Re: (313) Decent alternative to custom-fit earplugs

Re: (313) Karizma - Twist This
Karizma - Twist This (R2) I heard Karizma drop this a couple of months ago at Cargo. The place erupted. Then I found out what it was. It is apparently on R2 Records, though I can't see the details on their site. Check it out. It has the sickest build up and when it finally drops, I challenge you to not to start moving. Sweet bassline, great beats and some really really crisp production. I listened to it on the way to work this morning with the windows down and the sun rising and I tell you what - it felt like summer was here already. I like that track. Kinda 'big' for me but it's a simple idea (a good thing). Interesting little interview too of Karizma by Giles there too. (http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/aod/radio1_aod.shtml?radio1/peterson) In light of Toby's comments about Ableton and Surgeon yesterday they discuss the changing formats in dance music and the use of CD players. Karizma says he has to worry less about knackered needles and can plan ahead more with his mixes and 'flow' better and do madder things with digital. robin...

I think that both analogue and digital have their place. I don't see that it is necessary to chose one as being better than any other - not saying that you are, but it is an argument that continually comes up every now and then. The one thing that I feel quite strongly about though is the visual performance of mixing with vinyl. I really enjoy watching someone working the decks. That said, when I saw Karizma he was working the EQs like a nutter. It was great.

There's a place for all formats. As long as the 'dj' knows how to do the job then formats are neither here nor there. I've recently bought music digitally and not on vinyl and it feels like I've bought fast food rather than cooked a decent fresh meal when compared with my usual mountains of vinyl. I can't be bothered with a flame war before anyone tries btw. I just think things are changing and we need to acknowledge that along with any new possibilities that pop up as a consequence of that change. I'm up for a discussion though, but an argument - no. Anyway...as you were. :) robin...

I kinda feel the same way. I still love buying and playing vinyl, it's much more addictive than buying digital tracks having that new release in my hands. BUT, the problem is, I'm more and more loathe to take my vinyl anyplace besides my house. It gets ruined and scratched so fast, and I'm very poor and it seems like a real waste when I'm destroying records faster than I can play them. Plus my PA keeps getting better and more popular, so nobody around here really even wants me to play vinyl at this point. I just spin for fun at friends' apartments on off nights these days. ~David
FW: (313) What's happening with 'Miranda'?
Oooh yeah after you guys kindly gave me those distro details I got local enquiries underway and now my favourite shop will have it ..TOMORROW! And I didn't realise there's a choice of normal or coloured vinyl. I know many will say oh the X coloured vinyl sounds a bit poor. But I'm a sucker for it every time. New UR is in tomorrow too.

(313) Ulysses in LA this Friday
Hello 313 People, For those of you in the Los Angeles metropolitan area, I'm DJing as part of the Getty's Fridays on the 405 event. Come by, if you can bear the traffic, and help me put a face to a name. Maybe I can make the body attached to that face dance a bit, too. Here are the details: Friday March 16th 6pm-9pm 1200 Getty Center Drive http://www.getty.edu/visit/events/fridays_405_031607.html My buddy Jon Mendez - a.k.a. Jasper - will be playing with me. He used to record on Force Inc and ran his own pre-trend minimal techno label, Cytrax. He's an incredible DJ, so it should be a good time. Jon and I are not tall, so we never have a problem seeing eye-to-eye. ;) I'll also be playing Saturday Night at the Avalon Bar in Costa Mesa. If you can't make it to the Getty stop by there. XLR8R's Toph-1 is also DJing that night. e Scatalogics 205 15th Street #A7 Brooklyn, NY 11215 talent copies but genius steals www.scatalogics.com Out Now!
