i play 45s all the time with and without middles.they are a big part for the reggae sound systems.been playing them for 40 plus years now without problem.7s 10s and 12s.reggae sounds are mainly records,including dubplates,long live the 45
Sure vinyl was trendy for a few years but it will always be a rewarding and exciting format to collect and listen to. With the right set-up, it sounds perfect.
Story of my life. He is right. Djs tend to like using 12 inch vinyl compared to 45s or 7 inch back in the days. And he is absolutely right. I used to count the bpm's in each of my record. Write them in front of the record sleeve as a guide when I'm mixing. But with practice it becomes very easy and after a while sometimes mix without headphone 🎧 anymore. Lots of practice to get into that stage.
Back in the day using vinyl at an event that had very bouncy floors was also interesting having to use good old blue tack and a coin. At times some venues had tables suspended from the ceiling to get around this but not many. Brings back lovely memories.
7" is fantastically difficult to adjust and pitch. The smallness of them means every alteration is magnified a thousand times over. When you watch early American DJs mixing flawlessly on 45s, you are watching demons from a another dimension.
Oh man....thats a classic "mokum" slipmat! Gabber, techno, hardcore...the good ol'days!
I was thinking the same!
Lol, just watching the first segue with all these thoughts going on in my head about it, and then he runs the second record in, haha, and IT sounds just like i remember! Skoppum tonearm, bendy Sound and comes in a little abruptly which often happen. Love IT!
At least today there Are those thingys you clamp on top that holdes the 7" in place properly, makes alot of sende.
Yeah, I Also think mixing these Are hard work. Not impossible, but certainly demands some finesse to do IT properly.
Nice selection too btw!
🤣 thank you. You make me laugh ! I feel less alone !
I had loads of great 7 inch late 80's house music tracks. My dad ran a club which had one of those "record player" jukebox. This thing held loads of records so all sorts of lesser know gems (at the time) got put on. Some barely, if ever getting played. When the guy came to replace the records every fortnight, the ones he took of, my dad used to buy, paying 20p per record, & he bought every single one for probably 10 years from 86 to 96! He bought 100s.
I started DJing seriously in 1993. I had access to some great house tunes from the late 80s... I remember loads of house tunes coming off that jukebox from 88 to 90, it was great. Anyways...... Used to love dropping in great tunes like "Inner City" or "Expansions - Move you Body".... Into sets in the mid 90s when these late 80s / very early 90s tracks were having noses turned up at them for sounding..."Dated!" Now, more or less all of us know that a great tune only ages better...... & There's something magical in sounding of it's time!
I digress.......
So I had loads of great tunes but on 7 inch.... & The big hole in the middle being ex-jukebox. What I used to do is, blue tack a 7 inch record on top of a 12 inch record. It was a very simple yet effective way of getting that all important extra 5 inches (oh Matron!) Of record to manipulate when trying to nudge that record into mix!
I really like your videos! You make my day joyful, your video infuse all your passion about mixing. I laugh with you about jokes, man. Hope the best!
That Sydney Youngblood sounds like Raze "Break For Love". Never heard it before but I want it! I don't remember hearing that in the U.S. in 1989.
Holly shit, you're still alive?
How is your daughter?
She grew up since I last seen her on some of your videos tons of years ago.
Ive been enjoying your videos for years. I have 1 'trick', i have never seen you use. Its how to create effects with a mixer with no effects.
I hear you loud n clear . Ive been pause mixing tapes an unconventional way of mixing & with that obvious fraction of a second delay the misfiring created a new kind of off beat style some friends advised me to keep that broken beat style . So i understanding keeping it original . Peace .
Nice tutorial, records like a 7" vinyl was good because you had radio edits, so if you could you would buy 12''vinyl club extended mixes single releases together, I think I bought nomard I wanna give you devotion on both formats from UK store that no longer exist called Woolworths in the early 90s, Flippin luv the Limited Edition jive bunny ones lol
Urban cookie collective wow that's classic you don't hear today because everyone knows key the secret more , I only have that on 12 '' vinyl not 7 '' vinyl happy, there's just something about a classic record vinyl spinning on a technics sl1200 mk2, the reaction beats controllers, laptops, pioneer gear everything under the sun in a club or bar trust me
FSwift DJ
Jive bunny no way! Bit of early 90s sampling for you there from the great Andy pickles! What a legend! when they had enough of that they went on to create my beloved TIDY. And hard house was born... the rest is history! Banging warped history!
@@kepplerkeppler6407 mate they got in trouble for using samples, bit like Mars pump up the volume in 89, the extended mix, samples so much!!
But when labels saw they was popular and could sell, they came to agreement like everything with samples or bootlegs lol
Thats because the vinyl is from a juke box and needs a center adapter obviously.
In the early/mid 1980's you were lucky with a lot of 12' - but a lot of 7' were around... 2-4..minutes and totally right only 1 transition point... But these were the days... Puck or plastic star needed here in Germany...
love the car analogy. I was thinkn shao-lin rope dart. lol. hope you get that remix. whats your longest transition? Who are were your inspirations for djing? Grand master flash claims some og status in the us, who were big in Europe in you early years, did flash inspire you? how did your skill set evolve or have you just always gone with your vibe (you always jamn. music aside what skills helped you become a better dj or inspire you?) sorry just curious about some things. just a bsmnt dj picking your mind. appreciate everything you do.
Well said about Alton Edward's, legend!!! Keep up great work mate
Nice tutorial. I used to Hump three Big Box's of 7" singles In and out every night. The thing In the Centure Is called a Spider. I do Video Disco now and still love It. We didn't have Sl 1200's We had a Citronic Thames 2 to do all this with. That Is how We did It as well. By the way Further back In the 70's You had to tell them everything about the Record You were playing. Like the Artist, Title, Label, Cat# If You didn't they would lynch You. And Soul and Motown records were 2 minutes long so You had to Think fast about what to put on next. it kept You on the Front Foot alright. Kids today Don't know they are Born. I am thinking about taking the Mobile out again. But this time getting the kids to do It see how they get on before they give and turn to the Tech again. Lol.
How many Lines did you have before you made this video
Oh the nostalgia!
Your making me feel old mate. Lol nice one. :)
Tune! If only I could!! Haha! Luv that old 80s pop sh#t! 😂 great vid johno!
Great beat which proved very good later in the clubs when it got sampled into break 4 luv etc very slow though
I agree a bit to slow... it’s no hard dance! But an absolute belter for a sing along in the moter! (Car) 🤗
Looool! @keppler ah those good old days indeed! Music’s time travel man! Just put back on your favourite beats an you’ll be right back there! I am every day🤯 peace bro!
the good old days
Norman Cook glues them to crappy 12"s apparently?
The producer was pissed at the moment lol :DDD
AFAIK 7" has technically a lower sound quality than 12". So why you guys are using 7"? The cut and remix version would just be the same, wouldn't be? Is this the price issue? well, man if that is the case, this is a matter $5 different, it is not really a big deal especially for DJs who make money out of their works. So still don't get it, can someone explain, please.
My point of view as a D.J. candidate: A. It’s easier to put them on a moving platter, B. They have no boring long mixes, C. You can carry a whole crate in an airplane, so there’s no risk to lose them, and D. They look so cute :)
*Where is your 45-adapter?*
It’s not like they’re expensive.
floortoceilingradio - vinyl 45s only radio station!
Verry hardcore-label slipmate you got : )
Buy the way I still have My 50.000 plus Singles.
