Big up fuckers!
Had a immense set on Saturday night @ Skuba - am starting to get a rhythm and a groove and a distinctive way of constructing and doing such long sets - which is good and also makes the regulars realise what time of the night we're at!
And the compliments and love keep on growing! Love it!
Nighty, Night

New Promo Mix Pending!!!
Just a quick msg that I'm gonna do my promo mix for this month tomorrow afternoon - once I get back from work - have got an idea of what I'm going to do this month - just bought a load of new stuff - quite a bit for a Monday to be honest - which shows that there is a lot of quality coming out right now!!!!
There'll be a bit of everything that's influencing me right now, from Deep to Tech to Electro to Funky - that is how we fucking roll bitches!!!!
Also have done my second and third edit this evening which shows just how quick and easy they are to do, once you get your head around the parameters! And they are getting slightly better and better as I keep on doing them. The third edit tonight - has two somewhat different effects in it - you never know, you might hear it in March's Promo Mix!!!!
Nighty Night!!!

Editing, Remixing and Bootlegging
Have decided that now my mixing and track radar is pretty much bang on - am starting to introduce myself to adding my own stamp on my mixes. Purely this means a bit more work at home on the laptop but long term, its going to add another edge and dimension to my sets.
Have already done a edit of Duck Sauce's Barbra Streisand with some dirty effects in a edit which is just under 3 minutes - I'll post up a link to it later this evening.
I have already done some edits for my mixes - online and at my Saturday residency at Skuba - nothing unusual in that - but with the possibility of some private gigs alongside my residency at Skuba - it is time to start adding some sprinkle to my sets!
All good!!!

Something New.
Apologies for the lack of posts in recent weeks, but I have been rather busy - more about that in a moment!
The sessions at Skuba on Saturdays are going rather well, I didn't play there last weekend as I was up at Cream seeing Oakenfold, Corsten and Harris amongst a stellar line-up - one of the most intense nights of the past 12 months for deffo! My housemate was due to come up with me, however he decided to bail out at the last minute, unlucky!
Going back to being behind the decks and as you would have no doubt seen I have purchased a new laptop, which is over time going to usurp the current baby - I've had the eMachines one for the last two and a half years - and with my bonus from work being rather good, felt it was only appropriate to get a new Acer Aspire lappy with a faster processor (three times as fast with a turbo boost - as its one of those new i3 processors!)
What it means is that for the first time ever - I'm in a position where I can streamline my old laptop to make it a purely gig machine only - which has its distinct advantages! For one thing, VDJ would be the only program on it - as well as the drivers to make the VMS4 work with it - which should help in regards of CPU usage which is notoriously high on such programs!
Which is rather problematic, because I have been using VDJ with my new laptop and the difference in the quickness and effortlessness of it is rather something to behold!
I've also purchased the new MashUp program by the people that gave the world MixedInKey - which does exactly what it says on the tin, and have already done my first mashup of sorts - link will be up soon regarding that one!

Controllerist Hell!
Last Couple of days....been pissing around considering what to piss my bonus from work on - have been considering CDJs - but that idea seems to have gone to pot - so am looking for a pro-grade controller - options I think have been put down to three - the Denon MC6000, Numark Mixdeck Quad and possibly the narrow favourite - the Vestax VCI400.
Decisions, Decisions.
Decisions, Decisions.

Back On The iPhone
Well, fucking well!
Got this offer from a housemate for an iPhone 3G late this afternoon for 60 notes - knowing how much I adored my last iPhone before a slight accident in a Reading street some 12 months ago - it was a bit of a no brained!
Also means I'll be able to check my mixcloud account as well as the general fluidity that you get with an iPhone!
Win!

Drained...
Just finished my shopping online - having bought a couple of new tops and more importantly a new pair of V500s - I know, but I've used them for the past seven years - and the pair that I play with has been by my side for some five of those years - they need replacing - nevertheless I will still use the old pair - purely to practice on!
Have done six sessions at Skuba now, and have now done three radio shows on radio.virtualdj.com - on a Sunday evening - and its been quite surreal that strangers are finding and knowing about me via my sets and mixes and my djing in general - I do sometimes wonder whether some people are genuine in their support or not - but hey that's always going to be going thru anyone's mind!!!
All I do know is this, I'm not bad!!!
