  • oh btw, thanks to everyone for their advice on portable record players in an earlier thread.. can't seem to locate it, hence the praise here..
  • intriguing, judging by the description of the tracks, it sounds like that movement called dubstep is centred around the mid-90s style of breakbeat hardcore that originated in the UK - the REAL jungle as far as I'm concerned - which has a much heavie…
  • strange timing, just as i heard mention of yet another musical genre (well to me anyhow), someone left a message on my myspace page asking whether my dubsteppy stuff was going to be released. wasn't even aware i was writing dubstep! anyhow, i'm int…
  • 14 i think, it was 1993 when I started fiddling with ProTracker on the amiga, although my first works were hardcore techno. in 1995 (age 16) i helped an mc friend (perth trio skippy2smooth for all the ol school australian heads!) who i knew through…
  • Do not bring a portable. No stores will let you use them, including 2nd hand stores. Cool for listening to finds in the hotel, but that's about it. bevan: for real?!? wow, things must have changed. the places i went i pointed to my portable and they…
  • PS how is digging in Cologne? while in europe i got to dig in Leipzig and frankfurt and got some nice pieces. awesome 2LP press of 6 feet deep in leipzig (sugar hill records store i think?) and loads of hardcore techno and old school UK breakbeat st…
  • Scope: 'sall good mate - just slide me some Japanese heat when you get back home.. hehe. If I get the chance I'll up some pics here for you to check out, stuff to look out for. Thes: I didn't cop much heat from Disk Union. Just all these other ill …
  • yes, most definitely bring the portable! though having said that, you could just pick one up over there. mine was invaluable and since they're pretty hip over there to the hip hop, crate digging culture, don't mind using it, although since i was mai…
  • all i can remember was simply walking around shibuya and running into record stores left, right and centre, all with hot stuff at a 100yen a pop. i'm not fluent in japanese so i think it's fair to say they're pretty common place. entire buildings wi…
  • that picture up there for real? certain aspects of the crowd on the right make me think some photoshop might be involved... ive thought the same when i first saw it but the weather was indeed like that on australia day. perth has this massive firew…
  • i have both. i'd never use them for sampling purposes, the styli are just too gritty. they are designed for digging and that's all they are good for. coolo - that's basically all i needed to check!
  • maybe cop a second hand denon off ebay or something, or a new player, they ain't that expense these days right !?! hows the digging in perth max - the pic below has been doing the rounds, looks pretty nice over there !! peep the comet in the middl…
  • both crap, Numark slightly less so. in terms of sound quality? or build quality?
  • get some kind of keyboard or akai pads and midi interface you can use with your puter, maybe? That way you got the two working together? I dunno. I've never used computers to make music so i'm not too cluey, but some of those e-mu interfaces look s…
  • also - anyone had any experience sampling off a portable turntable? i'm certain the sound might not be comparable to a proper set up with a 1200 and dedicated what not, but will it do the job??
  • That is ridiculous. I've recently sold some records to people in France via paypal - hoping I don't get some similar treatment. A suggestion to get at this French cocksucker: if people are going to stop offering Paypal - perhaps have a link to a p…
  • There's a couple spots in Perth worth checking out, You should speak to Dan The Man who works at RTR (local radio), does a bit of promo, He'd be able to show you around. I'm not sure who is putting your show on, though. Yeah good call by Wooshie! Y…
  • Cant make your show here in Perth this weekend but if noone is showing you around to the stores (not much really going on here in perth but occasionally gems show up), yell out and i'll try and organise a little digging party...
  • I think doors open early.. like 8am or ealier. You can get an earlybird for an extra $5... don't even contemplate that extra doe, early bird always catches the sayer... thanks for the heads up bev, i'll be arriving at melb airport at 6am so might j…
  • I'm gonna be in Melbourne this weekend from Sunday through to Tuesday... anything hip hop wise going on? DON'T FORGET THERE'S THE CAMBERWELL RECORD FAIR ON THIS SUNDAY in MELBS! Don't miss it. You can get an earlybird in there, save your $$ for that…
  • Discovery moved to Erskinville, right near the train station In Melbourne the 3 best spots are Northside (Gertrude St, Fitzroy), Liquorice pie & Idems shop (forget the name - jay cee's perhaps?) - both on High St just off Chapel, Prahan the…
  • Hi all. Long time lurker, first time poster. Oh yeah welcome too!
  • I'm not sure if Discovery Records in Hornsby is still there or not, but that place is solid gold! When I was there in 2001, I spent two whole days clearing out the store from back to front and picked up a few nice bits and breaks I've never seen her…
  • ... in Dallas. I must be missing something - for the week I was in Texas years back, I actually enjoyed Dallas more than I did Houston! Is there something I'm missing as an Australian looking in rather than a American/Texan looking out?
  • Thanks Lamont - very helpful and informative!
  • It's ironic that, once people took the initiative to finally make a magazine that basically caters to all of us, people still find a way to hate. Possibly the greatest words and most insightful statement I've ever read on Soulstrut in the years I'v…
  • Oh, and I hit up this estate sale. Missed the 45s, but scored all of this including the iMac[/b] for $60CAN (iMac being $25 - 800mhz G4 512 ram DVD-RW boo-ya). DOING THANGS! Holy moley! That is just ridiculous - fantastic score mate! The signals f…
  • I think Zenith in Melbourne are worth speaking to- I met their mastering engineer the other day and he's a gun. If he touches it I'm sure you'll get a good pressing. He's been doing it a long time and definately knows his stuff. Check them out at h…
  • I see Archer is doing 7"s now. Anybody wanna vouch for them? Noticed that too, I hit 'em up for an online quote and waiting to hear back from them... from what i saw online their prices look pretty good!
  • ACME in Canada is pretty good, and so is A&R in Dallas.. my 2 cents Thanks for the info! Acme I've checked out, haven't come across A&R in my travels though.. do they have a website or are they only contactable via phone? Can't seem to fin…
