U31

Oldskool stuff, especially pre ’94 is next to impossible to buy digitaly, i buy the 12″ – 99 times out of a hundred second hand from Oggs, Amazon or Ebay and rip it myself…
Up untill last week i was on very shaky ground legally, i gather…:p

Thank You for Explaining that you have a System; and what that System is; for when and if your Laptop Crashes;
But for DJ’s who ‘Use this System’ as ‘Their Act’; isn’t this a little ‘Untrustworthy’ as a ‘Performance’; now you have Explained to me How the System Works’ such as Track 1 on CD1; followed by Track 2 on CD2 ?
As a Back-Up; I ‘Heartily Accept’ this as a Course Of Action to ‘Appease the Crowd and the Promoter/Club Owner’; but as the ‘Norm’ if it were to be this way (and I am talking about DJ’s I watch Live including Pete Tong and Carl Cox); does this is not seem a little like having 2 ‘K-Tel’ Complilation Albums on 2 Technics and just Fading One Track Out; and Bringing the Next Track In ?
This Sounds ‘Awful’ if this is ‘Normal Practice’ 🙁

Emma, not quite a pair of compilation CD’s i’d say… i’d imagine (or like to think at least) quite a lot of thought and skill has gone in to choosing what tunes have been selected for the cd’s, the same as any DJ choosing choons for a set.
newer CD DJ’s can read Mp3 off the CD too, allowing quite a fair amount of tunes to be stored on the discs..
If it was me personally, there would be extra tunes on there, above and beyond a pre worked out set, for emergencies, and of course you can just cut up and mess around with the order of play?

Failed Musician? I never even tried in the first place… I know there aint a chance in hell i could ever play an instrument of any description

Haroon had been trying to ID this track for a while and found it on one of my mixes..

I defy anyone not to be moved by this ..

Beautiful piece of music

It all depends on your tastes really, but after listening mixes i have of yours i think these will be more your flavour?
I quite like this one…

More chilled with recent music ..

And this one was inspired by a night when a combination of Wayne Hemmingway and a handful of the Smooth FM DJ’s blew me away on a Soul night..

About time too..

There are two tracks i absolutely love by the same artist, i can listen to over and over again, as tunes in their own right.
But for some bizarre reason i find them really hard to mix in and out of… Doesnt stop me using ’em in sets tho 😉

And a recent-ish mix where i dropped Quad, and finished off with one of my all time favourite tunes, another I could put on loop and listen too forever.
This version is the Nude Mix, not my favourite mix, but this was given to me by a very very good mate, and i love it none the less…
Actually thinking back, I think this mix was a bit of self indulgence!
