    Juke

    Hehe... i tried to get across that I wasn't comparing them in that way, but you're right. My point is that the opportunities are there to be taken - these things have a life of their own and don't conform to anyone's terms and conditions. Planet Mu were excited and inspired enough by Nate's...

    Funky/London/UK House

    Funk Butcher was talking about this on Twitter recently. Seems a lot of Funky producers actually charge the DJs for dubs, which means they're not really all that concerned about releasing the tracks to the public at large in order to make money. Not sure how much they charge - £20 or £30 maybe...

    Juke

    Yeah. There's a danger of following the route of BMore when that was getting more international hype. Lots of people got very hung up on the true history / who was authentic enough and it just becomes a big turn-off for the casual listeners. You can't stop people hyping DJ Nate over other...

    Allergies

    £2.50ish for 30 tablets at Tesco. Even the Boots own brand ones are more than twice as expensive. My Hayfever seems to get progressively worse each year though.

    Adapter adaptor

    Check the voltage rating on the back - some electrical items can automatically switch between voltages, some will have a physical switch (either external or internal) that you'll need to set for 240v operation, some can't be switched at all. Some need an internal fuse change etc etc... you get...

    Glastonbury 2010...

    I'm going to be DJing between acts on the West Holts stage all day Saturday, as well as one or two other places. Excited (and scared).

    Laptop stands recommendations

    I use this direct-from-Chinese-factory style one from Thomann: http://www.thomann.de/gb/millenium_laptopstand.htm?sid=bccd4b82a2e49cbc0b1aa95a70b7c066 It's a bit fiddly to assemble if you're in a cramped and dark booth, but it's also about 4 times cheaper than the dedicated branded "DJ" stands...

    Rolling (though slowly, I'd imagine) Gaming Thread

    I enjoyed Skate 1, but skipped Skate 2. Think I'll go for 3, although I tried the demo in hardcore mode and kept falling over. Nice to have a challenge I guess. I really didn't enjoy Skate 1 online - just full of people pulling off impossibly long combos. Wonder if 3 will be any better.

    Yacht-disco thread

    Phased percussion, like the sea washing up over pebbles. Distant mysterious voices, like the Sirens luring unsuspecting yachtsmen onto the rocks. A thousand fingered man would be pretty useful on a yacht I think. Good for tying knots and the like. <object width="480" height="385"><param...

    questions you are dying to ask but are too scared to b/c of music nerd cred?

    "Throw Some Ds" is something to do with modifying cars: "Just bought a Cadillac (Throw some Ds on that bitch!)" ... but "throw that D" doesn't make much sense in that context. Where have you heard it?

    Do you have Soundcloud OCD?

    You can change your notification preferences to either only receive notification about tracks from people you follow, or only receive private tracks "shared to a handful". There's also a display setting checkbox in the Tracks > From Others tab - "Only show tracks shared to me, to a handful of...

    Dubstep

    Sounds like he's just spending too much time and energy thinking about the other stuff that being involved in the music industry brings into your life, and feels it's affecting his music too much. Could be many things triggering it, either significant or petty. Doesn't really matter. Fair...

    Funky/London/UK House

    DJs need to take a few steps back and make people work for this again. make it so they cant get in touch or keep up to date with this music unless they go to a club or god forbid actually dance. more fun that way. plus you appreciate it more. be less romantic. ;)
