Man has some skills. Back in the day when the music was good (imo) he was untouchable.

yeah he was pretty much maxing the levels out (a personal gripe and something that i've seen enough original DnB crew do that all should know better) - but the soundsystem was pretty weak. i couldn't tell whether it affected the sound though, or whether it was just all that supercompressed jump-up nonsense heheheh...

but yeah - cueing a tune for one bar then dropping it straight into the mix, double dropping every track (even double rewinding) - at one point he whipped a tune off the deck to reveal another one underneath, which he mixed in within about 10 seconds tops. i've never seen such quick, but tight, mixing. it was really inspiring!


(and he dropped my favourite tune ever - Scorpio 'Trouble'. result.)

lol i suppose the reason he can mix so quickly is coz he's at like 180+ most of the time!

i heard that nowadays he plays exactly the same sets quite often but that probably isn't true; there is alot of shit goin around e.g. ANDY C USES PRE-PITCHED RECORDS HONESTLY.

That makes no sense what so ever, if both your records are different bpms you always gotta beat match them regardless of the tempo... silly! :wink:

my brother saw mampi play a set in newquay, then saw him play the exact same set a few weeks later at westfest.
i don't have a problem with this personally - it shows that he's put some thought into his selection. i don't think a lot of crowd-reading goes on in the average dnb set, djs like mampi just play energetic jump up pretty much, so planning a set is a pretty good idea if you ask me.

yes it does.
the faster the tune is (in beats per minute) the faster it goes out of time, so the faster you can get it beatmatched.

hip hop (slow) is harder to mix than drum and bass (fast).
half time dubstep is harder to mix than pacey dubstep. (disco rekah - hard to mix, 26 basslines - easy to mix)

If I had 90bpm tune on 45rpm and another 90bpm tune at 45rpm but pitched +2% and hit them both off at the same time they would go out of sync in the exact same time length (Seconds) as two records at 180bpm on 45rpm but one pitched +2% would.

It may be generally harder to beat match Hip-Hop due to the placement of drum hits, and easier with dnb as most producers produce a very similarly structured break therefore making it more noticeable to the DJ when the tunes are out of sync.
