  1. Thursday - Club Residency 11 - 3am Friday - 18th in Wigan Saturday Afternoon - 2 Hour Kids Party in Carnforth Saturday night - 18th in Chorley Sunday Night - Wedding in Nottingham.
  2. Hey all, Just thought I would share my experiences with what happened at my gig tonight, booked to do an 18th 7 - 12 in Wigan, everyone came in playing some club tunes which they requested stuff like moto blanco of morning after dark, inna - hot, touch me - tina more (that sax song) everyone was having a good time. It was fancy dress and so had the usual banter about the attire and then they had the buffet. Later on I started playing all the requests from the birthday girl and her and her mates were dancing but no one else so I played some classics and had a full floor.
  3. Agree with what has been said, I think that the DJ needed to see the light in what he was doing a wedding and not an 18th. I run 2 Ohm RW5s, bit bulky but great sounding speakers and I still think sometimes I need a bit more bass for young peoples partied but not too over the top. I suppose it shows that money can buy you a nice rig, nice and compact and tidy and no matter on the size of your sound system it is down to the professionalism (if thats spelt right) of the DJ to judge what he function he is providing the entertainment for and his judgement should reflect in the way they act an
  4. Cheers for your replies, Im not a web designer im :crap: at designing and im not so good at writing. But I thought id try.
  5. I have built a new website done it from scratch and it is my first one: http://www.stephen-owens.co.uk Like to see what you think? Dont be too harsh!
  6. How do, Some of you know I work in radio I work for RockFM in Preston and bits and bobs for Radio 1, but it all started off in hospital radio. Now I still do this on a wednesday and me and two co presenters are looking to raise money for a new broadcast desk as running a studio off a 4 ch dj mixer isnt good. And so for this we are going to be doing 48 hours live on the radio thats a 2 day show and this will be broadcasted online aswell so everyone can have a listen. But to the crux of the post would anyone like to sponsor us? It is a good cause! If you would like to reply
  7. Make Luv - Room 5 ft. Oliver Cheatham
  8. Liking Dukesy's Post! Forgot about that one ! Follwing on from Robster: Horny - Mousse T
  9. I like to play tunes which people would like to dance to but it might not be a floor filler and you might not want to play it during the main part of the evening I mean foot tappers like : Who do you think you are - Spice Girls Baker Street - Undercover Karma Chameleon - Culture Club Dancing on the ceiling - Lionel Ritchie A night to remember - Shalamar MMbop - Hanson Wide variety I know but I hope you get the picture!
  10. Hey guys, I play this game in the car with my roadie and thought it might be good to do it on here it's like the music game but a bit different. I will name a tune to start off with and you have to add on with what songs were out around that time which you might have forgotten about or one which you would play with it at a disco: For example I might start off with: Get Ur Freak On - Missy Elliot and I would put Do you really like it - DJ Pied Piper and the MCs because it was out around the same time. The idea of it is like the playlists posts but to bring out tunes which peopl
  11. The Par Cans Im not too sure on the make I got them from the CRS1 Roadshow at NADJ AGM last year. But Cheers David!
  12. Hey guys, I have a slight problem. In my set up I have 8 fixtures and it looks like this: Dynamo | Datamoon | LED Par Can | Dynamo |Dynamo | LED Par Can | Datamoon | Dynamo Now the dynamos are linked up DMX through a CA8 controller I read the manual when I got them and they all work they are DMXed lovely lovely. Now is there a way I can link the 2 LED Cans together so they do the same thing without having to buy another controller just with a DMX Lead? If so what dip switches do I have to put down? And can I do the same with the datamoons bearing in mind the datas have
  13. If you go into my hard drive you will see lots of folders with common artists names: ABBA BEATLES CRAIG DAVID etc... But then in the same folder I have all my titles stored like: Numba 1 - Tinchy Stryder ft. N Dubz.mp3 Nude - Radiohead.mp3 Nuclear Attack - Gary Moore.mp3 Nu Flow - Big Brovas.mp3 Thats because I used to rename every track!! Which took ages but works well. But now I just have this system of about 8000 files and a folder of just albums with about 300 in it. But also I have: Fave Club Tunes and Bootlegs in this I have all the tunes in which I pl
  14. Hey im hosting one this saturday looky: www.project09.co.uk I have been lucky in the fact that I know the venue owner and he has given it me for free to see if it works. I know a lot of bouncers from Preston as I used to DJ round there and they are going to come and give me a hand. I work for RockFM and had the big media bus out for a day and had plugs on air. My mums a printer so I got all the flyers done for next to nothing. And I know a few celebs which will help promo it. I will let you all know how mine got on. Probably in a few weeks though as im jetting off to
  15. How do all! I feel privilaged that my brother has asked me to teach him how to DJ. And instead of showing him on a laptop I thought I would use CD players. But its only for home use and my old ones are crap and when Im djing now I only use the clubs ones. So wondering if any folk have any old duals or CDJs knocking about. Dont have to be flightcased or anything like if they are duals not looking to spend masses of money either like £50/£100 something like that? Let me know if you have any knocking around would prefer to pick up, Lancashire way! Cheers all. Ste

  20. It depends how ill if I drop dead then I think the party might have to be put on hold for a bit at least so they can throw me out so I dont put a downer on it. But apart from that yeah, he might have to have a boost to do some links but yeah should be able to manage it. Lets hope it doesnt happen!
