Mordaunt-Shorts = Tough Little Buggers!

I finally went ahead and bought some new speakers, and the sound quality is truly amazing. They are pumping out frequencies I didn't know existed, which is great for my dubstep collection.

I of course went to Richer Sounds to buy them, and recieved great customer service again. I told them what I wanted, and because the amplifier I would use with them had also been bought from them, it made things very easy.
The speakers aren't absolute top of the range, simply because I'm not prepared to spend that amount of money.
However, I haven't yet mentioned the most impressive attribute these speakers have,
they are tough.

I have speaker wall mounts, and to cut a long story short, one of my brand new speakers fell from its mount. The mounts are a good 5 feet up from the floor, and these speaker bashed my desk and then made friends with the floor.
Much to my amazement, the speaker works perfectly, and it's like nothing happened.
There was a hole in the woofer, which I have patched up myself, with chewing gum. [A decent tip]

A PLEA!

You may have noticed in my blogs I've been mentioning seeing Caspa & Rusko in Sheffield this weekend.

Well I've hit a snag. I have only just found out you need advanced tickets, and they are sold out.

Can anybody help me? Or are there any tickets on the door? Money is not an issue (within reason)

I need to find out ASAP to sort out travel.

Any form of help would be GREATLY appreciated.

The Way Live DJing evolves

I saw Rusko in Swansea on Saturday night. He was awesome, definitely killed the night and lived up to all the expectations I've come to have.
It was one of those nights where I knew every track he played, loved every second of it.

My one gripe is this. I don't like the way live DJing is evolving. As an aspiring DJ myself, I like to watch other DJ's and pick up skills and techniques from them. With all this new technology it's a lot more difficult to pick up what the DJ is actually doing.

I think it's the reason I like DMC so much. Vinyl records, two turntables, one mixer, sorted. You know where you are, and you can definitely appreciate the skill the DJ is putting on show.

Rusko was using CD decks, there were turntables there too, although I don't think he used them. His Vestax mixer had 8 channels. Now don't get me wrong, he's not there to be mixing records, he's more of a producer than anything else, but I just have an urge to want to know what he's actually doing. Whether it's all premixed, I just want to know how much he has under his own control.

I think it will be a real shame if vinyl mixing stops happening, I don't really believe in CD decks myself. I'm a battle DJ and it's always been vinyl. You have a much bigger area to work with, and you feel a lot more involved with the track.

I may be talking crap but it does make sense to me.

Will be seeing Caspa & Rusko at Sheffield next weekend, totally different affair. I will not get as close to see what equipment they are using. It will all be about volume and tunes.
