what if you have the time and passion to learn to mix, but dont have the money for decks? i love mixing and avoid the sync button, and im not doing it to get paid or anything. plus i see having a larger bass of music which i own alot more easier to mix with, then going out and having to buy all of my songs again on vynil.
im wanting to invest in some decks in the future maybe but its way too much for me at the moment.
plus i think a mix isnt just about the beatmatching, its where the mix goes and how it developes. what you said may not have been a jab at cdjs but i feel alot of people dont regard cdjs as real mixing equiptment

Yeah my mate helps promote a night in Southend and they have Joker and Inspector Dubplate playing the same night. From what im told I.D. is still pretty reasonable to book money wise, so you use him to get a crowd then have a really decent headliner......and maybe educate a few heads too!HRKRT wrote:LOL i know.crackf wrote:HRKRT wrote:

i wish there were as many people grooving to Ramadanman as there were to Cookie Monsta but hey what can you do.
I was very sceptical at first, but on reflection it enabled us to book Ramadanman when we probably would not have otherwise been able to.
Now im a bit more involved im hoping to do more like this in the future eg get Inspector Dubplate to pull the crowds and then get a headliner i really admire.
Not sure why anyone needs to be educated. A lot of us choose to listen to the filthier stuff. Sounds like your friend has a night of balanced sounds in my opinion. Joker smashes it live, as does ID, should be a good show for anyone attending, and the two headliners won't be playing the same tunes/styles.LA_Boxers wrote: Yeah my mate helps promote a night in Southend and they have Joker and Inspector Dubplate playing the same night.

i think boxers means educate people in filth, inspector dubplate wouldnt be educating people in anything elsepkay wrote:Not sure why anyone needs to be educated.

It's a shame though I wanna hear a DJ play stuff I have never heard before not the same shit I heard a thousand times before (obviously a few classics is great!)BLAHBLAHJAH wrote:Seems perhaps silly to take any DJ too seriously, after all, they're just a vector for delivering other people's vibes.

Hail the producers!
This is true, however some people may need to be educated to the fact that there is other styles of dubstep. I started out just listening to dirty filthy tunes, then went to a Croydub and came across people like ramadanman, kryptic minds etc and realised there is something more out there.pkay wrote:Not sure why anyone needs to be educated.

Yeah I don't get the fuss over how people play out tunes sometimes. I've got a lot of respect for anyone doing it all vinyl- i certainly haven't got that talent- but if I make tunes and want to share the music I like with people why can't I use a program with a sync button on it?BLAHBLAHJAH wrote:Seems perhaps silly to take any DJ too seriously, after all, they're just a vector for delivering other people's vibes.

A filth DJ using a sync button is much, much worse.I'm not sure which is worse, a filth dj using a synch button, or a roots dubstep dj who barely even mixes tracks and just slams them together and pulls back the outgoing track.
other then the type of music being played, why?Mutiny wrote:A filth DJ using a sync button is much, much worse.I'm not sure which is worse, a filth dj using a synch button, or a roots dubstep dj who barely even mixes tracks and just slams them together and pulls back the outgoing track.
He ripped tunes off of peoples myspaces and put them in mixes.pkay wrote:Cillit Bang wrote:who the fuck is tomba.
and people are only buying into inspector dubplate (promoters) because of his facebook following.
Same as that guy who owns UKF Dubstep on YouTube who is apparently going to release an album through the same people as ours :\
Inspector is a chill dude, and provides a legit service to a lot of labels. He's not downloading tunes and slapping em on youtube. He has a relationship with all the labels he promotes. I for one appreciate the fact that when I'm ready to debut a Dubsaw tune to the world, I can hit Inspector up with a clip and within hours will have the feedback our label is looking for regarding a tune and also have a fair amount of consumers awaiting the release of our tunes.
When it comes to the dirtier side of dubstep, he's got access to some of the biggest tunes of the moment 24/7, which as a DJ can do wonders for how in demand you are.
and fyi he can legitly dj.
For every youtube educated retard theres just as many ignorant 19 year old know it alls who came up hearing Mala is a god and filth is shit, who have honestly never explored the music for themselves.LA_Boxers wrote:This is true, however some people may need to be educated to the fact that there is other styles of dubstep.

Not saying listening to filth is wrong and for the un-educated...as i pretty much play just filth myself. Just most of the Inspector Dubplate fans may not know about the other aspects as majority of them are just you-tube listeners.

Theres a ton of yawn bullshit filth out there. I get sent dozens of shit tracks a day that get sent to the recycle bin in a hurry. But there's equal amounts of horse shit classic dustep. Scores of producers trying to ride the nuts of the heavy hitters and falling miserably short.
Point being good music on both sides of the isle. If you arent exposing yourselves to both sides (and music outside of dubstep) you're cheating yourself.

Also worth noting that not everyone feels the need to zip up in the lifestyle a simple genre of music can offer. If I got some dickhead beard stroking fart trying to lecture me about 'real gabba music' at a gabba night I'd just laugh, say 'yeah whatever man' and keep on grinding
