Dynamite Discos

Not DJd there but have stayed there for a long weekend - beautiful place! (afraid i'm no more help than that)

It means the company has had a pretty coulourful history what with switching between public/private, UK/international and having been liquidated (more than once?)...not the most impressive looking filing.

41%...not SO outrageous

I think that's cheating!! tongue out icon

One more vote for Madonna - i remember being astounded when i realised that not one of her singles was on any of the now albums in my collection!! I can't think of any more recent artists though that i have actually noticed aren't on any of the albums

I know exactly the song you mean...unfortunately i can't think of the name and therefore see no way of helping you out!! I'll have a bash on the piano when i get a minute and see if i can remember the notes for ya!

I've been out of the game for a while now and unfortunately the name of the original(?) site escapes me but i am 100% certain i've seen the photo on his homepage before (i'm pretty sure i've seen it on more than one other site) Unless he (and i suspect this is not the case) is indeed the original DJ to take that photo i expect it's not just these legailties on his website that are fraudulant!! (of course this is just my humble opinon) UPDATE... It's just come to me in a flash of inspiration (pretty good bit of memory going on there!) -*** NAME REMOVED BY CO - ADMIN:ce

I agree with the above - 90 degree XLR plugs are the way forward

Technically...put the name into this search tool from companies house. If it doesn't come up you're allowed to use it. http://wck2.companieshouse.gov.uk/fdd4374d...cessCompanyInfo More realistically (assuming you are not going for nationwide coverage) - look in your thompson local / Yellow pages. If it's there then i wouldn't advise using it (although perfectly legal), if not then go for it.

A whole new drawer unit of the CDMix is only around £40, and that's pretty much your worst case scenario. I had a simialr problem with one of my numark players for a while - you had to rap the front of the drawer for it to open for the first few times after you turned it on. Problem eventually went away on its own!

I've done a couple of gigs there but never in a marquee. All the staff etc have always seemed plesant enough though and it's a nice place. Sorry not to be more helpful!!

Most likely to be the driver although before buying a new one i would just check that all the fittings are sealing correctly. I had a similar farting problem once and it was air escaping around the speakon socket which had come loose! Hopefully it may be something cheaper than the driver! (unless i'm too late in which case i hope it was the driver after all!)

This thread has made me chuckle! I have literally never clocked onto the fact that when i'm setting up and i connect hte "right" speaker to the right side of the amp i'm behind the setup and i am infact "transposing" as you so eloquently put it (or failing to transpose - it has been a long day in the lab!!! But i guess you're absolutely right! Not that i think it would make much difference but hey ho! There you go...unobservent me!

Good shout - i did a gig just before christmas for this age group and i think i ended up playing pretty much the whole album due to all the requests coming in!! Made the gig an hour easier anyway!!

Just wanted to follow this up.......do you go to every venue before the night to see what it's like? (that's a genuine question not a challenge!) My opinion (and feel free to ignore it) is that this, although in an ideal world may give you slight benifits of having seen the room etc, it pretty impractical and i can't really see the point - surely one of the skills of a mobile DJ is the ability to adapt to any space you're given wether it be a big stage or a corner of someone's sitting room! It would also be impractical in this instance seeing that he mentioned that the gig was 2 hours aw

seems like a nice bloke - Crowd look like they're having fun - testemant to the fact that you don't need the best equipment money can buy to get the guests on teh dancefloor!! Good idea - perhaps people on here who have video cameras could do similar of some of their gigs - would be fun to watch!!

I know this is bending (perhaps appropriate choice of words ;)) the rules a little but if you desire both a wash and effects from just the one stand then you could put two effects (twisters or whatever) pointing at the dancefloor hanging below the t-bar and have two par cans or led cans on the top of the t-bar (i guess this would probably only work on powerdrive style "flat" tbars). Most stands should probably be able to support this (with parcans anyway!)

The only thing i have noticed with a CD mix 2 i occasionally use at uni is that there is a significant delay between pressing play and the disc actually starting from the cue point. Not sure if this is just the one i've been using but makes mixing very annoying!!.

Can run off one 13amp socket if absolutely necessary. That's 2.2K of sound and 4 250 watt lighting effects. Sometimes the only option. Amps are Switch mode though so don't use as much power i believe. Used to be a bit worried about doing this but have had to do it many times now and had no problems, nothing getting warm or anything. If given the choice it's one plug for lighting, one for sound though.

Of course. Something has to be in it for them. On the flip-side they can usually get you work on your otherwise free dates.

Sometimes at school discos etc if people are asking for slow songs i'll play one especially "for charlie from emily" or some other random names......great fun to see all the charlies/emilys running around to find out who likes them!!

What on earth am i going to play to the little blighters. Got some games sorted (bumps, chairs, pass the parcel etc), but just wanted some advice re: music. I need 3 hours worth of music....i've done ones for up to 2 hours but it's been literally about two years since i did any kids stuff. Wouldn't have taken it on only the people have been let down by someone last minute.....it's on saturday by the way!!! I was thinking along the lines of poppy stuff off recent now albums as well as things like Sclub, macarena, cha cha slide etc. Any advice? Thanks in advance! Stephen

QUOTE rom a womans point of view if you are going to go black tie you have to go the whole hog, Winged Collar for me. With reference to the "whole hog"....... Just incase anyone is interested the "lie flat" collar is actually the traditional collar for correct black tie dress. the wing collar was brought in as a substitute for the detachable white tie collars as an easier option. Nowadays it's perfectly acceptable to wear either collar with black tie dress. I find that the wing collars cause rubbing when DJing however due to constantly squishing your ear to your shoulder when liste

Just got BT broadband for my student house. Hub acts as modem/router for as many computers as you need. Plus free phone calls all the time! worth a look.

I think the only advantage of learning to mix using cds with tabletop players would be if you had already learned with record decks. If this were the case then the transition would be less noticable. However it sounds like you haven't so i wouldn't have thought it made a difference. I learnt to beatmix using a numark twin cd player and that did me fine!
