A to Z E.D.M.

[GreiginFife]

Magik Journey I agree, but Tiestos Adagio for strings just doesn't match up to William Orbits version for me.

The Phynn remix is so much better than the "standard" Tiesto mix

Just to drift away from the alphabet a mo' - earlier this week a couple of study plastic boxes arrived to assist with the sorting out.
I also located my amp, mixer, & speakers which had been eluding me previously. Unfortunately not yet located the box/bag with the power link up (seems I'd put space saver plug/sockets on everything), plus the speaker cables.
Off work today, so fused plugs & speaker cables purchased from a well organised screwfix, and some progress...

 

[BubbaP]

I was hoping to make it before Z!

(Just had to shrink the picture)

? happy days.
Realised I'm still a phono cable or so short though for next stage

 

[VVega]

U96 - Das Boot
UX - Alien Earth Activity
Underworld - Born Slippy (Nuxx)... and the end of Trainspotting: Choose your future. Choose life... But why would I want to do a thing like that?...

 

[VVega]

Lost of posting to catch up on
Uncovered a few more that I first thought

(The) Unknown DJ – 808 Beats (an oldie)
Unique 3 – The Theme (& Theme III) -&- Activity
Underworld – Cowgirl -&- Rez
Utah Saints – Ohio (Itchy & Scratchy Club Mix) & (DJ Misjah Mix) both for the 2nd halves!

Little different:
Urban Cookie Collective – Bring It On Home (Almost Vicious Dub)

Cowgirl is another one from the Hackers

UCC is a good shout too! Should mention The Key, The Secret though - Hungarian Deli Mix - if you like something different

Nice.

Today, I have mostly been perving at this...

 

[huds1475]

Underworld - Dark & Long (Dark Train)

Uberzone - Botz (Organik)
8 minutes of acid/breaks with a 6 minute build ?

 

[BubbaP]

Have only really turned up these, and the sun's out

V.I. & The Porch Monkeys - Hello Lover (old style acid)
Vivian Lee - Music Is So Wonderful (Fire Island Club Mix) (clubby vocally Heller & Farley)

Have a good day all.

 

[VVega]

Vitalic - La Rock 01
VCMG - Zaat - a very special collaboration and whole album is probably the best ever produced in electronic music, as they said in the interview - best to be heard in their studio to appreciate it

 

[GreiginFife]

Bit later to the party today, been building a shed.

My picks for V

Trance

Veracocha - Carte Blance (Original Mix) [No. 5 on my all time list - one of the tracks that really started my moving a lot away from hardcore and in to trance]
Vimana - Dreamtime
Vac Scene - My Emotion (Kid Vicious Remix)
Velvet Girl - Velvet (Chiller Twist Cosmosis Remix) [Although the Trance Volcal Mix is also very good]
Viframa - Cristalle
Viton & Stel - Wooden Swordz (Nikola Gala Remix)
Vanessa Mae - Whitebird (Airscape Remix)

And of course Voodoo & Serano - Blood is Pumping for a more commercial flavour.

Something a bit different

Varien & Mr Fijiwiji - We are The Lights (Mr Fijiwiji Mix)
Voicians - Wolves
Voicians & Muzzy - Back to You

 

[BubbaP]

As is often the case, a few different things on my little list today

West Street Mob - Break Dance Electric Boogie (old Electro)
Wild Colour - Dreams (BT's Mix)
Wilkinson – Afterglow (Cyantific Remix)

 

[BubbaP]

And as we touched a little on tech on Friday, it did start me thinking, if I had everything on MP3 sometime down the line, is it worth looking at a not too pricey widget for messing about with them.

Not something as big (& expensive) as this though! Which I stumbled across

Fatboy Carpool

Have a look at DJ controllers.

I bought a Traktor S2 for about £250 quite a few years back. Great piece of kit, very sturdy for it’s size, easy to use, familiar and logical layout, and comes bundled with software (as do most to be fair).

You can go even smaller if that’s too big, Traktor X1 is an example of such mixers.

Much less of a faff to use and easy on the space

 

[GreiginFife]

I've got the Traktor S4 and the Machine Mikro Mk 2 and its brilliant kit
Lugging the 1210s about can be a pain but tue S4 weighs less than my mixer.

 

[GreiginFife]

Well, we are almost at the end of the first A-Z

For me today

Upbeat/Hardcore

Wedlock - Acid Rain
Water Pistol - Splish
Warlock - Reality is a Nightmare (South of Heaven Mix)
Wedlock - Ganjaman
Westbam - The Mayday Anthem (Paul Elstak Rotterdam Gabber Mix)

Trance

Woodshokk - Tulips and Chocolate (G&M Project Remix)
White Russians - Unipolar (Avalanche Remix)
Westbam - Wizards of The Sonic
Whirlpool Vs Octagen - Alaska (Original Mix)
Watergate - Heart of Asia (Quicksilver Mix)

Two shouts for Traktor then.
Have you hung onto the 1210s, or did you move them on?

I tried the Denon controllers with Serato and Rekordbox but just found Traktor easier and more intuitive.

Still got the 1210s, had them since 94, never get rid. Could do with new styli but will keep them.

Have to add another one:

(Josh) Wink - Higher State of Consciousness
