Vincent Inc an acht Plattenspielern

Wir sehen Vincent Inc an nicht weniger als acht Plattenspielern gleichzeitig. Und ja, so werden die Dinger fast zu Instrumenten im herkömmlichen Sinne. Ob er auch tatsächlich das tut, was er vorgibt, weiß nur er selber, aber ich möchte das jetzt einfach mal glauben.

Das Prinzip des Beatmatchings am Beispiel einer roten Ampel, an der zwei Autos warten, gif’d

Wenn mich wer wegen des Mixings fragt, wie das so geht, welche Quintessenz da drin steckt und was genau diese Synchronisation sein soll, antworte ich gerne, dass man sich das mit einem Auto vorstellen kann, das vor einem an der roten Ampel steht und blinkt. Und wenn das Klackern des eigenen Blinkers synchron mit dem optischen Signal des vor einem Wartenden ist, hast du genau diesen Moment, um den es beim Mixing geht. Synchronität – that’s all.

Und nichts fasst diesen Moment besser zusammen, als dieses GIF. Und das auch noch ganz ohne Sound. Satisfying as fuck. Wirklich.

Dokumentation über die Realitäten des DJ-Lebens: Why We DJ – Slaves To The Rhythm

40-minütige Dokumentation von DJsounds, die sich dem DJ-Leben widmet. Dabei werden erfrischend aufrichtige Interviews mit Managern, Psychologen, Musikfachleuten und DJs gezeigt. Mit dabei: Carl Cox, Luciano, Seth Troxler, Erick Morillo, B.Traits, Ben Pearce und Pete Tong.

In a revealing new documentary investigating the reality of what being a professional DJ is really like, from the hype and parties to relentless touring and the toll that can take on both physical and mental health.

Following the success of last year’s ‘The Underground Sound of Paris’, ‘Why We DJ – Slaves To The Rhythm’ delves deep into the psyche of the DJ, exploring the motivations that drive people to pursue a career behind the decks in the first place and the effects it can have.

In refreshingly candid interviews from artist managers, tour managers, Psychologists, music industry professionals and DJs including Carl Cox, Luciano, Seth Troxler, Erick Morillo, B.Traits, Ben Pearce and Pete Tong MBE we hear stories of the lofty highs and plunging lows DJs can experience on a daily basis.

‘Why We DJ – Slaves To The Rhythm’ provides an honest look at the lives of professional DJs from the point of view of the people subjected to a heavy schedule of travel, sleep deprivation and creative pressure, whilst constantly under the social media spotlight.

For the first time, the film examines how DJs can suffer from conditions such as imposter syndrome, opening up the discussion about the sometimes-dark places artists can easily find themselves in when they’re off stage.

Fisher Price Plattenspieler wird zum tragbaren DJ-Deck

Daniel Barassi aus LA hat aus den alten Fisher Price Plattenspielern, die einige vielleicht noch aus ihrer Kindheit kennen, DJ-Decks gebaut, die im Grunde all das können, was man als Schallplattenunterhalter so braucht: Fishure-Price.

After some trial and error, I managed to fit a Shure M44-7 „DJ“ cartridge into the tonearm. Wired as proper stereo, the signal goes to four switches. In one position, the switches send the stereo signal to the newly installed RCA jacks in the back. In the other position, the signal is routed – in mono – to a battery operated mini-amplifier. More specifically, the circuit board from a mini-amplifier, which I mounted to the inside of the Fishure-Price.

From there, the mini-amplifier output can travel to either the stock mono speaker, or to a newly installed mono headphone jack.

I bypassed the original power button (located under the tonearm), and moved it to a cluster of switches I installed across from the speed control. From left to right, they are „turntable power“, „mini-amplifier power“ (so I could turn off the 9 volt battery of the mini-amp), and the „speaker / headphones“ toggle (for quiet digging while using the deck in record stores, monitoring for when I DJ without a mixer, et cetera).

Another huge feature, other than the stereo out (for both hookup to proper stereo systems, as well as for using the Fishure-Price decks with Serato Scratch Live), is the conversion of the original large volume control (next to the speed selector) into a proper pitch control (+/- 6%, according to Scratch Live). A special shout out to Gustav for giving me the idea of the pitch control.

When I first made the decks, Serato didn’t have 7″ control vinyl. Luckily, A-Trak released his latest (at the time) 7″ single with a Serato tone on the b-side! I actually prefer the A-Trak discs, not only for the clear vinyl (so you can see the custom Fishure-Price slipmats), but also because they spin at 45rpm. The „proper“ Serato 7″ control discs run at 33rpm (boo!).
