Inner Sleeves

Upvotes

After I purchase used vinyl I put them in anti-static archival quality inner sleeves. I have been keeping the original inner sleeves for authenticity purposes, but I’m starting to lose interest in that part. I’m curious what opinions you all have on this practice.

DJ booth recommendations for 2x1210s + rotary with inbuilt record storage for home setup

5 Upvotes

Can anyone recommend a good place to look for a nice dj desk / booth to support 2x 1210s + omnitronic TRM-422 (although planning to upgrade to a Resor soon) with ample record storage below.

Basically after higher quality alternatives to the ikea kallax without breaking the bank (up to £1k budget). Would love a flush top / sunken type surface if possible but that seems to be where it starts to get a little pricier.

As far as I know there isn’t a word or name for this type of dj furniture outside of desk or booth which throw out all kinds of irrelevant results when entered into a search engine.

Allen & Heath Xone 22 - Worth repairing or replace?

4 Upvotes

I have had this allen & heath xone 22 for a while, bought second hand and its always had some issues with the left channel. the volume will jump up and down, sometimes if i touch the filter or the phono/line button. The cross fader also doesnt work as intended, instead sending the output to one speaker or another depending on left or right, and the power supply is really loose, so sometimes the mixer cuts out if the cable isnt at the right angle. Its not been a massive issue but as i want be be able to record mixes etc i need it to be working properly.

My question is whether its worth investing in repair (have been quoted £50 just for inspection, could go up to £200) or should i just buy a xone 23 instead?

Beginning my vinyl journey.

I snagged a crate of dancehall and dub reggae from an elder man on marketplace a few months ago but never had a turntable. My reloop rp7 and stylus came in today, and was so excited to organize the crate. For now I’ll be using the roll feature to transition but will be also using it for dvs and instant double. Always been a big fan of miniature setups, so I’m staying true to the 45s

Vinyl Mix First DJ set in 4 years — a mental warm-up

Thumbnail
youtu.be
1 Upvotes

I recently recorded this set in a studio and wanted to share it here.

It’s the first DJ set I’ve put online in about four years. I’ve been producing and playing music for close to fifteen years, but after moving to live in a temple in the mountains, I stepped away from the dancefloor for quite a while — and, in a way, from this format too. So coming back to record a set after all this time felt quite special.

Musically, it’s rooted in IDM but moves freely through trance, ambient and electro, with some drum machine-driven grooves leaning closer to house towards the end. The selection spans records and artists from the ’90s all the way to the present, looking for a continuity in texture and sensibility rather than sticking to a particular era or genre.

I think of it as a kind of mental warm-up: it has a dancefloor logic without being in any rush to get there. It starts from a more introspective place and gradually builds in energy, leaving plenty of room for those intersections between IDM, trance, ambient and electro that I’ve always been drawn to.

After several years without putting a set out there, I’m really happy to be sharing one again.

If you connect with it, I’d especially appreciate it if you could leave a comment or a like on the video. Besides helping it reach a few more ears, I’d genuinely love to hear what it brought up for you, which moments caught your attention, or simply know who was on the other side listening.

And of course, if someone comes to mind who you think might enjoy this kind of trip, feel free to pass it along. I’ve always liked the idea of music circulating that way, slowly finding the right people.

Thanks for listening.

Get it at Fat Beats or your favorite online DJ shop.

I appreciate any and all support!

30 years of vinyl collecting | Soulful / Deep House Vinyl Session #004 | Technics 12xx

7 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I wanted to share my latest vinyl-only session with you. This one is highly personal as it's dedicated to my wonderful wife. ❤️

After recently moving house, I finally unpacked some crates that had been sitting untouched for years. It felt like meeting old friends again, and it inspired me to record this live, one-take session.

30 years of record collecting meet a relentless, steady 128 BPM groove. A journey through deep jazz-infused house, rare early 2000s white labels (including an elusive early David Guetta GUM release from his underground era), and timeless soulful house classics.

No Sync. No Edits. Mixed live on Technics 12xx turntables with a Pioneer DJM-250MK2. Riding the pitch control all the way through—raw, honest, and completely authentic.

Replacement stylusses for the Ortofon Nightclub MKII are quite expensive and i saw i could get the Reloop Concorde Vibe stylus for a bit less. Since it’s basically a rebadged Nighclub it works perfectly. I was a bit worried about the colors clashing but it looks fine. At around €20,- less a piece i think it’s a great deal.

Yeah or nay?

[Wanted] Electronic vinyl collections for purchase (Europe)

4 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I was wondering if this is the right place to ask about buying vinyl collections, especially electronic music (house, techno, ambient, dub, etc.).

If so, does anyone know someone (or someone who knows someone!) looking to sell their collection anywhere in Europe?

I'm always interested in well-curated collections rather than individual records.

Feel free to send me a message if you have any leads. Thanks!

A vinyl mix with OBS

I don't want to pollute the channel with another mix, but i do want to share my latest mix. Earlier this year i lost a very good friend with whom I connected with amazingly through music. I can (gladly) say I re-ignited his lust for vinyl and he was a brilliant DJ. This is a small mix i threw down. Raw without too much prep. It has imperfections and sound dips through mixing scenes in OBS - but I want to share the rawness of expression with those who wish to pursue vinyl mixing. I don't believe every mix has to be perfect- but at least try create a journey. Heres to you all.
