[tenminmix] Decks, EFX and Tech #3 - Simon Stokes

Howdy!

For my next vid I thought I'd upload a new ten minute techno mix. The day before making this video, I went out to pick up a set of Technics 1210 Mk5G decks - absolute beasts! I got a total bargain on them, so they are hardly costing me anything once I sell the Vestax PDX-2000s that I used to use....always nice.

The problem, though, has been getting used to the less torque that the Technics decks offer - while they are much nicer to mix on (especially the nice, tight pitch fader) they are definitely harder to adjust if something goes out - it's good on a way as I get to put the hours in practicing again!

Hope you enjoy the mix - it has some of the tracks that I am really hammering at the moment. For all you techno geeks there is an unreleased Alex Under on this mix too! Tracklisting:

**Tracklist available on request!**

All comments are warmly received!

Thanks,

Simon
