check it out, have a look through it.

Still though, it doesn't really appeal to me, because I want to do it all in my own individual style - that's what gets you noticed. Even when it comes to promotion etc, I still want to be individual.

fair enough, but maybe thats a good reason to buy the book, otherwise how do you know that your individualism isnt being touted elsewhere.

Not used books before just kind of learnt myself really using shit decks gradually getting better ones and messing about with mates. Perhaps this book could teach me a thing or 2????

No-one is going to be exactly like me though- I think thats quite a bizarre point! I wouldn't change what I do because of someone else doing it anyhow, for exactly the same reason that I wouldn't be interested in buying this book - other people don't influence my actions, I do my own thing.

im sure they do, i am influenced every second of my life, and so is everybody else in my opinion. every decision both you & i make is influenced by the past.

you must of been influenced by another person in some manner to purchase some dj equipment. in fact everything you have ever seen, touched, smelt, heard etc has contributed in some form to you purchasing that dj equipment.

**Voorheez** · 04-09-2003, 06:43 PM

Nope, the music did.

**eyes without a face** · 06-09-2003, 07:50 PM

i imagine it would be a good read but i dont believe that it could make u a better dj in any way. There is no substitute for just getting on your decks and slamming some records together

what i said was based on fact rather than opinion.

who makes that music? i know for sure that it doesnt make itself.

peoples thoughts, expieriences, and influences are put into music, thats what makes music. how can you beg to differ? to say you are not influenced by any people whatsoever is ridiculous! so you have never been influenced by any dj? or is it just the music again? djs play the records you hear dont they?

**Voorheez** · 07-09-2003, 12:17 PM

You're being pretty ambiguos and stretching it all a little m8 aren't you...!

I think you know what I meant - that other people don't make a difference in what I choose to do, they don't influence my ACTIONS - not that no-one in the world influences upon me or ever has done, of course they have - but when it comes to performing an action or making a decision I don't let the opinion of others form any part of my action/decision.

My new Cd will be here real soon, make sure you grab a copy from me then tell me if my mixing sounds like anyone elses' that you've ever heard.

Where did you get that quote from? I like it!

ok mate, i get what you mean, i am getting a little too deep. id like to think that others dont influence my actions either.

i cant wait to here your new cd voorheez

for one i havent heard much hardstyle, and i support innovation, i think its very important, and im glad you do too.

infact can you make sure i get a copy? (i know im bit of a cheeky bastard)

PS i didnt get that qoute from anywhere, im an individual!

:lol:

**Voorheez** · 07-09-2003, 07:48 PM

Yeah no worries m8. It's all ready to go, just gotta design the cover and get it all made and we're in business 8)

**Col** · 07-09-2003, 08:34 PM

nail on the head me thinks

bollox its impossible not to put your own stamp on soemthing.....so every guitarist that learnt from a chord book or instructional vid will sound the same?

once you learned beat matching all you can do is add your own style.

**Addict** · 25-04-2005, 09:10 AM

Jeez this post is old, WTF?

**Dave Elyzium** · 25-04-2005, 11:38 AM

oops didnt mean to drag this one up again hahaha should check my dates next time

**Agent 24** · 13-05-2005, 12:31 PM

It's a helpful book if, like me, you taught yourself to mix and want to check if you're doing the right things. I wish I'd got it years ago...

Rowland the Bastard and Chris Liberator made mixtapes that helped teach me to mix. Its a great way to learn....and you can do it from the best DJs there are!

**dan the acid man** · 31-05-2005, 11:59 AM

yes you can learn alot by listening to mixes, also watching other people mix is always helpful, i would say though, most dj's learnt how to mix by themselves, but reading a book maybe helpful to some
