great track to kick off with I love something that takes a while for you to work out it's a remix or different version also lets people know a new DJ is on the floor, then when they here the shit they love they can bash every cunt to grapple their way to the dancefloor - then you got 'em. just need to keep 'em second transition had a bit of a sharp drop off for me, but it's into a good energetic song, so I might of pushed a bit further through the intro into the build up into the epic drop at 6:fifty something i like when drops sneak up on you and suddenly appear like a ninja in transitions. but im a dirty mixer third drop was intense. i was like beatboxing over the top of it and shit half doing other shit listening to it and fucken loved it this track fucken reminds me off that dubstep mix lawlawl OH MAI GAWSH even still has some of the dubsteppy robotic noise in it. fucken dope. punters would of tripped out over that shit slower fade out might of been nice, but remember, we're critical as fuck. drunk punters don't know shit (except if they're some pro wannabe DJ cunt who's trying to rip on you all the time (smash him later)) good outro track. shit like that makes the crowd be all like 'who the fuck is this wack cunt' when the next DJ rocks out his weak intro track (dont do this if you're opening for someone dope LAWL) anyway, yea

not even in the year 2040 where our stylus is lazorbeams and direct drive is old tech?

So eventually the 1200's will be too old. Right now everyone is trying to grab up (probably mostly 2nd hand) 1200's etc (MK5 and the rest) but what will come up to replace it? They can't continue to be the standard in 5, maybe 10 years when they're just old and 2nd hand or whatever, aye? What's going to be the new dominating turntable after no one cares about 1200's anymore?

post an intro too

welcome

isn't that half your name tomy lol

tomy wins thread

was driving home from the plaza today, listening to music and not paying attention to anything. as we were stopping at one of the stop lights, i see a girl on the street start screaming. looked back and saw her pointing, and I followed where she was looking .. out in an unfenced yard were three guys. 2 of them standing, one of them was on the ground, bloody. The taller guy had a baseball bat and was about ready to smash it into the downed guys head again, when the other guy realised all these people were looking at them. i started calling 000, the other man, who hadn't been doing anything, took a pistol out of his pocket and shot the guy in the head. everyone was like wtf is going on and were glued to the morbid scene.. the two guys got into a car and sped off. When I got home I was visibly shaken. I told mum what I just saw. Then she got scared and said, "You're moving with your auntie and uncle in Bel-Air." I whistled for a cab and when it came near, the license plate said "FRESH" and it had dice in the mirror. If anything I could say that this cab was rare but I thought "Nah, forget it, yo homes to Bel-Air!" I pulled up to the house about 7:00 or 8:00 and I yelled to the cabby, "Yo homes, smell ya later!" Looked at my kingdom, I was finally there, to sit on my throne as the Prince of Bel-Air.

Tosca is a duo made up of Austrian producers Richard Dorfmeister & Rupert Huber. Richard also works as one half of another duo Kruder & Dorfmeister, and Rupert has dropped solo albums in the past and worked on his fair share of collaborations. He is a talented composer, musician, and also mixes compilations. They are old childhood friends and began their journey in the music business by forming an experimental band and calling themselves Dehli9. They have come a long way since those days. These guys have been in the game for over ten years and are quite the character's… in terms of interviews that is. Their latest album drops on April 21st, 2009 on !K7 Records and its called No Hassle. What track do you feel is your most successful track to date? (Rupert) In terms of music my first from the new album is one of the best we ever did. In terms of number of remixes Honey from Suzuki, and Chocolate Elvis. If you look back at the history of all of your releases which release do you favor the least? In terms of the original albums I love all of them, can still listen to all of them. In terms of the remix albums, Different Tastes of Honey, although it has this special dirty touch that I actually love. As a duo what unique qualities do you each bring to the table? In terms of food, I tend to eat more of the oysters, but I do not like tuna fish capriccio. In terms of music, we both bring the unique quality to create music together for more than a hundred years. Do you listen to other genres of music besides EDM; and if so can you name a few bands or artists? In terms of classical music, I like the Hilliard ensemble and Alfred Brendel. In terms of blues, I love blind Willie McTell and Muddy Waters. What do you feel the benefits of having a production partner are? In terms of working, there is more inspiration in the studio. In terms of hearing, 4 ears hear much more than just 2 times 2. Do you ever work on a track separately and then re-join to complete the finish product or are both of you always present in the studio? In terms of Tosca, everything is created with the 2 of us in the same room. Do you like to multitask from track to track or focus on one track until completion? In terms of creating the track, we only work on one at a time. In terms of mixing it, we wait 2 months with the mix while creating another track. Which general aspects in life spark your creativity the most? In terms of creativity, it is just there, like a tree. In terms of inspiration, emotions generally are a big theme. What projects are you current working on in your solo careers? In terms of sound installations, I am working on a permanent installation for an airport. In terms of piano music, I try to write more pieces for piano and strings. What new equipment or software are you most looking forward to purchasing as an addition to your studio? In terms of equipment, I would like to have a Pro Tools mixing desk. In terms of software, I would like to learn Final Cut. In terms of money, I cannot purchase anything. Can you tell us about the scene in your native country and which genre is currently taking the lead? In terms of the official Austria, it is unfortunately still like in 1955: classical music and Schlager. What do your schedules look like in the months ahead? In terms of the next months, there will be some concerts by Tosca in churches, museums, and an old sex-cinema. What concerns or predictions do you have for the future of electronic music? In terms of the future, as long as there is electricity coming out of the plug, there will be electronic music. Do you have any other exciting news that you would like to share with us? In terms of exciting news I am looking forward to our concert in New York in September.

Dutch Sensation Ferry Corsten is about to kick off his Once Upon a Night World Tour at the Winter Music Conference next week. We are quite excited to see what he has in store for us. The Trance superstar will also be releasing a compilation album featuring some great artists. Ferry talked to us about the detail that is involved with the set up of his upcoming event, as well as the joys of being a father, and more… You'll be launching the kick-off to the 'Once Upon A Night' world tour at Winter Music Conference (March 27 @ Karu & Y). What are some of the enhancements to the event that the crowd can expect? The show Once Upon A Night is based on the launch of my brand new compilation series. The idea of the album is to take my listeners with me on a night out and give them an idea of what a kind of night they would have. The show will be an interactive one and the production is going to be based on an album cover that comes to life. For every show I have a number of guest DJs planned, e.g. WMC Solarstone, Cosmic Gate, Sied van Riel… I'm really excited to present and tour with the concept this year. How many hours of work is involved for the staging of your shows for example Full on Ferry, and Once Upon A Night? It is a long process and takes definitely hundreds if not thousands of work. Not only for me but also for so many others that help make the show possible. There's the brainstorming of ideas, the actual production build up from sketches, footage, etc. There's the constant number of meetings throughout the months to make sure that everyone is on the same page. I guess I work with very passionate people who love what they do so it's great to have the intense amount of enthusiasm … but it does take a while. What is the longest set you have ever performed and when and where was it? Wow. I remember I had an album concert for my artist album “ Right of Way” where I played from about 10:30pm to 6:30am BUT since it was daylight saving that morning, I played an extra hour… so 9 hours! You recently performed at the Nokia Theatre for Made Event in New York for the first time. What did you think of the venue and the lighting design? The venue was beautiful and the concept was great! I saw it recently on youtube and it looked amazing. You mentioned that some of the locations you've performed in have influenced your latest compilation Once Upon A Night. Can you be more specific as to what type of influence each of the countries you were referring to in this comment provided to the overall vibe? Well first of all the cover of the CD is from my hometown Rotterdam, which has largely influenced my music over the years. It's also my home base and my place of refuge. Other than that, I wanted to take people on an imaginary journey through my CD and take them to some of the places that I've played in the last year. From the tropical beach of Bali (I played the Salttank Leaving Town there for the first time) to my “holy” snow boarding vacation in Austria where I would listen to various tracks of the album while snowboarding. Can we expect future follow-ups to the 'Once Upon A Night' series approximately once a year, or more or less frequently? We do have plans to release a second one later in the year. Can you tell us some of the procedures you go through behind the scenes in order to keep yourself organized? Good question! I'm a bit of a control freak with regard to my music so I'm pretty much on the ball with things like radio show, preparing for shows, producing in the studio… But for all the other stuff... I'm glad I have a good team around me to help. How old is your daughter now? She's about a year and a half and everything they say about Fatherhood is true. I adore her. Are you enjoying watching her through her first steps of growing up? Do I! My daughter is bilingual and it's amazing to see her speak both Dutch and English. The other week before she went to sleep she said in Dutch “Bye Bye Papa” and then said “ Bye Bye” after in English. I thought my heart melted. Please describe a recent experience in which you felt enlightened by learning something valuable or interesting. I'm a Discovery Channel freak and love watching this after a long day in the studio. It helps me empty my brain and fill it with other interesting news or facts… Do you notice any trends when it comes to quality releases, for example certain months may be hotter than others? You do notice that a lot of producers are saving their best releases for the Miami Winter Music Conference dates or the Ibiza season. Usually, it is a bit slower between the holidays and the end of January. I guess everyone has to go on vacation at some point Do you have any exciting news in regards to Flashover Recordings any of your sub-labels such as Moody Moon? We've just started a new label called Premier, which is a joint venture between Flashover and Blackhole Recordings.

Richard Durand

We have some breaking news for In Search of Sunrise lovers all around the world. The franchise and compilation series had been placed in the able hands of none other than Richard Durand. Instead of discontinuing the acclaimed series Black Hole Recordings has handed Richard Durand the torch so to speak, and the results are quite promising. We look forward to the release as well as future installments. Richard feels quite strongly in regards to the continuation and as a result this had inspired him to accept this task. It's no secret that you have taken over the In Search Of Sunrise franchise. Can you tell us how it came about that you were offered to mix the latest and eighth in the esteemed compilation series? Tiësto parted with Black Hole Recordings and ended the In Search Of Sunrise series. I've always had and always will have a lot of respect for Tiësto. The mantle was sort of handed to me to carry on the torch, after Tiësto moved on. I was very honored to take on the task! What was your immediate reaction to the news once you heard you would be invited to mix the compilation? When Black Hole Recordings approached me about the mix, I thought long and hard before saying yes. I've always been a big ISOS fan myself and after weighing all the pros and cons, I decided to do the mix in part because I couldn't bear the thought of such a fantastic and globally adored compilation series coming to an end. How do you intend on continuing the sentiment behind the series? I've really tried to maintain the ISOS concept as much as possible. With that said, I'm not Tiësto, and so I choose other records than he would have chosen. I have my own personality and tastes as a DJ, producer and performer! I think the release has turned out great and I'm sure that true ISOS fans will really enjoy it. What noticeable changes have you seen in regards to the increase of your audience over the years? When you are getting bigger as an artist, more people know you and the places that you perform are getting bigger and bigger. My first gig outside of Holland was Turnmills in the UK for 100 people. Last New Years Eve I was playing at Sensation Australia for over 50,000 people… so there is some increase, as you can see! [laughs] How difficult is it for a DJ to learn how to play to the crowd, and which methods do you feel are the best for acquiring this skill? I don't think that this is something you can learn. You need to “feel” the crowd. You have to pretend that you are on the dance-floor yourself. Only then do you know what the crowd wants. Can you tell us how you linked up with Jes for your latest collaboration track? I love the voice of JES. She already completed so many beautiful tracks. She is with the same label as I am (Black Hole Recordings). So the connection was easily made. Is there any particular reason you decided to name your track “N.Y.C.”? Well, just listen to the track and you will have your answer. [laughs] What other collaborations are you currently working on? I cannot tell you about this at the moment, but stay tuned! Are there any up and coming artists that you believe the world should be keeping an eye on? Yes, Alexander O'Rion…he is a very gifted guy. Have you begun working on your next artist album? I will start working on a new track next week and then take a look at planning for the next album. Do you anticipate dabbling in any other genres of electronic music in the future? Who knows? It will always be dance, but there are so many styles and genres. I am already making different types of music than I did three years ago. You have an upcoming North American tour, what are some of the cities you will be performing in? I am just back from San Francisco and L.A., and new dates are pending at the moment. You can see my latest tour dates on my website. Can you share some of the highlights of your recent performance at Webster Hall in New York alongside Cosmic Gate? Webster Hall was great! New York is one of my favorite cities in the entire world to perform in. The people are free and open-minded. I love that atmosphere! Which of your own productions do you personally find yourself listening to most often in your spare time? None! I never listen to dance, or trance, or house music during my spare time. In my down time, I only listen to news programs or talk shows. When you are not on tour or in the studio, what hobbies or activities do you engage in? I love to play pool with friends and go out for a nice dinner. There are so many successful DJs that originate from The Netherlands in comparison to other countries. Any idea why this may be? Because we are the best? No, seriously…I don't know. We look forward to catching you on your upcoming ISOS 8 tour! Do you have any other comments for our readers? I hope to see you all when I'm back in the U.S. this summer!

Jes, the chart-topping and award-winning artist releases her highly anticipated third album, High Glow in March with Black Hole Recordings and Ultra Records. Jes has an extremely unique voice and it turns out the New York native also knows a thing or two about production and engineering. What can you ask the woman that has already been asked pretty much everything? Do you ever take the time out to reflect on some of your earliest releases? What thoughts run across your mind as you do this? I do sometimes. Many of the songs, I still sing all the time... some have faded from my live sets but the melodies are always in my mind when I'm writing. I also have many of the covers framed, so they stare at me in the background at the studio. It's nice to have worked with so many talented people throughout my career and the old songs always take you back to a different time in your life. It helps keep you motivated to see the development of your career and a very important way of staying motivated. I love to mix up my live sets and it's always fun to drop an older one in there from time to time. They say if you can make it in New York, you can make it anywhere. Do you believe this saying to be true? Well NY is my home and I love it so much, but when you spend some time away from it you start to realize that it is a very high-pressure life style compared with other cities ... There's so much competition on that Island that you really have to be doing something that's a cut above to stay up there. I guess there's some truth in the old saying ..... What are your top five possessions that you simply couldn't do without? My studio, NY Met Museum Membership, Strat guitar from the cover of Disconnect, my vintage Wurlitzer and a good wardrobe. Name some of your favorite designers? I love Diesel. They always have a great store presentation and unique twist on the everyday must have's. Also, DSquared, Faith, and Dolce and Gabanna. I love Dior purses, and I have a weakness for Prada eyewear. Chanel always have the best in classics. How extensive is your knowledge of production, and can you tell us about any of the equipment you own? Well, you know, I have been messing around with recording as long as I can remember, so I've always had a system to work with. That's not to say I am technical, really I just learn to do the tasks I need. I have been around studios and real engineers a lot, and you learn from seeing what they do and how. I own the usual stuff, computers, software, and lots of hard drives. I use a Metric Halo ULN2+DSP Firewire Audio interface. I have Neumann, Sennheiser and Shure mics and mostly plug directly into the ULN2 preamps. I have my Wurlitzer and my guitars. I usually record into Logic Pro where I edit/comp things up to create basic structures and finished composites, as well as, Protools to record instruments and also edit there. I also bring the same setup on the road with me when I travel, so I can always work wherever I am. With Logic on a laptop you can even work without the hardware, but the hardware makes it all sound even better. To what do you owe the recent increase in your success? What has been your most memorable experience related to the music industry? My new album HIGH GLOW has just been released. Also, I have a new single “Closer” coming out, with a great video to it. Everyday is a new and memorable experience, so it is hard to pin down just one. A high point was releasing my first solo album DISCONNECT. What projects do you have planned for the remainder of this year? Do you have any other comments for our readers? Lots of new singles from HIGH GLOW coming soon. I have a brand new song NYC, with Richard Durrand on ISOS8. Started new songs with BT, back in the studio recording new material, and touring!

Markus Schulz

How did you come up with the theme for the "Do You Dream?" album? Markus Schulz: I've actually been working on that album for 2 years and for me, I really approach albums totally different than a mix CD for example, for me an artist album, even though I'm a DJ, an artist album, I want to be a proper artist album where as a mix CD, is kind of like a snapshot of you know my deejay sets of the moment, so for the last two years I've really just kind of focused on putting out to the world what it is I want to be recognized as artistically and I've always been a little bit more on the deeper tip of trance not your uplifting super sought trance. I just want to take that sound artistically take it to another level, and so far the response has been absolutely amazing and I'm really really pleased with the way it turned out! The "Do You Dream?" album features vocals from Jennifer Rene, Ana Criado, Justine Suissia, Susana Lise and many other catchy vocalists. What did you hope to accomplish with this? Markus Schulz: I really wanted for it to be a proper artist album and not just like a mix CD. The track "Perception" with Justine Suissa on the album is a remake of the original by Cass & Slide. What inspired you to make a remake of it? Markus Schulz: "Perception" is one of those tracks that defined the Markus Schulz sound. I remember I moved to London, I was kind of a lost artist when I lived in Arizona and I moved to London to kind of find myself artistically and I would go out to the different club nights in London, hang out with other DJ's and just kind of like I said looking for myself as an artist and I remember being on the dance-floor and that track came on and it just changed my life I mean it was like one of those tracks that just kind of like spoke to me and said this is like the sound that you...THIS IS MY SOUND you know and then later on when I was working on this album actually the way this remake came about was I did a bootleg of the track using samples of the original and then the original has vocals by Naimee Coleman and I was not able to get a hold of the vocal and I asked Justine Suissa, I said Justine listen I'm doing this bootleg just for my deejay sets, would you sing on it for me? Because you would be the perfect person to sing this and she loved the idea, she booked studio time to do it and ironically the engineer who she worked with to record the vocals turned out to be Slide from Cass & Slide...and he came to Ministry of Sound next week when I was playing there and he told me listen Markus this sounds absolutely outrageous you have to release this so it was really one of those things where it started of as something that I just wanted to make for my deejay sets and it turned into what it is now which is the next single, and the one track on the album for which people are just going absolutely crazy for it. When you have a track that you want to produce does the vocalist automatically ring the bell in your head that you want to use this particular vocalist or do you try out different vocalists until you meet the perfect match for the track? Markus Schulz: It goes through stages, the first stage is the song writing stage, and I worked with many song writers who you know written many great songs but the vocalists isn't just right so we go out and try to find the right vocalist, of course that kind of stuff happens but to be honest with you the tracks that really come together are the ones that are effortless you don't have to search for the right vocalist, they just sometimes these tracks just piece together like a perfect puzzle like the whole thing with Justine Suissa you know, I'm a firm believer of what you put out there is what you get back and a lot of times when you just out there working on this album and you are really like focused in, things just seem to fall right into place and if you have to work really hard sometimes it just wasn't meant to be so if I'm working on a song with a vocalist and it just does not turn out right then sometimes you just kind of like okey! This is really pushing the rock uphill and its time to just kind of move on to another track. For this album I made about 30 tracks and we only released 16 of them. In front of the vocalists that tried out for the track initially and did not make it for the final release, do you feel in anyway uncomfortable in front of all those artists who had a hope that they would release something with you? Markus Schulz: Oh no, I totally communicate with the artist and at the same time when you are experimenting you have to have room to experiment because I don't want the pressure of having working with singers or other artists and having the pressure of having to release it and I'm very upfront with them right at the beginning, to me that's what makes this whole process of creating an album so much fun is the experimenting part and I think everybody going into the album projects all of the people I've collaborated with all understand that there are no promises its just lets go and create some music lets have fun and lets see where it takes us... What is the significance of the title 65.4 Hz on the "Do You Dream?" album? Markus Schulz: Its actually pretty simple. 65.4 Hz is the frequency of a C Minor key and the track when I first started working on it, I did not have a name for it I just called it C Minor because that's the key that the track was in, so I got stuck on the name C Minor and it was called C Minor for like over a year as I was working on it and then finally I was just like well ok so its going to be called something to with C Minor and the frequency of a C Minor is 65.4Hz its kind of a cool little thing geeky nerdy kind of thing I have to say that I find your entire album of high quality but the track that has stood out the most for me is "Surreal" with Ana Criado...` Markus Schulz: That's one of my favorite ones as well. I kind of went into that one wanting to...that you know is like to me a vintage progressive trance track...kind of what was going on in 2005 when James Holden was really huge with his tracks, that kind of takes me back to that era and its the one track that probably one of the most simplest tracks on the album but I worked for it for a really long time just to make sure it stayed simple and everything that's in there is kind of cut through. I'm really pleased with the way that turned out. You had the track "You Won't See Me Cry" years ago, who was the vocalist behind that track? Markus Schulz: The vocalist of that was Deirdre Radford, she was in a band called Sipping Soma and she does not sing anymore unfortunately but she just had an amazing voice I loved all the stuff that I was able to work on with her back in the day. "You Won't See Me Cry" was one of those tracks that was a spur of the moment and it was a really great moment in time and like I said unfortunately she does not sing anymore. You are scheduled to play at the Electric Zoo Festival in New York, obviously when you play at a festival its different compared to when you play at a club event, so how do you adjust for a large scale festival versus a night club event? What adjustments do you have to make as a deejay? The one thing about a festival is you have to be prepared and you are not able to improvise quite as much as you can in a club because in a club you kind of feel out the crowd and if you read the crowd wrong you can adjust and kind of change the vibe in the room where as in a festival when you have a 90 minute set for example there is no time to read the crowd wrong if you read the crowd wrong it pretty much derrails your entire set so I think with the festival sets I'm a little bit more hyper focused on what I'm going to be playing. Also all the tracks, I have special festival edits where it gets to a point much quicker because unlike in a club where you can play a track and let it really develop nicely with subtle nuances, in a festival those kind of sounds don't cut through so you have to get right to the main hoop lines. I've been playing festivals for about 5 or 6 years and I think that was the biggest step for me in my deejay career was learning how to play festival sets because my whole life I was playing in clubs where you really just kind of like took people on a journey where you let sounds really develop and that was my whole music theory was nuances the subtle nuances but like I said in a festival you just can't do that. It was a big learning curve for me. As a native of Miami and one of the few American trance/progressive DJ's what North American city do you feel you get your biggest reception in? Markus Schulz: The big cities are the ones that really rocking for me. New York City of course, Chicago is massive, LA, San Francisco, these are cities where there are some amazing fans very passionate fans but you know its not just in the United States but also in Toronto and Montreal those cities are just amazing as well and I think the cool thing about the trance scene in the United States is that the trance fans travel, when I play in San Francisco for example people from Los Angeles come up, when I play in Las Vegas people from San Francisco, Los Angeles, San Diego, Arizona, they all travel and likewise when I play in New York or Toronto or even Montreal people come from the whole region to hear me and I think that's whats so awesome and really unique about the trance scene not just in the United States but in North America the fact that they travel its almost like the old days when everyone follows you on tour How would you say was instrumental your Global DJ Broadcast radio show to your success as a deejay? Markus Schulz: Its very important for me because I don't have a residency, I don't play in one area or one region and its important for me to kind of get my sound out to the world and its amazing because with my radio show I am able to play a track and then travel to Australia or China or travel to Europe and the people are singing the words or they are requesting these tracks you know after I've just day viewed them just on the radio show and it just goes to show you the power of music and also the power of the Internet and the power of radio when you can play a track and then it travels all the way around the world that quickly. Speaking of the Internet, and since you are the founder of an Armada sub-label Coldharbour Recordings, do you think CD releases will continue or music will eventually be totally in digital downloads only? Markus Schulz: I'm a vinyl guy. I love vinyl. I miss vinyl. There is something magical about watching that record spin around and looking at the grooves and knowing when the breakdown is coming by looking and reading the grooves. I'm a purist. As far as the business side of it, CD's and downloads and things like that I'm just very fortunate that I have an amazing team at Armada that handles all of that and makes really good decisions and is also the leader in the world as far as dance music and on-line as well physical CD's. The Coldharbour Selections that your label releases is filled with only 2 or 3 tracks, what is the logic behind the limited track selection on these releases? Markus Schulz: What I do is I find 3 tracks from 3 up and coming producers that maybe don't have a fan base but these tracks are really great and deserve to be heard and a lot of times these tracks you don't want to spend the time in putting together remix packages so I package up three tracks like this and put them all out together so its kind of like power in putting three together than just holding off and spending month upon month creating remixes of these tracks when some of these tracks just deserve to be heard as is. I work with these artists to get these tracks where they are, the Coldharbour Selection parts are mostly from up and coming guys who need a platform to be heard. How would you say your sound has evolved since you first started as a DJ and after achieving so much as an artist? Markus Schulz: The biggest thing for me is when I started playing festival sets. My sound started changing. My sound started getting really more aggressive more big room sounds and that's really where I'm headed and as you could tell from the "Do You Dream?" album the big rooms are a specific sound that I really enjoy playing whether its a big room festival or a big room club. How do you handle the travel of your vigorous booking schedule? Markus Schulz: Its definitely a delicate balance. it is very very hard, people don't realize how brutal it is out on the road but I try and rest up as much as possible I try not to party too much and I try to stay physically active whether it be doing some Yoga or going to the gym, on my days off I love to play basketball and things like that and in January I usually try to take some time off.

Just turntables, mixers, stylus and headphones
