Damn!! They beat me to it. But at least I still have the monkey idea! One point to me.

As pointed out before, the problem really lies on the fact that dj's with loops and effects tend to be trigger happy. Flicking too many switches and jumping from one loop to another doesn't make it any more interesting... it follows on from the producing side where you HAVE to learn to keep it simple and let 1 idea flow for a while.

However if you have restraint and can do that hocus pocus, whilst remaining controlled and fully aware that a track in itself has been masterfully created to push the crowd in a direction, then I think you can be let into the cool gang with the crazy cool kidz! :P

Many of those producers SAMPLE stuff and LOOP it to make theyr tracks so in that order of thought the people who they sampled
might think the same about them....


man you kill it with every post ..

the problem is, people discussing with very different backgrounds ..

its like to try telling someone something which he or she can only aquire through experience ..

we know vinyl will not die for a long long time ..
