You ignorant close minded people. So disappointed. You admit you don't have an absolute clue, and then still proceed to slag them off. Absolutely perpetuating the fact that ANY random person you EVER speak to, ANYWHERE, will say, "I've never been and heard a mobile disco that was anything other than absolutely cheesy and awful". Seriously, go and ask a randomer now. Go on. Do it. /rant over

I think this is the crux to be honest. Don't sell up and pack up just because of that. In my experience, Sunday nights can be the worst for 'seasoned-drinking-idiots'. Another way of looking at it is the probability factor. You've only had this happen, to this serious a degree in x amount of years, it shouldn't happen again for x amount of years :)

Very much +1.

As far as I know, MP3Gain is the only program that does this losslessly (i.e. you dont have to re-encode again to mp3). It modifies the tags / header of the actual mp3. 89 is the standard, it's to do with dynamic range and distortion, at 89db, you get the full dynamic range with no distortion (something like that, I'm near enough :)). However, 89db is remarkably quiet - as found if you run MP3Gain over a lot of modern tracks - most commercial things nowadays are mastered awfully loud just so they "Catch your attention on the radio". They often turn up 100db+, all clipped as you like!

Actually, the quiet bit of the night at the beginning is always useful. Much as you promise yourself, you never get round to 'sorting' out your cd's during the week, and this is the time when all your tune's / kit's out, and you have time to 'organise' it all. Quite what falls under the umbrella of 'sorting' / 'organising', I'm not really sure, but I do know that you can faff and faff for hours and hours, and not be able to explain to the missus quite what you've been doing :)

Nah, I think that most people still prefer that kind of BIG BEEFY speaker type look. Dunno about the cathedral style stainedglass window white bits :) Although the originally posted set up is very neat, make sure you take a better picture for the website mind :)

Oh yeah, I just mean I've been going there a many few years now, and never heard any of the stuff that the adverts like to make out that you thought you heard :) Just get a few trance classics like I just mentioned at the cheesier end of the nights, like Armada and such :)

I actually did a short commercial drum n bass set recently, Brown Paper Bag is an excellent idea, along the same lines as Adam F - Circles (great crossover appeal). The Lighter - Sound of the Future Omni Trio - Renegade Snares Urban Shakedown - Some Justice Shy FX & T - Power - Don't Wanna Know / Shake Ur Body DJ Marky & XRS - LK Mind is quite blank today actually, one of those things as you rummage through the stuff you find you can play a few hours worth, but its hard to name in the office :)

Well, yeah, you guys have got the right idea for what they are asking for, they'll be happy with that. Its hilarious what people's opinion of what gets played in Ibiza is... There would be a riot if pretty much any of those tunes save for Cafe Del Mar, Greece 2000 or For An Angel got played. People go to Ibiza to get away from all this cheesy overplayed exaggerated stuff that they can get in any Luminar Leisure gaff around the country :)

I played it once in a pub, the Manager promptly came over and told me if I ever played it again that I'd be sacked. Good boss, precisely the right reaction :)

What about if half of the stuff you play are compilations you've made yourself (from legally bought cd's)? I have a fetish for things being in alphabetical order, for example....

Its a good shout, if you feel like that... Carrying on in that environment can be very soul destroying, in ways that you dont realise until after its finished oddly enough, especially if its a weekly slot

I've never really understood this. Whats the point?

That'll only happen to you once, you'll envisage a way to keep them out of harms way from now on...

Hi, joined this forum a while back for some idea's for music (I've recently taken on a cheese / RnB night), seems like a lot of sensible discussion goes on.. Meaning I'll visit reasonably regularly and hopefully have something useful to say :)
