Woot!

Woot!

jackin stuff

what a mix, just bangin! this is the real deal too, all vinyl.

all vinyl

as opposed to the non real deal digital mixes?

@Bob

Thing is this, Bob: we're all making mixes digitally these days, as well as creating tunes. It's fun & it's bloody easy. Vinyl isn't as easy. & the true wheels of steel ( turntables) look far cooler than CDJs or the pale glow of a laptop's LED screen. That said, pop a laptop alongside the 1200s, things look rather stylish...that they do.

its all good

I mean no disrespect towards the digital dj.


however, having learnt the craft of beat matching on a pair of technics I know how difficult it is to do it with actual vinyl records, let alone an entire 2 hour set broadcast to millions of people. variations in turn tables, variations in vinyl pressing techniques, variations in vinyl condition and quality, all work together to cause changes in pitch and timing that must be constantly monitored and adjusted for. vinyl is an imprecise medium by nature which means the dj's technique must be spot on.


digital methods such as cdj's or scratch live are inherently more precise from the start which allows beats to be matched with less effort. not to mention the precision you can achieve with ableton live, at that point it almost becomes a recording that someone has laid out in advance.


with vinyl mixes like this you can hear when the dj is adjusting the speed of the turntable, you know that when he starts a track its playing from the exact place on the vinyl that he wants it to play from, you know hes paying attention. you know hes standing there putting his reputation on the line with the physical skills he has or has not mastered. and really, and this might offend or enrage a few people, given enough time even a person with no arms could put together a digital mix that would rival any of the worlds best digital djs if they were so inclined, and at that point its really just the computer doing all the work.


dont get me wrong, i love computers, and I fully understand the value of having a computer work for you but there are certain things that just aren't the same. with vinyl, I know I'm listening to a human being.

I wrote something similar to

I wrote something similar to that C, but it disappeared somehow before I posted it.

I agree totally with you. It's like playing GT4 on the PS3 vs driving a track in a actual car.

I respect gamers who can drive with precision round the tracks on their PS3s getting incrediable times, but this does not compare to being in an actual car doing it where you are using all your senses and from that how well intune with those senses you are makes you go faster. In the digital PS3 world you're only really using 2 senses as opposed to using your whole body to actually feel what's going on.

good analogy

i never thought of it that way but I like it. also I can't WAIT for GT5 to come out, hopefully this december rumor is true.

i think that analogy is

i think that analogy is doing a gross disservice to a lot of very talented dj's - whether mixing with vinyl or digitally the end result is essentially the same = a Mix (whereas with ur anology ur comparing a real life race with a computer game)- which one sounds the best isn't down to how its put together its who put it together.

you are quite right with which technique requires more skill tho. i just feel ur analogy is a bit off

Vinyl

Yes, vinyl has something that the CDR or MP3 will never have. It's a tangible medium with a physical connection to the performer. His or her hands are in full, tactile control of the groove that makes it's way via the needle to the bassbins in front of which you're dancing. You bear witness to the raw, imprecise, spontaneous human energy of a vinyl performance as well as just listening to the beats.

For examples it's easy to look to the turntablists, d'n'b jocks or a shrinking few 4/4 DJs. Remember Carl Cox a decade ago? What a show it used to be.

There are some DJs who've used the digital technology at the same level of performance and technical mastery, but they are few compared to the ones who just use it to do their beat-matching for them and throw in a few token loops to help their mixes sound more seamless.

Ultimately there are sets that are interesting to listen to and there are sets that turn a night out into an epiphany and an inspiration for years after. The most inspiring performances I've ever heard are - hands down - those performed on a pair of 1210's.

Sadly there's a growing generation of clubbers for whom seeing a DJ pull out a vinyl is some kind of archaic novelty.

Judging by the essays this

Judging by the essays this mix has provoked, I will make it top of my list for a proper listen! :-) You can't beat the buzz you get from mixing on vinyl, especially when everything is going right: the track you're bringing in is in line, the beats hitting; gentle touches to keep it going as you work the levels; the tempo building, you reach the cut, hit the crossfade, drop the bass - hands in the air, the imaginary crowd go mental! Haha. Never tried, but can't see it being the same on a laptop.

Technologic

I believe that technology, in all aspects of life, lets us break barriers and do things better than we were able to do before. Boys Noize is an incredible DJ and with that being said, if you're using Ableton and your set doesn't sound nearly as good as this one, you're just an amateur and you shouldn't really be considered a "DJ".

Technologic

On a side note, Boys Noize usually uses two turntables and two CDJs, which is incredible.

Do you mean he's mixing four

Do you mean he's mixing four tracks at once, or that he can mix two tracks from two different formats if he needs to? (Listening to the set I can't hear much three-deck action, but it sure is banging).

I guess since acetates and white labels all come on CDRs these days he doesn't have much choice but to have CDJs in the wings.

He's not always mixing three

He's not always mixing three or four tracks at once and also not really in this set, but I've seen him twice and he'll sometimes mix two tracks at once while throwing in a sample or acapella and getting the fourth deck ready with another song to mix out of the other two tracks. He's one of the most entertaining DJs to watch mix because if you're a DJ also you know exactly what he's doing when he's doing it. He's one of my faves.

So fresh and so clean

CLEAN! This set is rockin.

mixology with vinyl

is a science - trust me, I remember watching Sasha and Carl Cox mix on 3-4 decks in 1989/90 - and it was pure art.

This mix rocks btw ;) enjoy

Rockin

Just listened to this today. F***in rockin by the way!

Modern popular songs are

Modern popular songs are typically distributed as recordings, and are played on the radio,70-431 exam though all other mass media that have audio capabilities are involved. Their relative popularity is inferred from commercially significant sales of recordings,70-562 exam ratings of stations and networks that play them, and ticket sales for concerts by the recording artists. A popular song can become a modern folk song when members of the public who learn to sing it from the recorded version teach their version to others. Popular songs may be called pop songs for short,70-620 exam although pop songs or pop music may instead be considered a more commercially popular genre of popular music as a whole.
