Yep. :) I've had no trouble getting used to the platter but I'm beginning to come round to the idea of pitch adjustment and ignoring the BPM counter so can finally mix between tracks a bpm or two apart which is a good feeling. :D Just wish I had another deck so I could carry on mixing, it's near impossible to mix out from the CDJ into VirtualDJ unless you get really lucky.
 
I had a go on Smiley Man's decks over Christmas and i was quite surprised at how good i was. I'm sure given my own decks and a bit of practise i'd be better than Jules in no time :p
 
Oh and i'm current recording my 2007 mix in Ableton, it was a nightmare whittling it down to 50 tracks! Lots of harmonic mixing going on you'll be pleased to hear OMS
 
Finished my mix :D

it's taken me 3 full days!

Looks like a good one. :) Do you have a digital version of the J00F Knights of Cydonia track? The version I have is a vinyl recording and so the tempo slips as the track goes on meaning you have to constantly adjust, I've been meaning to correct it in Ableton but never got round to it.
 
Looking forward to the release Of Markus Schulz new mix album 2008. Heard a sampler yesterday and it sounded awesome, always been a big fan of Schulz. Its out really soon.

Amsterdam 08 follows in the footsteps of Miami 05 and Ibiza 06, and Markus Schulz couldn’t be happier about its origins – Amsterdam is his spiritual home thanks to the overwhelming passion of the people resident there. “I always choose cities that are dear to me for my annual mix compilation” says Markus. “I just love Amsterdam, I feel a real connection there – my friends there are like my family. The people of Holland were one of the first to embrace and accept me and my sound, so it was the natural choice to do the 08 mix there.”

Markus’ brand of dark, melodic trance is in demand the world over; his weekly Global DJ Broadcast radio show is now syndicated to over 30 stations worldwide, his shows have taken in everywhere from Australia to Russia, China to Trinidad, and many other destinations along the way, and 2008 is set to bring more dates in Australia, as well as Asia and South America. Amsterdam 08 is a must-have album for dance fans everywhere, and comprises Markus’ top tracks from 2007 and hot tips for 2008. “I really enjoy putting the compilation CDs together,” says Markus, “they’re always a total labour of love and are in my mind all the time. All year I’ll hold back tracks that are just gems for the mix; I’ll play them out here and there over the summer but I’ll save them for the CD. Amsterdam 08 opens a little differently – CD1 starts quite slow by trance standards: 124 bpm, so it sets the mood, similar to when I’m playing extended sets. The atmosphere builds up so that when you get to CD2 it’s full on, middle-of-a-set tempo trance.”

Stand out tracks include 2 Glenn Morrison cuts, (I” love what he’s doing,” says Markus, “he’s on fire right now!”), the Moonbeam remix of new Lens track, Beyond The Shadows, (“an amazing discovery for me”), and Avalon by Enmass, as well as the Coldharbour remix of Markus Schulz feat Andy Moor’s Daydream – a stunning slice of melodic trance with truly divine vocals.

Markus, who also runs his own Coldharbour label, is often in Amsterdam for club dates and regularly plays for Armada Music’s events and festivals. “I really feel part of this city, it’s so special for me” he says. “This CD is a thank you to everyone there who has supported me over the years, and I hope it becomes a special selection of tunes to everyone who hears it.”

It's a white label and never got an official release, no-one's losing out. Not to mention the fact it's an unauthorised sample. :p

You know what hehe, I put a :p on the end of my post but I must have deleted it.

I'm not phased by these mp3 pirates. It's helped get my tune out to more and more people anyway. Certainly helps having AvB cain it as well :D

I thought you were joking but you never know on these forums (OcUK North Korea as Grrrrrrrrrrrr's sig points out). :p

I'll make a mental note to steal your tune. ;) Good thing you reminded me, I might get the CD off CDJShop to get free postage on my Anjunabeats t-shirt, been looking for some new tunes to buy. :)
