[VIDEO] Point G – a.k.a. DJ Gregory makes a track in 10mins

[wub]

This time, it's the turn of Point G - an alias of veteran French producer (and accidental UK Funky touchstone) DJ Gregory that was originally born in 1997, before being revisited last year. Since Point G's return, with 2012's 'Chicken Coma', he's enjoyed a successful run of self-released 12"s, and will be closing a vintage year with a live show at secretsundaze's New Year's Eve party. The bill for that also includes the mighty Levon Vincent, Shed, and residents James Priestley and Giles Smith.

Watch Point G go Against the Clock on his battered MPC above.

That robot head was ace. I have never tried or owned an MPC, so i have always found it strange how it can be used as a workstation.

Hey wub, what do you say we do something like this for dsf/p? A ten minute song contest, each entry is a youtube vid?

Nice idea, but it means it's only open to people who have a web cam of some sort?

Or digital cameras. Most consumer digital cameras have at least 720p recording, you just need a decent sized SD card. I would be interested in this. Would there be a rule of no editing to stop time cheating after you start the time or something like that?

[wub]

There will always be ways to 'cheat', but honestly I don't see the point in cheating in something like this. If the video is showing a continuous stream of the track with audio, it'll be pretty obvious if it suddenly jumps and gains new elements or something?

[rockonin]

Would we be allowed to implement some screen capture footage in there as well and have like a split screen so its running in sync with the camera footage etc?

[wub]

Don't see why not. Got no clue how to do that myself though

[nowaysj]

yeah, I was thinking at the least, if you're producing on a computer, you probably could screen cap.

I think it would be a fun exercise. And I bet that some of us could, after 10 minutes, producer something better than these nerds.

And yes, people will cheat. It's happening right now.

[m8son666]

im gonna pay a lookalike to ghost produce for me

[nowaysj]

Who would you pick though?
