Had another chat with the supplier of my new decks this evening - according to him - he's sold the Nexus 900 mixer which he'd agreed to sell to me previously - before asking for another payment from myself.
Obviously, rather pissed off right now, said fuck right off - not in those words! But he's now said that the original deal is back on.
But frankly I will believe that only once I see the scanned receipt that shows that the bastards have been sent!
Another chat is due about 9.30pm tomorrow. If there is no substantial progress - there's gonna be a rather upset yours truly!

Shit Happens...
As I mentioned in my previous post - some changes have happened in recent weeks - most importantly - losing my Saturday gig - on a temporary basis due to the fact that they wanted shitty music for the period around the Fucking Jubilee and they wanted to get a more family friendly crowd. Hilarious! And that was the view of everyone without exception I've spoken to since then!
I was told this on the Bank Holiday Monday after doing a 4 1/2 hour set the previous night - the crowd seemed really on for it - meh!
What it has done however is focused the mind on where I want to take this - whether or not to keep this as a hobby/passion or do I take it further. Going by my actions with my wallet it seems that I'm going with the latter - having agreed a deal to pay some £900 up front and then £75 installments for 12 months for a second hand pair of CDJ-2000 and a DJM-900 mixer having originally agreed to purchasing a second hand pair of MK3 1000's for £700.
Am eagerly awaiting them with baited breath. Been waiting over two weeks already for them!! But I have been reliably informed that the dealer is legit - he runs a speaker making company in North Yorkshire and so is in a position to be able to get stuff for reduced prices - so I think I've found a bit of a winner there!
Supposed to be going back to gig at Skuba in early July, we'll see what happens then!!
Try to post tomorrow - hopefully we'll have some news on the decks then!!!

Neglected!!!
Afternoon fuckers,
Apologies for the lack of posts in recent weeks, have had a lot of things happen, some not good at all - so haven't been in a position to post any substantial posts.
Will send a further post later this evening.

Crazy Times!
Apologies for the lack of updates in recent weeks, but what with my 30th birthday and countless drinking sessions, not to mention planning for my Saturday residency at Skuba - as well as many other things - including the purchasing of Traktor!
There are many reasons why I've decided to add this tool to what I already use - mainly from a professionals point of view, it is the market leader and so there is a part of me which feels that I do need to be competent in it! From the outset - there is one that does set it apart from VDJ - and that is of course the GUI which is nothing short of breathtaking - though with VDJ 8 on the horizon - I predict that isn't going to be the case for much longer!
I've also bought just a few days ago my flightcase for my beloved VMS4 - one slight advantage of this is that - if I was to upgrade to say, the S4 in a few months - which is a possibility - I don't need to get a replacement flightcase as they both fit! Also, the flightcase that I ordered wasn't in stock, so they have offered me a custom-made VMS4 case for no additional charge full of the bells and whistles!!!
Win!
