the 700mb torrent is legit.

insanity. loudness. overuse of kaoss pad & sampler. Bob Rifo flapping his arms around madly. Songs/remixes you've heard 1000+ times but wouldn't mind hearing again. More energy than 90% of dj duos out there. A crazy show.

palmsout.com has had a feature called remix sunday for awhile where they post like 20 remixes every sunday, and there are a lot of big songs there too.

...you're going to be the raddest dj.

when it came down to it, the music was just one small part of the alive 2007 experience. Standing in a crowd of 50,000 people at Lollapalooza, all experiencing the same feelings as you simultaneously was more than enough to make the night memorable. Top that with perfectly sequenced music and light show and well... you have the greatest show that's ever toured. And in so far as the setlist, Thomas mentioned that the tour was meant to function within a theatrical aspect, in that they had a specific script to follow, but were allowed to add their own touches and embellishments where they felt it fit.expected or not, you had to be crazy to leave that show feeling anything less than euphoric.

it is traktor 3

impressive.

laptop.

shmaptop.

it doesn't really matter.

i was under a similar impression for a while... but it's really a moot point. The homie Preston from Kissatlanta runs the biggest nights in Atlanta and has been using Traktor since it first dropped.

this is my setup, shit photo;

edit* yes. a dell.

fake blood is Touché, aka theo keating, 1/2 of the black ghosts. 100% confirmed.

he is also fucking awesome. he posts on the erol board, and explained that in his remixes he creates the "fake blood" that is said in each of his remixes by rearranging and chopping up the vowels and consonants of the acapella. no one actually spoke "fake blood" for him in any remix he's made. fuckin mindblowing if you listen to his little boots remix.

yeah but i dunno if you can really take a board post with a name 'fake blood' as really him. even if erol posts.

yeah i'm debating seeing diplo/boy8bit/telepath/abe vigoda on the new mad decent tour.

if not for the fact the lineup is fucking wierd.

Finishing up The Boat by Nam Le.A collection of short stories, his first published work. nothing short of incredible. Really spare prose and delicate word choice... loving it.

been on the fence about El-p since the co flow days... but listening to this again...ahead of it's time.

New Justice track that was in the Dior mix...'planisphere'

the best one was the designer drugs remix

i thought they all sucked

Just requested : Ben

On another note has anyone any advice or tutorials for Ableton on how to achieve the 'whamp whamp / wobbly' bass sound heavily used in fidget and dubstep?

Example - HERE (bass starts at around 1:10-1:30)

My guess is slaving over the envelopes?

Basically.

You can do it easily in any matrix based vst. Albino 3 is the easiest, and is the most overused preset wise.

Just slave Cutoff 1 to LFO 1, etc.

the next month in chicago is going to be beautiful...

danger, deadmau5, boy8bit/diplo/abe vigoda (lineup??), modselektor, frankie chan & toxic avenger, does it offend you yeah, holy fuck, cut copy & the presets

keagan u have any experience with this?

shit's HEAVY

arturia's moog modular is best. nothing's as good as the real thing.

this is great.

on the french note...

is there a hq mp3 of the infamous daft punk set at the milwaukee rave they played in 97 or whenever? the one from the jacket photo in Homework/video's on youtube.

Getting the whole Roule catalog has just made my weekend that much better.

Whores.

I should buy more authentic japanese knives. I just keep buying globals. Their santokus are so well balanced though

I never really got into Globals, although I do admire their design if not just from a cleanliness standpoint. I prefer carbon steel knives just because they require more care than most cut-and-forget stainless knives, and you get out of them exactly what you put into them.

As far as authentic Japanese knives go, japanwoodworker.com is a great place to start. They carry some really nice knives at affordable prices, mostly small lot producers, so you know you're getting something that alot of time & effort was invested in. I use my Fujiwara Nakiri the most of all my knives, and it cost me 70 bucks.

Korin.com is on the high end, and they get alot of knives produced especially for them by some incredible smiths.

if they didn't sound like The Band now...

how much i want where?

From Korin, 180$ something.

should have bought a proper Yanagi knife..

It was gift, and it's not a Yanagi knife, it's a Sujihiki, a multi-purpose slicer.

left handed eh?

did they have buckets of steam too?

Heh. Traditional Japanese knives are sharpened on one side, verses 'western style' with a double bevel. This not only allows the knives to be sharper than conventional western style knives but ensures the blades integrity over long periods of use and repeated sharpening. In addition, the nature of the single bevel and a properly made knife assures that over time your knife can become significantly sharper than it was originally. A left handed knife just means the blade is sharpened on the opposite side, to accomodate cutting in the opposite direction.

seeing crystal castles open for metric was borderline humorous.

confusion.
