    Quality! I liked that little run of tunes with Cherryade/Orangeade/Lemonade etc Not doing t-shirts or stickers at the moment. I would like to but all my spare money is going into the records at the moment, I've been broke all year because of it and haven't got any spare. I might do in the...

    Yeah I spend about £700 all in for 300 records, 10 TPs, full colour labels, a CD with mastered WAVs + a courier. Most of the money goes on the metalwork and mastering. If I wanted to repress another 100 it would only cost £75 on black vinyl and I think £100 on coloured (can't remember the unit...

    Thanks! Got 2 more at the pressing plant at the moment (Splurt Diablo - J3 EP and Spooky - Coolie Joyride remixes). Should be out in a few weeks. Got 2 more signed as well to finish the year off. JT the Goon is up after the remixes and that is an incredible EP, I think it will be hard to ever...

    Yeah he spends a week mixing his own tunes. When I take Grime round though he can do each tune in about 2 hours just using a few oxford plug ins. The Grime stuff I sign is much simpler and has fewer elements. Having said all that though I think the tune I put out which has the most bass is...

    Thank you. I'm going to try these out

    Yeah when I go round my mates he uses KRK monitors with a Genelec sub. Once he's got it sounding good on that he switches to Genelec monitors which are really flat. When you switch between the two it doesn't sound as good on the Genelecs (I think the KRKs alter the sound slightly) so he then...

    Doing mixdowns is an art form in itself tbh. With the stuff I put out it varies, some of them I take the WAV straight from the producer to be mastered, some of it I just go back to them and ask for a few changes in volume or more sub but some of them I have to get the stems and get the whole...

    They have amazing compressors that make stuff sound great. Same with Rinse. Some of the tunes I put out sound pretty weak so I have to get the stems and take them to my mates to mix down in pro tools. When they're mastered by the pressing plant they then sound great, then the process of...

    I got a scratched CD of old vocals and that had some glitches on it but I managed to get rid of a few by copying to the desktop instead of itunes so I'm going to try that first. Then I've got to get in touch with Waifer (pretty impossible), then I have to see if they sound good enough when...

    Yeah, he couldn't find the WAVs for loads of them for the Wiley CD Think there are 4 of my records on the Ruff Sqwad CD, again the WAVs just couldn't be found. The vinyl got ripped at a professional place so they sound pretty good though

    The Big$hot ones are on Juno Download and sound pretty bad tbh. You can really notice the difference in quality when you mix them with other tunes

    If I was going to put old tunes out I would want WAVs and then get them mastered. A lot of the people mentioned put unmastered stuff up on bandcamp and it didn't sound great tbh. I would be surprised if they made £200. The bigger releases like the Ruff Sqwad one would have made more. The EP of...

    Yeah its on one of the DVDs and they're sat in the school computer room being interviewed and playing some tunes. I think they are a bit older then or its a sixth form college? Can't think which DVD it is now though. This was years ago though so I bet the school has new computers and the old...

    Oh don't get me wrong I'd love them at all on a CD but some of the Ruff Sqwad stuff was written on the school computer so that will all have gone. Everyone was cutting dubs then as well so once you'd cut it there was no real need for the CD any more. I'm sure a few of the old DJs will have still...

    Most of those old tunes are long gone. Computers and hardrives have broken and files are lost. I know Cheeky was finding it hard to get all the tunes he wanted for the Wiley CD, they just don't exist any more. Same thing with Ruff Sqwad, I doubt they thought about people wanting them 10 years...

    Oh and.... I'm getting some wheels built soon. Nearly got all the parts and am going for 28/24. I was going radial at the front because I prefer the look. Any opinions on that? Should I just got for 2x instead?

    Thanks! I was really pleased. I wimped out of the journey back to the port as my legs were done by then. My two friends who I went with were just on another level. They did the 145 miles back (they added another 45 as they were going too fast) + they cycled down to Poole from Bristol before we...

    Back from France. The 100 miler was pretty tough but I was well happy to have made it. Watched one of the stages by the roadside and then went to Fougères for the start of another. Buying new shoes the week before I went was a dumb move and I don't think they fit me very well tbh so it looks...

    I rate Sagan. No hand wheelies at the top of la Planche des belles filles >>>> Not really a Froome fan but unless Contador has improved loads since the Criterium du Dauphine then I can't see anyone but Froome winning. I'd be happy if its any of Rodriguez, Quintana or Van Garderen though...
