I really like the Xen Cuts release and I want to hear more of the Ninja Tune label. What artist/release do you recommend me? I already have: Amon Tobin (all), Irresistible Force, Coldcut, The Shadow Years, Funkjazztical Tricknology and some Mr Scruff |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Another compilation: Funkjazztical Tricknology Good release: Funki Porcini - Fast Asleep (killer cover art and good dvd too!) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i really cant see what others see in Ninja Tune - besides good logo and merchandise stuff its crappy to mee, but if you like it - good for you |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Did you ever tried, Amon Tobin - Supermodified or The Irresistible Force - It´s Tomorrow Already? just sit down relax and enjoy |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Highly produced instrumental hip hop? Yes please :D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i recomend journeyman - national hijinx one of my fave on ntone |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
cinematic orchestra - everyday, if you like jazzy stuff. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i recommend: Mr. Scruff - Keep It Unreal http://www.discogs.com/release/22528 |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Cinematic Orchestra rules! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
what did you think of 'trouser jazz' Alberto? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Wagon Christ - Musipal total respect to Luke Vibert's music |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
about Cinematic Orchestra, is Motion any good? I adore Everyday, so would that mean I'd like Motion? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
how about Jaga Jazzist? or DJ Vadim Particularly his first album Repertoire)? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, Jaga Jazzist's The Stix was a very good release. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yes, Keep Movin' is probably my favourite Mr. Scruff track. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
what would you recommed I buy by Amon Tobin, as an introduction to the feller? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
BONOBO!!!!!!!! and Cinematic Orchestra!!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
why has no one mentioned Funki Porcini? Ultimately Empty Million Pounds - that's where it at, like two turntables and a microphone. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Ceri did mention Funky Porcini... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well, you know, i don't know. i've given motion a listen only once and it didn't grab me the way everyday did. i should probably give it another try though. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Homelife, cinematic orchestra, mr scruff. All very decent. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Cinematic orchestra -Motion and everyday. The refried food series parts 3 and 4 of that are amazing. Funkmaster: Motion is a bit more abstract than everyday but it is still very good! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

amon tobin - supermodified - permutations clifford gilberto - I was young and I needed the money hint - portakabin fever wagon christ - musipal and on big dada clouddead - clouddead clouddead - dead dogs two 12" roots manuva - run come save me - brand new second hand ttc - leguman 12" (just for his voice!) also check majesticons, king geedorah and diplo |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
definitely ttc. new flesh are good too. and run come save me is a classic. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
BTW, if you like Ninja Tunes, you'll probably like Mush. New Big Dada signing clouddead were originally on Mush and the label has a general ninja tunes sort of feel to it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
nah still are I think, at least they distribute cos their label is anticon and if you like that, check dose one, dose one & boom bip, alias, sixtoo, odd nosdam and sage francis |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
sorry should have said in the US big dada is just UK |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Where is my CD Benjy? :D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i've just been getting into some anticon. 'the no music of aff's' is amazing, better than 'the no music', imho. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i've got tonsilitus so i'm not really donig anything at moment also i've got loads to do so I need to set some time aside |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i've got a couple of them tracks before they became themselves but never been able to find their album round here i'm a huge dose one fan even if he's bonkers...i've got circle on vinyl and its awesome, and the track he does with bomo bip on seed to sun is the standout track on a good album (though I think overrated) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
No rush really mate, I was just ribbing you. Hope you get well soon. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, i like doseone a lot, too. are most of the artists on anticon that abstract/experimental hip hop? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, I mean a lot of people argue it isn't even hip hop and its more rock, but to be honest wit sampling the lines are so blurred these days its hard to say, and I reckon that's a good thing anticons made up of producers and mc's so you get different artists worknig with different people off the label and doing solo projects so the sound doesn't stay the say |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
cheers ceri |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ok, so it's all similar, at least in theory. yeah, i couldn't really even care less about 'what it is'. it's good, and that's what i care about. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

I can't beleive no one has mentioned DJ Food. The last DJ food album was the best I reckon, done by strictly kev and pc, it was called kaleidoscope and is so lush. Also Hexstatic produce some proper nice electro(nic) tunes, which are rather good, and a welcome break from ninja's high proportion of artists with a similar feel. Also Coldcut have released a few wicked tracks (and a few crap ones too-lisa stansfield anyone??) but let us play is a great album, and let us replay is even better. and lets not mention classics like beats and pieces! |

Yo Dave. I finally ordered the PMC 06 Pro D... did it yesterday and it should be here Friday. Man, I can't wait. I was going to wait till next month, but almost everywhere has now jumped on the £100 price hike bandwagon on it. I found the last online place in the UK doing it for £345 and ordered it from there before they increased the price. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Nice, thats about the amount my plain old PMC 06 A cost a few years back! I expect a full report on how good it is. I hope you will still be able to afford vinyl too. hehe. its an expensive hobby for sure, but well worth it, although I really need 2x1210s but the 700quid will take a huge chunk out of my wallet, so perhaps I will wait. anyway, I hope you have fun with it, dont forget if you want to adjust the cut in time, you can mod it like I have......... Basically, I now have to move the xfader about 1/2 a mil to cut in/out, by taking out the xfader unit and adding some small washers to the rail the fader runs along at each end, ok aesthetically its not great as the travel is reduced slightly and may look a bit off as it doesnt go straight to the edge,but hey! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

Nice- that's a good inovative mod. Hopefully I won't need to do it on this one, I've read that with the sharpest curve shape and sharpest cut in time it approaches the Technics SHEX1200 cut in time. For a full review check the board any time next week, I probably won't shut up about it for a month. ;) Don't suppose you know how to go about getting custom faceplates mades (I'd not be looking to do it for a while!). If I was still in high school, I could metalwork one myself, but as I don't have access to the tools I suppose I'd have to buy one. I've seen a couple you can buy, but it's pre done art. I'd ideally want bright white one or slate grey one, nothing fancy. |

isnt kid koala on Ninja? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

well, take out the 5 scres on the face. pozi drive #0 will help there, pull it upwards, and the plastic tops on the faders will pop off, now cover the transparent bit, and respray it yourself. thats my advice, but if it were me, id rather mod it to have send/return, but im just too much of a gear-junkie/electronics buff, plus im crap at art. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yep, though I don't reckon much to his album...some really like it though |
||||||||

I was initially a bit upset at having to give up my beloved fx send/return and also mic ports, but in reality it'll be chained into my 3 channel mixer so I can put the drum machine and FX on that. Of course, I won't be able to FX one deck but not the other (unless I fit it in serial between one deck and the PMC 06), but I'm prepared to lose that functionality. I must admit, the new Raine one, 56 something or other one, looks amazing and the fx loop is a bonus, but it's just too expensive. If I'm still into it in 3 years or so I may sell the 06 and get one of those instead (hopefully they'll be cheaper by then). My only concerns about respraying the included faceplate are decreasing the resale value and also the extra layers of paint (especially if I do it in white- that'd need 3 coats) may narrow the slots enough to cause the pots/faders to catch and run less smoothly. You can buy custom ones for the 06 (see ), but not the samurai version due to the extra 2 pots. My other question is, is there an easy way to get the pots off the hardware easily? On some mixers I know you just pull them off like the faders, but on vestax the pots seem stuck on. If I was going to spray it, I'd want to change the fader pot (and up/xfader) colour as well... |

The new one (Some of my best friends are DJs) is better than the first, a lot more listenable. I'll often listen to it all the way through, rather than just 1 or 2 tracks like with Carpel Tunnel. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Ceri did mention Porcini, didn't he? my mistake. :D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yes, yes he did ;) Fast Asleep is great late night music. If your mates are being rowdy at your place after a night out, just put it on and watch them all drift off to sleep... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

you can easily respray the upfaders and crossfader, since they pop off easily when you remove the faceplate. once the faceplate is removed, you can cover the internals with paper or something then spray the pots. The are glued on and I wouldn't recommend removing them at all. There is also probably enough clearance around the faders if you are painting it, but If you think it is an issue, then buy the standard 06 one , then drill the 2 extra holes for the cfx controls, all you will need is to clamp it, drill a pliot hole, then the proper one and finish it all off. |

Thanks for the advice dave. I've been toying around with different designs, I think I might go for a light slate grey. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
thanks a lot, I think im going to check out Cinematic Orchestra, Jagga Jazzist's and Funky Porcini as they were mentioned the most |
