Two new 8205 releases are up now! 8205-021 Equinox & Renegade EP / 8205-022 Bizzy B & D-Lux EP. Both EPs are wicked unreleased archival material from 93-94. There are also some last copies of Bizzy B's last two EPs on 8205, and the Deceptive Jon EP.

Wow I just noticed @discogs auto filters your want list based on which records are actually for sale in the region of your current shipping address. That probably seems like a good feature to them, but it's horrible for people with addresses in two countries.
@discogs wantlist stuff is the absolute tip top stuff we want to buy. The whole point is to give quick and easy access to see when it goes for sale. Now it turns out you're specifically hiding those records from us???
USB-pocalypse is upon us. Latest @alphathetaglobal CDJ3000/XL firmware breaks compatibility with all rekordox 5/6 USBs. The number of huge DJs I see mentioning how it ruined their sets this weekend on instagram is shocking. There's no way @alphathetausa could have not...
anticipated this?? I'm guessing they accepted it as a cost to finally force everyone into upgrading to their "latest and greatest" because it also forces us into monthly subscriptions for basic features that were free in previous RB versions. Greedy scumbag moves.
8205-026 and 8205-027 are in stock and shipping now! For anybody who avoids preorders or was otherwise occupied on Bandcamp day. All US copies will be sent to me Tuesday to mail out, so if you're stateside please order before then if you want cheap (half price) shipping.
Thanks to @weedhitter for getting me involved with this crazy 2 day Seattle rave! All sorts of mad tuneage this weekend and very different from the usual parties I play, looking forward to checking it out.
After over a year of work, the latest two 8205 releases are out now. 8205-024 Orca and 8205-025 Love Dove Jay. Unreleased tunes from 93-95. Plus there's a bunch of backstock up. 8205.bandcamp.com
Succesfully bike-pilled a London friend on his recent trip to boston, now I finally have someone to show me how to ride around that city without feeling like I'm about to die at every moment
It's crazy to me this site selling bootleg mp3s is STILL up after all this time, and is a registered business in Belgium. Absolute scumbags. If you know artists on there, please get them to complain to their ISP or Sabam (elgian music rights org) revibed.com
Last night I figured out a workaround for when the master volume is set super low on DJM mixers. This has plagued me for years at gigs because I monitor in-headphone, and headphone master on DJMs is post-amp. That means you have to crank headphones all the way up to hear it.
Granted, overall volume will still be quiet, so not great if you're used to loud monitoring in headphone. But this gives you all the flexibility of independent master vs cue ratio mixing (normally I like mixing with cue maybe 2x as loud as master before switching to pure master).
This might be the most obvious thing in the world, and having to monitor "in headphone" is kind of a crutch (though it's also a useful fallack skill for when monitors suck). But I could have played some way tighter sets over the years if I had figured this out earlier😒
🙏to all the meh "johnny jungle come lately" producers who have since switched to making DKG (Dunning-Kruger Garage). Me and my friends' inboxes thank you.
