Looks like something from a bargain bin in Asda post Christmas
Mix Club - The Remedial Class
For people with T/Rex hands?
a month later
I played a warm up set for Orkidea last Saturday for his Turku-stop on his 30 Years of DJ Orkidea-tour (dude started young, he’s 45). Playing only bars and lounges for a couple of years left me a bit lost at first with a proper big sound, it’s so much fucking louder. 
Checking the recording now for release tomorrow, and I’m surprised how good I did, no trainwrecks, a few dodgy mixes maybe. I also played for the first time with the CDJ 3000s and I don’t recommend just waltzing in when you’re playing with them for the first time. The settings were all over the place after the last DJ, and I had trouble setting them to my liking on the fly.
Warming up for a trance DJ was fucking fun though as a prog DJ, I could not go too hard. He requested I end with 126 bpm ffs. I used to warm up for him a lot back in the day, and he had requested me again. Got to play 2,5 hours too.
Requested I end with 126 bpm .
Proper Blue M&M Moment.
Homegrove Sounds like a good gig, looking forward to hearing it. I still remember my first time on a loud system, that initial panic of “I wasn’t prepared for this” fades, but it definitely smacks you in the face. That’s why I always like to have my first 3 records planned, just to give me time to settle in.
I think I still have a white label of unity kicking around, that vocal is probably worth sampling.
303abuser the priviledge of a warm up set (I pressed play when they opened the doors) I had my first 4 planned. The 4th one was the first real club-track, I started with Satellite Serenade off NE1. Orkidea had also requested all DJs (it was a three room event, I was amazed they let me in the main room) also play mainly their personal classics (like his set was). I cheated and also played a lot of 2022-stuff too. It was fun to dig for stuff I’d not put on any classics-mixes lately though. And also still remember that it was seemingly a warm up set. No worries in the end though, since Orkidea started with some big Prydz-stuff.

Amps Ian Ossia told me a story about a gig he played down in Dorset - c. 2001. He asked the local warm-up guy to try and leave him around 128. The guy banged out a set of 134ish trance for 2 hours. Getting ready to hand over, he stopped the record he was playing, and put on a tribal-ish plodder at 128, turned around, and gave Ian a two thumbs up. 
You’d have to laugh.Got some pics from a mate a few minutes ago.
Pink, the most fetching of all the lighting choices for a DJ.
Along_the_Wire So, I’m learning to mix with loops - all a bit chaotic as things go all over the shop whilst I’m getting used to it - if your using loops to mix, how long do you typically set them for? It feels to me like I lose energy despite what I think are the right phrases.
