This just popped up on a YouTube mix for me. Haven't heard this in years. Anyone remember this seminal advert for the 303? @Raoul, thinking you might...

It’s an old classic. The Josh Wink version which came out in the mid 90s was the best imo.

Edit. I think this is that version.

If its the acid tweaking funk mix of the track that's the classic. Saw him playing it at a rave in the 90s and it blew up. Total legendary track
The remix that moved the most bodies was that one.

There was apparently a white press of a deep house remix of HSOC circa 1997. Been searching for it over the past couple of days to no avail.

Anyone still on vinyl? Are 1200/1210s worth it? Thinking about upgrading, but the prices are pretty crazy.

I bought Pioneers PLX1000s and to me they're as good as 1210s and you save a few hundred. I didn't want or need the bells and whistles of more digitally focussed decks. Have CDJs (well, Denons) for that.
I have PLX500s, I have read a few things online warning against PLX1000s, what made you go with those over Reloop RP 7000s?

Before the Denons I had Pioneers CDJs so went with Pioneer, and I also had a pair of the lowest level direct drive Reloops for a while whilst I thought I didn't want vinyl any more (name escapes me) and didn't like them, but I can't speak for the 7000. I've had no issues with the decks at all, but have seen negatives posted online too (some moaning about internal quality and a video review where he had feedback loop issues at very loud volumes), although that hasn't affected me.

I also haven't used any of the recent 1210s, my comparison was based on decks 15-20 years ago and the Pioneers fit the bill for me. I didn't really play vinyl for a few years so missed a lot, and I'm happy with the purchase with one caveat: I'd prefer a physical stop at 0% even if it was just for feel and didn't actually do anything, that's my only real negative - is it the same on the 500s?

That's strange, as there is a stop at 0% on the PLX500s! I would be buying old 12xxs alright, mk2 most likely. The more I read about them the more I wonder if it's worth it though, the price of replacement parts seems to have gone through the roof in the last 5 years, since they stopped making stuff. They are iconic though :drool:

Well that's unfair, but it's the same on SC6000s too: no stop. I suppose the rationale on the decks is because you can set 0 anywhere, it doesn't need it per se. And obviously on the CD decks, there's a big effing screen that shows everything you need to cheat mix.

I hear you on the Technics. I was a bit gutted about my Mk2s: When I emigrated, I left them with a mate (I travelled very light and didn't think I'd want them) and they've long since been got rid of. They were battered, but worked perfectly.

Anyone use the Mixcloud app? If so, has it been total shit for you recently as well even after reinstalling it?

Yep. It's the only place I can listen to old Rabbit in the Moon & Dubtribe sets & it is maddening everytime it shits the bed.
Generally I listen in the car, so when it randomly stops, I'm then not watching the road while trying to get the fecking thing started again. Not sure what they've done, but if there were a good rival service, I'd be looking at that now

This popped into my feed yesterday, it’s absolutely beautiful (except for the damn incessant ads)…

Stumbled upon this YT page the other day…

https://youtube.com/@MixtapeMagic

Been quite impressed with the quality & artists, mainly American & somewhat concentrated on the left coast with collectives like Om & Funky Techno Tribe. Genres include house (multiple types), drum & bass / jungle, electro, breaks, & down tempo / ambient.

Worth a gander.

Great channel! I actually know that guy from back in the day. He's a cool person.

This is one of my friends mix, it's pretty good and the amount of work he puts into these just for his own pleasure is actually insane!

Really liked that mix. You could tell loads of thought had gone into the tune selection
I'll let him know,

I know he spends hours coming up with the tune selections, he was going on about how he has been working out the key of each track as well.
Got to commend DJs who put that much effort in.

Speaking of Pete Tong, I finally found this Scott Hardkiss gem. Not the best quality, but it encapsulates the multi-faceted house scene in the mid 90s very well. Taken from us far too early. RIP...

Oh god, Sasha - Direct Me and BT's version of Not Over Yet in three tunes? I'm all for it! Absolute piece of me from the 90s
