looking for two more djs/mc

[Broken Home]

ok so here's the plan

four turntables
two mixers
one mic
one mpc

I already have two other ppl on board. we have all the equipment. I think we need two more bodies. looking for people who want to reach NEW HEIGHTS. :yikes:

if you're interested.... reply or pm.

i dunno?
mc's?

everyone hates mc's

[Broken Home]

not true... I mean maybe in the context of drum and bass and dance music. I guess I shouldn't have used the word "MC". I meant someone who can sing/rap intermittently, and not in a way that won't make "everybody" hate them.

What kind of time comitment are you looking for from people?

I'd be into this, and although my tablist skills are a little rusty at the moment I have figured some things out. I just don't know that I could practice 3 times a week or whatever, and I wouldn't want to sign up and be the guy that's never there and holding everyone back.

explain more on the concept... sounds tempting

[Broken Home]

the great thing about four people is... if one person can't make it, you still have three people.

I'm looking to first have bi-weekly sessions just to see how we all fit. none of us are pro turntablists and i don't expect any DMC-caliber stuff (yet!).

the concept is we get together every other week or so and just fuck around for 2-3 hours... experimenting with different sounds and genres.

the main thing actually holding me back right now is space, because I only have a studio apartment. I am working on another option for space. once this is hammered out I'll probably just say "yo anyone who wants to jam show up" and we'll hang out and drink beers or something.

not looking for any long term commitment right now but if something clicks, my long term thought is we'd have to practice once a week and then take over the world.

Well, email me when you get a space and have the first jam session:

Sundays are really good for me, Saturdays are sketchy until December.

I imagine this won't get started until after thanksgiving anyway

but hopefully sooner. i will contact you.

[djmasamune]

I imagine you'd be looking for more of an improv vocalist than an "MC", right? That could be pretty cool. Esp. if we had serato where you can sample and scratch mic input stuff ^_^ Man that would be killer.

[Broken Home]

"Esp. if we had serato where you can sample and scratch mic input stuff"

yep

in answer to your pm this would prob be dc centric

[DAVEILL1]

No thanks

[Broken Home]

:neener:

[DAVEILL1]

I would suggest adding another mixer

[Broken Home]

thanks for your feedback!

[djmasamune]

DC is straight by me.

[Broken Home]

now just gotta find practice space

[The Logic Theorist]

I actually possibly have enough space, at least for the moment, the problem is I don't have enough flat places to put the gear on. My setup is just big enough for 2 decks battle style and a battle mixer.

if a couple of foldout tables is all that's stopping us... that's a non issue

I have difficulty scratching on anything that's not really stable. My setup is on cinderblocks for that reason. But basically, yeah, with a little rearranging of my living room I should be able to squeeze in 4 decks, 2 mixers, and an mpc. I've got 2 decent sized speakers as well.

I dunno, let me know when we're closer to a date and if there's still no other place to practice we can meet up and figure it out.

looks interesting. to bad i dont live in dc :elad:

[Broken Home]

thanks everyone.

this is being put on hold until january since I'm working on another project right now... will keep y'all posted.

[CharlesM]

hey dan im down

[Broken Home]

I will def be contacting everyone, gotta focus on this rave first

[Broken Home]

hey everyone sorry for the delay... i know a lot of you expressed interest but the idea kind of changed gears and is now focusing more on electronic music in general and not just on turntablism. right now we have two djs on turntables, two on synth, one on ableton... also one of the turntable djs is doin some guitar and MPC. more info later, and also looking for more people to join us. our next session is JANUARY 6 (sunday) in the afternoon, after 3pm, if you are available let me know!

[djmasamune]
