna watch and hype this thing...cooljunkie needs some hits..its been dead...

Guest LaundryBar Posted January 17 Report Share Posted January 17 how about some DnB & Dubstep in the mix...Electro & Miami Bass should get some love as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skyline350 Posted January 17 Report Share Posted January 17 I love you man, but seriously... It was the case that you couldn't get some records that came out in Europe and didn't make there way to the States through distribution channels or a wise record buyer.... but that was maybe 15+ years ago. Any record buyer worth a damn can get anything you want these days.i would spin vinyl if i was raised in europe...the reason why most used cds or cpu's is because we cant get the records that one could while living in Berlin or London...

Any record buyer worth a damn can get anything you want these days.but in what time frame? it seemed rather unfeasible to me when i started spinningg that i could get records, when i could buy a track as soon as it was released online...as well as being so much cheaper... to a young kid in a non EDM city where i was thats all that mattered....now with syntax down who knows Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skyline350 Posted January 17 Report Share Posted January 17 Within 2 weeks. And when a lot of us started DJing there was no such thing as an MP3 or Digital Download site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed - genres need NOT be an issue. The best deejays will "shine" no matter what they play!!!Jon, are you seriously up for the task???

Guest djway830 Posted January 18 Report Share Posted January 18 Within 2 weeks. And when a lot of us started DJing there was no such thing as an MP3 or Digital Download site.I began deejaying in 2000 and there were no CDJ's that I knew of.......I "spun" my first CD out @ Laundry Bar Sept. 07'. WTF was I thinking!??? Vinyl sounds better, looks more interesting, and feels like you're actually doing something! The only real reason to move to CDJ format is laziness, right??? Nobody wants to drag around 60 LBS in vinyl. I sure as hell don't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rhythmburn Posted January 18 Report Share Posted January 18 the reason i buy 99% of my digital tracks is beacuse i CANNOT get them on vinyl (they are not pressed to vinyl).it is that simple. vinyl is very expensive to produce and distribute, and many of the newer labels who put out FANTASTIC music, simply cannot afford this upfront capital expenditure.it has nothing at all to do with laziness Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I've heard more times than not (from many dj's) they don't bring vinyl out b/c it's too damn heavy and annoying. In addition, often turntables at venues have become unreliable due to lack of maintenance. I do tend to bring vinyl with me when I go out, but often don't play it much anymore. It's a shame.

Guest Juniper Posted January 18 Report Share Posted January 18 wish I could afford ~18$ per tune on vinyl - would much prefer this format but its just not feasable on the amount of musics I digest - and as said before I cannot find most on vinyl & its just not feasable this ageps I wanna play in the fight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Midnight Perverts Posted January 18 Report Share Posted January 18 i dont buy music, I steal from ftps, use cdjs & dont know how to spin. Ill be glad to win a pair of cdjs!!!So what are the standarts to qualify the dj performance?how long the mix is?key mixing?Lame music?Good music?working the millions of people?how many times does the dj touch the player???
