dj-ing at WAF on Monday

2 October 2005

I'll be laying on at the Wasserschlacht Armee Freidrichshain am Montag. (Oct 3, 2005 Berlin Rigaerstraße 77 ) Grime (like Terror Danjah, Jammer, Plasticman, D Double, Kano and such things), Ragga Jungle old (remarc!) and new (shitmat!) and the weirder from bashment. Possibly booty too, I'm feeling pleasantly crass.

I'm using Ableton Live now with full the MP3 support. You can really meld things together that otherwise could never be pulled off. DJ-ing finally gets completely merged with live sets ! I've been waiting for 10 years for that. I had a fine-tune bpm control added to my 909 so I could lock it to turntables easier. Then I would drag my Minimoog to raves and run the turntables through it. (and I remember the police busting a party just as I finished setting up with all my gear and turntables 40 feet up in the air on top of a huge farm tractor) Well let's thank laptops for some things but ... the fun and terror of dragging a beautiful 20 year old synth in a fine wood cabinet through a frozen swamp at 5 am... just can't simulate that on a laptop.

Mondays have been great down at the WAF. Lots of people bouncing around to breakcore, hip-hop, well-aged cheese and brilliant on the fly mash-ups by Christian (Society Suckers). One of the best completely fun and not too-cool things in Berlin.

    • pirates need to keep it on the D/L

      Soundcloud started issuing takedown notices to people posting unauthoried remixes and mixtapes.A few thoughts in response to the Ripley's post:http://djripley.blogspot.com/2010/12/walling-off-another-garden-is.htmlhave you all chosen and publicly displayed a CC license ?  http://creativecommons.org/choose/I need to do that too.If it was widespread then all artists would have this, it could be easily checked to ensure a mix is free to go.  Only artists on restrictive labels would get flagged.  Mixcloud could scan and ok the mix automatically.  All artists should have URLs where ...
