Thanks!
Beware, I live!

I was born in 86 so the game was before my time, but it’s a classic that was [i]way[/i] ahead of it’s time IMO. It was the first arcade game ever to feature stereo sound and a 49 way directional joystick. As a programmer, it completely blows my mind what they managed to accomplish in 1982!

I spin lots of hardcore, hardstyle and, Drum and Bass sets. The only place with an actually up to date selection as far as I can tell is imorecords, but they’re pretty expensive as their prices are in Pounds. Though, I used to get some really good vinyl deals from them. It was still cheaper to ship it all over than to buy at stores here (which never had that style of music anyways).

I agree with D-Jam. I mean, you should probably not ask them when they’re in a transition, but if a DJ doesn’t want to spread the music they play to others then I have to question their motivations.

I’m always happy when someone asks me for a track ID, it means I played a real banger that someone liked so much they want to buy it!

I have the same setup and it’s pretty great IMO. If you get a copy of Traktor Scratch the dn-x1600 has a built in Traktor sound card and the SC2900s work in midi-hybrid mode as they call it with Traktor. It’s a bit of a pain to setup, but it works and you can be into the world of using software with just that.

The X1600 is also a full MIDI mixer so you can assign traktor controls and sliders to it if you don’t want to mix externally (not sure why you wouldn’t, but there you go).

Worst case is you really, really need performance pads beyond the hotcues, but you can just go buy a Kontrol F1 for $200 and you’re set.
