Sorry but for me beer + playing doesnt work at all!

I only need to sniff a beer and my mixing goes out the window, it
sounds ace at the time but listening back its shocking.

Well i can't say I have played when extremely battered but I can usually take a few beers and some brandys and still play well.

My worst attempt was at a car show i was working at. Had travelled 400 miles
done a days work the got the stella out.

Decided it would be fun to hook up the decks to a transmitter and play to a few hundred peeps who were demo'ing their ICE.

The result was MESSY

Oh they don't, I had to go private

I just take DJing and particularly anything to do with CDJ's very seriously

Liquid_Entity · 17 Apr 2007 at 14:07

It's all about harmonic mixing, key crossovers and Halliwell-esque spinbacks!!1 :cool:

Far from it.

This arguement is rinsed quite frankly, I'm quite sure everyone knows the ins and outs and finer details, but there are those within the scene I am a part of that feel quite ok to play out sets with pre-pitched CDs. Which is wrong.

I use CDJ's often when I'm playing out, because at £40 a side, I can't afford to cut Dubs of every tune I'm sent. Given the choice I'd prefer to do that, but its not economically viable for me.

Pre-pitched is a different thing altogether, that is cheating imo.

Beatmatching is something that a dj should be able to do instinctively and with ease, but that doesn't mean you can just surpass it altogether.

I dont know anyone that pre-pitches their music, except for Andy (S)Whitby.
