    My lass plays Garlands :rolleyes: :p

    Nah, I'd say the best feature of my DJing is tune selection, knowing when to drop what at the right time. I think :spangled:

    have you moved with technology ? making use of samplers/efx/CDJ's. do you think you can take your hobby to the next level ? are you the next James Zabelia ?

    I think it's no longer playing tunes end to end, let's be honest given practice your grandma could beat mix. Things have moved a long way, you have to move with the times. Talylor make your own sound, not just with tunes but making use of mixing tools, locked grooves, efx and the likes.

    I was in ibiza for over 4 weeks this year and spent a great deal watching DJ's close. watching 6 hour sets played on CD's only :eek: James Zabelia unplugging the mixer in space and setting up his own. Ritchie Hawtin playing on final scratch.....not much vinyl going about :p

    I was really taken back, I thought I had it sussed. I really know fuck all about the whole thing :( I'm a v-good DJ, but these boys could never play you the same set twice, they are improvising all the time looping/sampling creating as they go. that's how it's gonna be if your gonna make it.

    I think anyway

    I don't 'market' myself really. Don't want to come across with an image, I'm just a DJ.

    I think my tunes are what separates me from other boring House DJs though. I have the ability to make people dance to House music they've never heard before, rather than blasting out the latest Subliminal Sessions CD in a different order.

    A lot of my mates don't really know anybody else that plays my kinda House music, and in Newcastle, where the underground scene's small, that makes me unique :)

    Huh? :spangled:

    She played there 3 times. Once for Garlands, and twice for Kanya.

    She met some PR lass at Kanya once, and if you'd bothered to ask either of the residents (of which there are two), one being Rob, the other's name I can't remember, they'd know her.

    I can givey ou pictures of her playing Kanya if you like? :spangled:
