i DJ'd last night

i forgot to bring my mates MD to record it but below is my
tracklist. I totally enjoyed myself - It was a dingy
attic-bar sit-down chin-stoking affair and a warmup to a
crazy noise act called The Both People made up of tapeloops,
live and sampled percusion and serious drones (a bit like
Sunn-O). As i went outside for a joint, the noise was
leaking onto the street and it was a hoot hearing peoples
reactions as they walked by. it sounded like the jolly green
giant was taking off his velcro underpants in slow motion
underwater. crazy.

my tracklist:
- Throbbing Gristle "Grief" [12"]
- Nobukazu Takamura "Perch" (10th LP)
- Aphex Twin "Alberto Balsalm" [I Care Because you Do LP]
- Kenny Everett - The greatest adventure yet from captain
Kremmen LP
- Autechre "V-Proc" [Draft 7.0 LP]
- Zed ["Dune" Soundtrack LP]
- Phoenecia "Oriaca" [Brownout LP]
- Squarepusher "Ultravisitor" [Ultravisitor LP]
- John Williams "I Can't Believe it's Real" [Close
Encounters of the Third Kind Soundtrack LP]
- Squarepusher - "My fucking Sound" [Go Plastic LP]
- Boards of Canada - [A Beautifull Place in the Country EP]

decent set. did you beatmatch, or just a bit of
LAZY_TITLE crossfading?

yeh - bit of the old x-fade mostly.The decks were crappy
enough.... i fucked around with the pitch as well. 3 people
came up and asked - "whats that tune?" - which is a great
sign.
next time - more noisey stuff

airheads!

yeah it's such a rush playing out isn't it, even if it's
just 30 people sat around not doing much. I played the
'chill out' room at my college events a couple of times -
just 2 CD players and a mixer but a good laugh nonetheless.
got a lot of 'what's that tune' for schneider tm's smiths
cover 'the light 3000', and the LFO remix of APC's
ghostlawns (awesomely heavy!).

ìts the best buzz ever!

my dream is to go around with a laptop with all me fave
tunes, from Warp artists, to old cartoon samples to XLT
tracks and mash them all up travelling the world, playing in
bars and on street corners

Yes, I've never done a purely MP3 set, but I've used Traktor
as part of a setup (2 CD, 2 Vinyl and Traktor). Worked quite
well, so long as you synch the vinyl/cd to Traktor and not
the other way round (hard to "nudge" traktor into time with
them, even if it's playing at the same BPM).

Do you mean DJing hardware or hardware for use with DJing
software?

If you mean the latter, a midi controller is great for
controlling EQs/filters etc. and even channel/x-faders.

Only S/W I have used for any real length of time is traktor.
It's worth getting.

ahh nice one, so i could asign controller knobs on my
controller keyboard to xfaders etc, excellent,

i downloaded mixvibes 4 but it is a demo and only lasts for
30 mins at a time, i'll try soulseek for full versions

cheers any way

did people dance to this set?

Yes, you should be able to get a copy easily enough,
currently on version 2.x

My only criticism would be that it's weak for anything that
require fast fader cuts (hip hop, Drum and Bass) and you'd
be hard pressed to find a smooth/light enough fadered midi
controller and get latency low enough (and scratching is
poor on it). That said, it's excellent at long mixes with
near-perfect beat synching and the filters come in handy, so
it's great for techno and most styles of dance music.

If you're speaking to me, yes, 150+ of them. If you're
speaking to Keys, I don't know :)

I love it.

dance to my set?
nah... it was a sit-down thing. Perhaps people
"braindanced"! I know i was banging my head to Squarepusher
n Autechre!

i'm constantly dicking arround with mp3 mixing in work but
thats just with iTune and other players, not mixers. (i.e.
hitting play/pause till the mix sounds good!!!)
