I agree Trev  but this is not being built as a clash, just a juggling dance, but with these big names you know some big tunes will be dropping ------------- "Music is life" |

Radigan from my understanding is a one man band. He's probably decided to give the music (tunes) 100% rather than trying to do too many things.......you know the saying, jack of all trades, master of non!!! I know that his selector he uses on billed clashes R.S. Digital has a soundsystem. Had the pleasure of passing down to this event last night and reasoning with the full crew of QSS Sound and also Zukey from Luv Injection. QSS are sounding much heavier than before. Biggup Kutty, has Bristol pon lock. I couldnt stay long enough to hear luv injection turn up the sound, but their extremely high stack produces some clear Mids and tops. Injection are the fastest at setting up......I left dem bringing in the set and when I returned 30 mins later, they were up and running. |

Respect Jason. Thanks for passing through with the Gismo The night went very well, Nuff big tunes as would be expected from that kind of line up,
Nice vybze. Big UP to Zuki, Winston, Coco, Mexi and the Injection crew, for making this possible.
I know we are all fed up with the download djs that come with their laptops or cd pouchies and
call themselves sounds, but I wouldn't put Rodigan in that category as he has been around for years,
buying his tunes (on Vinyl), cutting his dubs on slate and playing real concious reggae music
all over the world. So he has put in the graft. So have to give him his due and accept that he has
now become a Veteran Pouchie DJ

I am not troublemaking and trust me i know all people involed in this well from rodigan [years] gossips days injection from before they were injection bowler hat days and have a know kutty from this forum a little. but i have been in this game a long time and when rodigan used to play on a bill back in the day he HAD to hire a sound because manz would not allow him to play on his sound. WHICH ENGLISH SOUND PLAY ON COXSONE ,SAXON UNITY FATMAN AND THE REST BACK IN THE DAY NONE DIDN'T HAPPEN YARD AND ABROAD YES UK HELL NO this was only because of the travelling sounds back in the days like arrows and jaro that promoters would allow you not to have a system and sometimes they had to pay outside sounds for them to play on [goodtimes mannaseh ] being one of them ,if we are trying to bring back the goodtimes of dance hall we need to make this happen again and a lot of sounds that dont get the chance to show there system off will get more work from the sub hire market Trust me sounds from yard and abroad know which sounds they want to work off and only pick sounds that represent the noise they bring with there own system i don't go to world clashes and suchlike because of this one sound system plays all business where your not promoting the industry that got you here with your dubs so you can have your 4 grand plus day out with punters paying 45 pounds a ticket to see djs play intros but thats a whole next argument my 2p big up kutty rodi and zueky DJ sounds have mashed the sound game and destroyed an industry record shops ,bands ,groups ------------- IM SO SECRETIVE BUT I CANT TELL YOU WHY |

Bless up Trev! I agree with you 100%. The promoters were intending to use 1 system for this dance,but I suggested that 2 systems would bring a better vibe to the dance, which it did! and it would have been even better if it was 3 systems. As for the world cup clashes and so forth each sound on different systems also would make things more exiting and interesting to the punters and at the same time support the business. ------------- "Music is life" |

people have always pirated music but that was always a personal thing for your own entertainment but with downloads it has made regular punters DJ who have gone on and made money off the downloading which has bought a knock on effect of MAJOR record shops closing down and distributors causing yet another knock on effect of NO new bands coming through or being supported apparently 3 yes 3 major albums we released in JA last year
IF WE DON'T SUPPORT THE TING IT WILL MASH UP keep dance hall alive and support live artist as best you can i am not saying i haven't downloaded music off the net before because i have but i mainly download tunes i have ALREADY got in my vinyl collection push the bedroom DJ back in the bedroom it doesn't take 6 djs on a bill to make a dance nice quality not quantity if your a djs that owns or works on a sound system then i got time for you ------------- IM SO SECRETIVE BUT I CANT TELL YOU WHY |

| Can you clarify for me trev when you say download Djs. Is this Djs who download free from sites like YouTube or all downloading Inc legal sites like ITunes and ones who buy the tunes and burn them on CD's to play on as a preference. Not having a pop, just asking for clarification before you all start to shoot me down. |

Too true Trev . Alot of people just download a whole heap'a music and think their selectors. Iman been collecting now for 25 years and still havent lost the bug. And when there's a certain tune that you heard in the dance back in the day and you finally track it down that magic feeling with uplifting vibes you get when you spin the tune- you cant get that thru no computer!!!!! All this computer business is a joke thing u know and the quality aint there and it shows even more when played loud. Even cd's cant carry the magic of vinyl for me but at least cd's sound good when compared to this joke download business with inferior sound quality. ------------- LET THE BASS ROLL LIKE THUNDER & THE TOPS LIKE LIGHTNING..... |

I agree with you TRE4U2NV. Promotors are always offering chump change and hardluck stories like you said, demanding cdj's for djs who can't mix (they just wanna reel back tunes). I started in this game buying records, then eventually to CDs, but I didn't like using CDs. Use to bring out vinyl and CDs, Was always against laptops until I saw a proper dj use a laptop in a professional manner, and then I wad converted on the spot!!!! I would then use vinyl and laptop until one night, my record box and laptop was stolen. I vowed from then never to bring out my records again!!!! My laptop tunes were mostly backed up so no real lost. I can say 99% of my laptop tunes are not illegal downloads, and bought of authentic websites. I'm a soundman first so quality of laptop setup from soundcard to bitrates are of the best quality. You might not hear snap crackle and pop in some of my digitally mastered downloads, but you will still hear the quality!! I may not have experienced Shaka in the 70's (too young), but from a young age have had soundsystem in my blood................can remember at 8 years old in Jamaica, playing with my cousin with toy jeeps and using matchboxes as speakerboxes on the jeeps backseat!!!! What I'm trying to say is, I know the soundsystem shouldn't die, but there is nothing wrong with it evolving. I vinyl record, a turntable, a cdj, a laptop, is simply a tool..........the dj/selector is who determines how good that piece of equipment sounds and how well he or she can entertain. I love my soundsystem (proud owner), but am opened minded enough to embrace technology! |

Well said Jason There is nothing wrong with trying new technology, as long as it's done properly. The quality you can get from your laptop has improved a lot recently, with the higher bitrates and good quality soundcards and controllers that are now available. We converted our dub box to CD and mp3 a few years ago before the turntables that connect to you laptop or the ones that burn direct to cds were available, so the quality wasn't that good, but now that these machines are available we can now get them sounding a lot better. lot of work to do it, but in our case its worth it, especially when on tour. Trust me, checking in all them record boxes on a plane aint cheap nowadays. and lumping them around from airport, to hotel, to dance, on trains, etc is back breaking work. compared to 1 laptop and 1 hard drive and in our case someone else always has a backuo laptop and hard drive too. No contest realy. ------------- "Music is life" |

| As I've said before, it is down to the quality of your recording in the first place. Lots of laptop/mp3 stuff sounds crap because it was recorded badly. If you have a good quality sound it can be absolutely fine. My only worry with a laptop is that there are many layers of noise and interference between the music program and the output of sound. Have any of you ever found this? Are you, ironically enough, not better off just using an mp3 player? I know that is not a 'cool' option, but i have heard them used and they have sounded better and cleaner than many laptop setups. |

gents i am not opposed to laptops or new technology i love it but what im concerned with is cheapening the game as in ,djs calling themselves djs that have never played a full dance/party on there own or bought vinyl or cds also playing across the genres not just learning how to play 30 tune in a two hour set well ,we all can do that im not a hater because ive been there done dat [no arrogance intended ] just make sure that the game remains strong throughout our en-devours LEARN - USE -TEACH -PROGRESS KEEP THE GAME STRONG BY NOT SELLING YOURSELVES SHORT AND ENJOY IT SIMPLE, BE THE BEST YOU CAN AND REMEMBER EVEN EXPERTS STILL LEARN FROM THE STRANGEST PLACES ------------- IM SO SECRETIVE BUT I CANT TELL YOU WHY |

Yes, in this instance, I'm the dude not the promoter charging £75 to soundsystems to enter this arena next week Sunday at the Golden Palace Banqueting Suite in London (thanx for the free plug). Where they can showcase their sound to potential clients, tune their set in a suitable arena, and just have a general bit if fun!! Again as I've said before, this is mainly for forum users, and their guests. I wouldn't call myself a promoter in this instance, although I have dabbled in promoting which was sucessfull even after paying each DJs their Usual rates! But anyone with a little bit if sense, knows the difference between the 2 events I've just mentioned..........but let me it explain it to you Heathrow_BLine:- A good promoter wouldn't be looking for sounds on a forum who he has never seen their set or heard them play and expect to pay them, A good promoter would use well known DJs/sounds that he knew would bring a crowd, with just their name on the billing alone, and happily pay the asking rate. If you dont understand this, then maybe you need to keep your future posts in the newbie section and I'm sure a few of us forum users will be able to explain this with the aid of a diagram!!!!! Thanx for the free plug, though! This coming Sunday 3 July at the Golden Palace Banqueting Suite an event called Soundsystem Sound-Off! For more info check events and tings!! |

Heathrow_B_line- when i first purchased an amp, speaker box, record etc... i mean from the start... i did not have any intentions of making money. i jus plain enjoy it. i go to work to earn money.... if i try to earn money from soundsystem its not exactly gonna be easy light work and will prob grind me to a point where its not enjoyable. if i ever get or got paid its jus a result! also this type of event is great experience and lets you get to know your rig also attitudes and atmosphere is relaxed. ill be dead one day n then nothing matters so basically why not? Tre4u2nv- I a pure vinyl man .... does feel a man wiv laptop can bring his WHOLE selection, get his selection easier BUT everyone do there thing a lil different and its outa control now so nothing can be done. i would even go as far to say vinyl is a pain but jus sumit bout it.... so many issues with it, bad presses, scratches, warping, skipping, feedback, weight, wear but as you say support the scene and for me records and record players are for soundsystem..... cds is for cars and at home.... saying that i MASSIVELY respect nearly all sounds on any format.... jus gotta listen to the music n forget, which format blah blahJAH P.s Motion54 .... got a few peeps to pop along but you know how hard it be to get people off there ass!!!! looking forward |
