great thanks for that Emma. I only just logged on so I missed your show but I’ll try and remember for next week, I think you guys are about ten hrs behind us. Sorry to hear about your health. But glad you are utilising your skills because of it.wow 9 years old…thats pretty cool.yep i can buy online, i kind of want the human contact because i find it helpful to have them explain stuff, but unfortunately i chose the wrong human! thank you for letting me know however. I’m sorry to say Phil, I’m not aware of those names. I also like slow disco bongo tracks, “Thousand Finger Man” by Candido is rather great, as is “Help Help” by Boney M (believe it or not)….thanks both.

I’m not so sure if I have any inclination as yet…I suppose my first step is to actually practice mixing music with what I have, because I’m guessing that will be important no matter what format. Its good to hear you are getting back into it.What style of music do you play and do you just practice at home or do you do gigs and whatnot? I have played a couple of weddings and parties and things like that, and it was a very cool feeling to play in front of people getting off on the music. I would like to recreate that but have some actual cool mixing skillz to impress people, y know? I have a couple of overseas mentors who have been spinning disco since the 70s and they have told me disco is somewhat hard to mix because of the bpm changing a lot due to “live drumming” and I have noticed the clock tends to jump around…just when I think I got it…grrr. I don’t play any other style so I don’t know if that problem is limited to disco. so in summing up I think atm I need to just focus on practicing mixing with what I have, with an open minded view to digital stuff in the future.What I really would like is a tutor, so I’m keeping my eyes peeled.Thanks for the messages…:D
