simple as that. i can mix on technics or vestax although the vestax (to me) are like toy decks.

stop getting so much on the defensive bud, im no tryin 2 put u down, im just having a discussion with ya. so less of the '**** off' and so on eh...
:roll:

there's free parties and then there's a south east free party - i wont go into it, you will have had to have been to one to explain - please do come along to our next one mate, i'd really love for you to experience how we do things.....i still havent been to a legal party/event/club that comes close to the parties on my home stomping ground (that in includes the london scene aswell...)

i was only on the defensive as you were implying that i am amaturish and a bad DJ because i need a day's practice on decks that i compare with belt drives and then re-think an entire set/act/records_i've_played_for_the_last_3_years_at_any_sp eed_i_like due to not having the flexabilty to go above +10 (i hate when a DJ gets it wrong and has the slow the current record down as they have gone to far up the pitch!) well, that just go my back up so thought i'd throw a few obsenties in there as i was pissed off at that.

as i originally said, i dont want to get into the whole Vestax vs Technics thing, but all i will say is the large majority of vestax owners i know wont go near a pair of techics, like me, they prefer to pass the headphones.... where as, all the Technics owners i know have no qualms about mixing on Vestax, infact they love using them and wish they could trade in...
but like yourself, they fall for the club=technics and stick with the techincs.....

if it means missing a couple of gigs because of it, like i originally said, i dont care, least i know when i do play i'll be playing the way i want to play and so far, none of this has been an issue, but i am well aware it will be in the future.....
