Scratch perverts essential mix

Get onto the ADJF soundcloud and download most of the Saturday sessions, half of it is heavy dnb dubstep breakbeat stuff

^ i think the other problem is that Technic saw all those years ago that there was a growing market for DJ's that wanted to use their TT's, and that's when they started to jack up the price, now because they've gone away for so long and people are talking about the return so much, they know they can keep the price up there and even jack it up further and people will still buy them.

Dj Jazzy Jeff posted this on his Facebook, I don't think he's expecting them to be affordable

Neither were my mk5's, although I was very lucky to get them in imaculate condition, and I've since now done some mods to them with the help of Duz

I am really looking forward to seeing these in action, although i won't be upgrading from my 1200 mk5's any time soon, am still very keen to see how these handle

Mitch getting more funky with this set, much different from his deep house days

i think this is apple digging them selves a little lower into the grave, they've already lost millions upon millions of dollars towards the end of last year, this could be their undoing i think

The legendary Technics SL-1200 turntable has been a mainstay of the DJ scene for decades now, but the tanklike direct-drive turntable has also long had a quiet reputation for sound quality as well. And for the 50th anniversary of the SL-1200, Technics is releasing two new "Grand Class" models aimed at audiophiles: the aluminum-cased SL-1200G and the magnesium limited anniversary edition SL-1200GAE, of which only 1,200 will be produced. (Get it?) Apart from the case, the new models all have new "high-dampening tonearm" and a "three-layered turntable," which are words that audiophiles who buy a limited edition magnesium record player are sure to be excited about. There's also a new microprocessor controlled direct-drive system which eliminates something called "cogging," a scrouge so terrible that Technics devotes a full paragraph to it in the press release. Here is that paragraph. Behold its majesty: Direct drive turntable systems have been beloved by HiFi enthusiasts since their birth in 1972. However, one problem that direct-drive systems have always faced was sound quality degradation caused by 'cogging’, or tiny vibrations of the motor and rotational speed fluctuations. However, by combining the knowledge and expertise gained as the originator of direct-drive turntable systems with a newly developed coreless direct-drive motor without iron core, this ‘cogging’ can be eliminated. Any potential minute motor vibrations are suppressed even further by high-precision rotary positioning sensors guided by a microprocessor controlled system; a feature unique to the new Technics turntable. Vinyl record sales have been booming lately, so it's not at all surprising that Technics is capitalizing on the SL-1200's mystique here — we're actually expecting to see a few high-end turntables at CES 2016. No word on pricing, but expect these to be crazy expensive when the 1200GAE arrives in summer and the 1200G hits late in the year. (Also, 50 years' worth of SL-1200s are also available on eBay and Craigslist in virtually every city in the world, if you're that impatient.) Source

finally one of them gets onto the monthly mixes

Welcome

Welcome

thanks m8, always awesome to hear that it help put somebody in a good mood ........now go back and listen to the other 2hrs you missed

hey guys, here is the mix that Labrat and myself did on new years eve, 3hrs to pure bass music, we dropped too many genres to count, and too many tracks to even give you a track list so you'll just have to shazam it FREE DOWNLOAD also cupe i'm posting it here because of the amount of genres it just seem to make more sense

lol sadly kodiak does have a point in his nomination

yeah well it's an idea worth throwing out their, Beatless was pretty dam sure he'd have a car by the time the meat came around, but yeah could also be worth hiring a car in Brisbane and then fly back from Cairns afterwards, i just reckon a road trip with good friends might be a cool way of doing things, and i've always wanted to drive on the east coast

oxykon looks to rotorcraft for them to finally post a mix :>

Labrat

Pending

dam it you beat me lol i'll say cupe for his downtempo remixes

Labrat, getting on the decks every now and then and even taking the radio to his weekly trump'd gigs

cupe

I'm gonna say the monthly mix thread, because it's a great way to get people working on different genres each month

scottie

Gandy :>
