  1. I'm...slightly confused about what you're talking about here House? LSD? A new sub-genre called "LSD House" (Acid House?) or what?
  2. Hmm, Gat Out Of Hell was definitely not worth the 20€ price tag. I don't really understand why they put all that effort into creating a city of that size, and then basically give you nothing to do besides shitloads of mayhem. And there's not even a thin excuse for a plot.
  3. Figures I still need to get The Witcher 3 and Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin some day, and I'm expecting them to be "a bit" more demanding than Skyrim (which, eventually wasn't really that difficult, but a good introductory smooth landing into this kind of RPGs) Too bad they're rather expensive on Steam. I don't really feel like paying 50+ euros for a game.
  4. Well I got a package with the Obscure Spectre single, Qlippoth and Demagoguery Of The Obscurants today
  5. Completed my Xenomorph CD collection today. Would be nice to get the Gnomes/Hexenkessel 12" but as I have no vinyl player it seems a bit unnecessary.
  6. That's...not really much if it's supposed to be HUGE. My both Skyrim "playthroughs" are over 400 hours each, and Fallout: New Vegas was over 200 hours.
  7. So I decided not to wait for a sale and got Saints Row: Gat Out Of Hell yesterday. Well, what can I say? It's SR, and it's mayhem
  8. Well it's the only good pic of me I have and it's kinda special to begin with. There's some serendipity to it.
  9. Why should it by definition create new ways to mix? It's just another tool to get the job done. Did the coming of CDJ:s create new ways to mix as opposed to vinyl? Yes, it's an honest question as I don't know. Well, ever since the internet came along you could download shitty mp3s and burn them to CDs and play those. OK, so you needed to buy some gear and blank CDs to actually play and mix them (not that you wouldn't need to buy at least a laptop nowadays to do the same thing). And anyone who plays pirated music and/or uses pirated software to play his gigs is an asshole.
  10. Seems my sarcasm didn't go through that well (edit: that was in response to Oopie's post)
  11. So I'm listening to the new Eat Static album and I was reminded of when I frst heard the Eat Static track "Epidemic". I misheard the sample as "are we dealing with an academic!?" and had a slight moment of WTF :DDDD Post yours.
  12. My sets from this year will be there, probably, in the next weeks or so. My 2012 set is on Mixcloud (Soundcloud took it down). https://www.mixcloud.com/pauleye/aikahattu/
  13. Completely irrelevant. A good DJ knows what he's doing regardless of the equipment he uses. Some people mix like shit on laptop+controller, some people mix like shit on CDs, some people mix like shit on vinyl, some people mix like shit on tapes. Some people mix well on any of these.
  14. Unless you've taken enough MDMA... Unfortunately.
  15. And just to expand a bit: I use a shitty cheap HP laptop from 2008 with Windows XP (handy for carrying your entire music collection with you, I've needed to change the hard drive a few times to fit all my music), djDecks 0.99 with a custom skin tailored by myself to my needs (it doesn't have a sync button per se, it has tempo detection and matching that works almost always), a custom mapped 1st edition Korg Nanokontrol MIDI controller with a few slightly wonky buttons (the all-important play-buttons for example...) and a Native Instruments Audio Kontrol 1 audio interface with 2 stereo outputs (yes, I need a traditional DJ mixer to actually mix my sets). I haven't had anyone complaining about this, just get the occasional weird look and question "what's that software you're using?"
  16. Why do you care? Sure, anyone can beatmatch 2 tracks with the sync button but it still takes some skills to actually mix something coherent. If someone's mixing on CDs or Vinyls, how does he actually do that if there's no sync button? I don't see how what equipment is used has anything to do with it (as long as you're actually doing something instead of pressing play on a perfectly executed pre-mixed set). A laptop and a sync button doesn't magically transform you into a number one DJ.
  17. Well I hope you didn't abandon all other music styles altogether
  18. Yes. Maybe to be released some day. And no, I won't upload them anywhere for people to hear (yet. Oopie's heard a couple of them though).
  19. Heheh, that Finn was me Well oops for forgetting Aavepyörä. Is Intriga really that active? I'm not exactly active as an artist you know, and my DJing has been a bit on/off for the past year. That track is over 16 years old. I made one in 2003 (the collab track on Sideffect that's not exactly goa) and haven't really made anything worthwhile since then.
