Why I made WHAT AM I DOING WITH MY LIFE?!? my new photo zine
Just a little quick video to talk about my latest foray in to the creative visual media, WHAT AM I DOING WITH MY LIFE?!?. The first few issues have been out for a little while, but I never quite went into why I'm doing this in addition to DJing. Not that anyone needed answers, but hopefully this will make it make sense.

QUINCY JONES TRIBUTE - Recreating Passin me By with OG Samples & a Loop Pedal
Переглядів 52714 днів тому
Got the idea from my man DJ Daps 1 who posted some of Quincy Jones' well known samples on his Instagram stories. I haven't done a loop pedal video in a while, so I took a shot at recreating The Pharcyde's "Passin Me By," the meat of the sample coming from Jones' "Summer in the City," drums are from the Skull Snaps' "It's a New Day" and a little extra from Hendrix. Hope y'all dig it!

Trying out something new, @alchemix206 and I went to Silver Platters in Seattle and got one another a couple $1 records in their bargain bins. The challenge here was to make something out of some really cheap records. This is my contribution. Check out Alchemix's video for his beat: ua-cam.com/video/_RZKYunjV48/v-deo.htmlsi=6vPMurYx45TVS1ky

I needed a break from Seattle and it had been a while since I was last in New York, so I went on a solo trip to check out record shops, eat vegan food, and take hella pics. There were more photos than videos, but here's the little bit that I did get. Highly recommend both Deep Cuts and A-1 Records. While there, I made a sketch of a beat using the KO II.

Unboxing and Reviewing the classic DMC PMX-2 Pro Mixer
Переглядів 2962 місяці тому
DJ technology has come an incredibly long way and one of the hallmarks of DJ mixers is the original Melos PMC-2 Pro, which the DMC (Disco Mix Club) used for their competitions until the late 90s. This is the same mixer that solidified champs and legends like Roc Raida, DJ Aladdin, the Rock Steady DJs, a truly endless list (DJ Swamp, Noize, Rob Swift). This is a piece of history that I've wanted...
Making beats on the KO II in my Brooklyn hotel room

I’m currently in NY and one of my personal challenges was to make a beat using the records I picked up whilst digging here.

At the CID Block Party

I was asked to DJ with the fine folks of the SEA Vinyl Society at Mam's Bookstore during the Chinatown-International District Block Party. This was a super awesome event and I was incredibly humbled to share the 1200s with some cool folks playing kick ass jams that spans the Asian diaspora. When describing my set, DJ Daps 1 said, "It's like if Asian Avenue was still around and made a compilatio...
A Portable Beatmaking Set Up (SP-303, KO II, PT-01)
Переглядів 2,2 тис.3 місяці тому
Not the kind of video I make very often, but recently, I acquired an SP-303 and wanted to try and integrate it in my beatmaking workflow. I mainly rely on the MPC One, but the Boss SP-202 was the first sampler I ever had, so I thought to revisit the model up from early foray. This isn't about making the perfect beat, but I wanted. to experiment with the limitations. Needless to say that this is...

    Melos PMX-2 is the DMC og. A few mixers I'm on the hunt for is the og Gemini mx2200 made famous by Cash Money and every other east coast dj. The Vestax PMC 05 Q ltd Qbert special. And the GLI 9000 made famous by Jam Master Jay. Fun fact Melos Japan brought GLI and stated producing the 9000 as the PMX 9000. And the list goes on for me. Old school Numark, Stanton, Rane.... All the mixers I never had.

    I briefly tried my hand at scratch djing in the mid 80s when I got into hip hop or electro back then and although I managed to get some direct drive turntables,Technics SL1200,which cost me a small fortune back then but the mixer although somewhat basic I was using was a Gli and I can always remember the stickers that came in the box which read “I rely on Gli”,thanks for sharing Love and peace from Ireland

      I’m not to sure mate but I think DJ Cheese used this brand of mixer when he won the DMC Championship in 1986,who coincidentally was the first scratch hip hop DJ I saw at the Town & Country Club in London in either 85 or 86 with his MC’s Word Of Mouth,hard to believe he won the DMC with 3 turntables,just records,no stems,no laptop,no serato etc etc,don’t even think he was really beat matching then either,anyway if you do happen to find one it’ll be interesting to see what you make of it not just that I think they are hard to find aswell

    I really like the samples you chose. Would you recommend the SP-303 to someone? I bought an MPCX a while back and I'm still learning it.

    • @RyanFreshhh
      @RyanFreshhh 3 місяці тому

      Thanks! If you're still getting comfortable with the MPCX, I would either stick with that or look at the 404 series. The 303 is something I got because my first sampler was the 202 and it's a beefier version of that. Personally, I think the 404 pairs better with the MPC series and I think they would compliment each other well, but that's just me. Ultimately, it comes down to your comfort level and also how you want to utilize each machine.
