@abrahamcabrera Yea getting some video footage or recordings down is something that has been requested and on my list for some time. Unfortunately i havent done either ! Also i have been taking a break from dj'ing to concentrate on production, which is very time consuming considering i have had to rebuild a new studio for myself.

But its inevitable that i will have a channel devoted to my work and i will put alot of effort into and share.

stop digital bullshit ! techno ,music and art has skills ,

the digital enviroment needs no skills just your money !

@raymondo1992 well, show me how to loop a digital vinyl system or set hot cues, which gets more and more important to Djs all over the world. and look at Hawtins other setup, two midi controllers on a xone 92 mixer. everything digital. and the possibilities are jsut amazing. you know, you don't win anything by using digital vinyl, even the amazing sound of classic vinyl is gone cause basically it's all about your mp3 quality

[raymondo1992]

turntables look cool .Cdj's were meant to simulate turntables but they don't.They don't even spin round,they are overpriced too.

The traktor with vinyl set up is good ,it brings back the vinyl !!

@dubmaverick69 thats what they are supposed to do, play not look at the bitches or doing lines off the vinyl
