UK Forum Users Stand up

Nicky Blunt 4:16 PM - 24 April, 2007
Ayo I was thinking of arranging a UK serato forum meeting but needed to find out who here is from the UK & where y'all from.

Holla back!

I wanna go to london one day. What's the typical reaction when you hear an english speaking american accented person?
Monk-A 7:30 PM - 24 April, 2007
we laugh at them :)


NA! it's not that big a deal to be honest, poeple don't really pay that much attention to the accent because london is such a multicultural and diverse city we've got everyone from everywhere if that makes sense.

It really depends more on how you acting. We get a lot of touristy Americans who rock up and expect to be treated like Royalty, but i've got tons of american friends who are just straight down the middle and fit right in.

You'll ove it mate.

We would call it dance music, but EDM is what everyone else on this board calls it.

Basically i spin house, trance, hardstyle, techno, tech trance etc

Anything along that lines, all quality dance music!

yeah i dunno why but I only read the east in your original post, and ignored the south. then when you posted woolwich i was like "dudes not form east london!" lol!!!

hackney is ok, you just gotta be realistic about the dangers o living there, lived there for 3 years and never had a spot of trouble, went to crouch end and got kicked unconcious by 10 blokes for walking down the street with my wife. :(

No where is truly safe in london.

I'm tablist as well by the way guys, although i do play everyting else as well.

I used to run Needlework the open decks night in Waterloo, DJ'd all over London as well, organised and ran the DMC team finals in 2003 and a whole host of tablist related things...including running this london based Tablist-centric based record label - www.needleworkrecords.com
phatplastic 7:17 AM - 2 May, 2007

i play just about everything i can get my hands on, im not an especially great dj, but i love music.. and i dj as an extension of that.

i dont do club nights, but this is because i dont want to do club nights. i dont want to dj for a living, im a programmer by trade, and im happy as that.

i do private parties very rarely, on my terms, for a specific crowd of people who i know i can cater to, and these jams are more hype than any club night iv ever been to...

i also help run a vw show up here, one of the best vw watercooled shows in the country.. which is nice.

the guys got skills but all that crap 80's music!!!!!!!!!
the best part of the 80's for me was BMX's not the music,lol
Monk-A 1:52 PM - 3 May, 2007
I have to say I don't like Yodas mixtapes, think they are really unpolished and rough aroudn the edges. Some of the blends on the 80's mixtape make my ears hurt out of key, out fo time i wondered whetehr he'd actually listened to it.

I also think it's a little bit wrong that he's made his name ripping spinbads 80's mixtapes off...

The guardian used to wank themselves silly over him, when everyone who knew about ti knew he was basically just regurgatating psinbads "rock the casbah"

nice one, ive been an e38 member for a few years and i remember reading a few of your music posts on the board and thinking "this guys not got the usual rubbish uk music taste"

will need to try to get down to some of the meets this year, been without the mk2 for almost 2 months for the 1st time in 4 years.

will return with 20vt mk2, s2 or vr6 raddo just in time for summer shows.
DJSouluk 4:39 PM - 6 May, 2007
Yo Cheeba, i've been playing in Puerto Rico for da past 3 years and have recently moved home so am a bit out of touch, i've heard of 'Iffy' but never played at da mezze or had any dealings with him, sorry couldnt be of more help & gl! ;)
CS-80a 5:20 PM - 6 May, 2007
Monk A is right.

Personally I find Yodas mixes totally unlistenable but he is extremely asute at marketing himself. He's probably booked to play at Student Unions up and down the country for the next 10 years.
