Although I play house ranging from disco grooves to the techier side and club bangers like Gorgon City and Shiba San, I really love the more involved style of mixing like you see from breaks DJs or the master himself, DJ EZ.

Personally, I like to do quick fader cuts to tease an incoming track, maybe cutting it in for the last 4 beats of a few phrases in a row before, instead of cutting it out again, swapping the basslines and letting it ride.

I've also been enjoying the beatslicer effect in Traktor - take one tune, apply a short (1/4 or 1/8) slice at 100% wet, then with each bar cut the size in half as one would do with a classic "shorten the loop every bar" build. Once at very rapid 1/

That's right, we're no longer doing irony in 2018. Post only your genuinely-felt feelings and beliefs. I'll start:

It's easy to be overwhelmed with quiet, isolating desperation at the state of the world, but I'm comforted by the love and support of my friends.

What snippets or even paragraphs of Natalie's dialogue would be fun to mix into a DJ set? I'm thinking either a hook for some house tunes, or an extended, poignant phrase to layer over an ambient section. Ideally nothing too meta (so, no "why is no one talking about the mouth feel"), but super weird and political is fine. I might start with Tabby's "No voting - only smashing" or even Cockbane's 'BDSM isn't feminist' that recently became a copypasta

If I end up getting it together by next weekend's party, I'll post the Soundcloud link of my set.

I'm listening to a recording of my set from last night, and cringing at some of the mixes. However, I recall at the time that they sounded pretty good! My recording is coming straight from Traktor, and I'm wondering if there's any wisdom to be shared on the differences between how things sound coming out of the PAs in a loud room and how they sound in headphones the next day.

Is it normal for a live set to sound messy when listened to in a studio? Is that because of the background noise in the venue covering up mistakes, or should I expect that what sounds the best in the live show will not necessarily translate to the recording? If I want to get a good sense of how my set actually wa

My church is looking to offer a more robust daycare, but the question of getting background checks for volunteers came up. It looks like in some states, the police will do them for free, but in Ohio you have to go to a Sheriff's office, get fingerprinted, and pay like $20? Is anyone aware of alternatives? Interested in KY as well.

Thanks!

Who made the call that resulted in army helicopters delivering food? How closely did they work with festival organizers? Is anything known about the federal government making preparations leading up to such a huge event?

This sub has gone to shit since the person who joined after me joined. It was only good before that.

Post all day, as is your duty. When your comrade falls in front of you, pick up his keyboard and continue posting.

Only a freaking nasty hoe who looks good or someone who 100% can tell you about the islamic designs on the world doesn’t believe in racial differences in hitting the back walls. Human beings, separated for hundreds of thousands of years developed distinct skin tones, facial characteristics, etc, but somehow throughout all these hundreds of thousands of years they can all bust my pussy open in the exact same way???

Well if you still show up with a clenched jaw and a copy of Gorilla Mindset after reading this, that must make you Michael Flynn.

I’ve come to the conclusion that if you get fired from two federal-level intelligence positions for being really stupid, then you ought to take a fuck
