• Thank you all very much for sharing your time with us in 2025. We hope you all have a safe and happy 2026!

A to Z E.D.M.

Numbers has been fun, and maybe not done yet.
But, beer is open and feels like a Friday, so some rambles.
If you guys see something, maybe on here and you go to have a listen, where you going to?
For me it's mainly been YouTube but am aware there are other means - enlighten me!

I’m using You Tube ??

It is easy. Obviously there is plenty of "official" stuff on there, but I like it when there's just a picture or similar and someone has just just uploaded as they liked it.
Note to self is to sort out a PC, digitise, and and upload some that I couldn't find.

Have also read quite a lot of the comments. Seems a load of people also re-discovering tunes during lockdown.

Apple Music for streaming, Beatport and JunoDownload for buying tracks that are not on streaming, Discogs for those not found in any digital sources :)

Now, just need to digitise dj set mixtapes in my collection so I can listen to them again ;)

I use Juno as UK based.

Beatport have a sneakier sales model so I avoid like the plague.

Traxsource are arguably more suited to my housier leanings, but I'm not sending my money to the US when I can buy same price in UK.
 
If you could only play a set list of 10, what would you pick?
I’m away to have a beer and stick the headphones on, try and come up with mine ?
 
For Trance, I think if I was just sitting listening then probably.

1. Airwave - Alone in The Dark
2. Re:Locate - Waterfall
3. CERN - The Message (Northern Mix)
4. George Hales - Autumn Falls (Original Mix)
5. Black Pearl - Java (Kim Svard Remix)
6. Savon - One Million Strings (Andy Jay Powel Remix)
7. Marksun & Brian - Gran Rey (Ronski Speed Remix)
8. Kaste - Desert Eagle
9. Night Sky - Endorphine (Original Mix)
10. Escade - Shuffle Royale (Alphazone Remix)

I might be cheeky and sneak an 11 in. RAM - RAMsterdam (Jorn Van Deynhoven Remix), it just narrowly missed out but the breakdown and the piano, as simplistic as it is, is just so soulful and powerful.

It could change a little but these would be my go to.

You will notice a theme of big anthemic breakdowns in most, I am a massive fan of tracks that are layered intricately and well, using multiple synths and pads to create melodies that sit on top of melodies (one reason I love Re;Locate - Waterfall, if you really listen you hear 3 or 4 elements of the tune in the first 5 or 6 minutes, all individually, then he starts to layer them and you get all of the elements by around 7 minutes).

For mixing, I'd have to think about that one.

Thanks for the steers on streaming etc., and I'll have a nosey at those anthems also.
Not sure how, but the list grew : Letter A revisited. Can ignore the first couple as memory lane oldies :)

Then we have those masked (topcial!) crazies, Altern-8 starting with the full on masked hysteria album

I’ll set this up as a playlist for gym ?
 
Feel that often when posting on this thread I am coming across dis-organised :) (oh well if the cap fits! - am sure there must be mitigating circumstances). Anyway question for @GreiginFife - what stylus was that with in the picture the nice silver SLs?
In the box I haven't yet located, I am sure I have some Ortofon ones from before giving the Stanton ones a try.
If I ever sort the kit out for digitising I may treat myself to some new ones, so happy to hear thoughts.

P.S. hope you managed to sort your supply issue (decking)

It was an Ortofon Concorde DJ S cart & stylus.
 
From my point of view this thread was great in distracting from the "lock down", and I was hoping when we'd passed through we might be at golf re-starting time. Seems like it is still up in the air though.
