Just to say …

Thank you.

2011 has been a fantastic year for me and my business, and 2012 looks to be even more exciting.

Thank you to all my clients, venues, colleagues and friends.

Happy New Year

Paul

Saturday Night

Saturday night was great fun. The event was Carly and Christopher’s engagement party at the excellent Roddington Forge. It was also a chance for Joe to come along and play Tag-Team on the decks. We had a fine time mixing some classic hip-hop, dance anthems, current floor-fillers and a few cheesy tracks from back in the day that went down almost too well!

All together now …
“Get on up when you’re down
Baby, take a good look around
I know it’s not much, but it’s okay
Keep on moving on anyway”

Great people and good times!

All Change ~ oops!

So here’s what’s happened …
The new website is up and looking great – thanks everyone for your feedback and support – so then I go and spend a lot of money to switch to the Pioneer play-out system, improve the sound with a new, more compact and less intrusive speaker system, and change the basic look of the show to be even more elegant and discrete … making many of the photo’s on the new website out of date – clever huh!

Seriously, I’ve been working on a more compact show for a while, and now that alternative is available, so you have a choice. I can now provide a set-up which takes up less space and looks less like a traditional disco set-up, or my original show which looks larger and more imposing.

Here’s the new set-up at the Royal Winchester Hotel

and here’s what we had before at the Moorhill House Hotel

It may not look an awful lot different, basically the new stand is about 2/3rd’s of the size and looses the overhead bar. You’ll get to see more in future posts, and over the coming weeks I’ll hopefully get some more professional photos for the website. Any questions ~ just get in touch.

Control Freaks 5 ~ The Deck Section

Looks like we are going to be buying the DDJ~S1. It really is a lovely controller and I’ve certainly taken to it better than the other two we have in the house.

Here’s Joe’s next video.

Control Freaks 4 ~ DDJ-S1 Overview

It’s Joe’s turn to take a look at the DDJ-S1.

Control Freaks ~ Video 3 ~ Loading Up

Here’s number 3 – all about loading up the Serato software for the Pioneer DDJ-S1.

It was sooooooooooooo easy!

PLEASE click through to YouTube and give us a thumbs up ~ cheers

Pioneer Control Freaks ~ Video 2 ~ The Unboxing

Here’s the second video in our Control Freaks series. Again, it is probably only of interest to other DJ’s and gadget-junkies.

It was filmed on Saturday morning straight after the last one.

This video is for DJ’s and anyone interested in the new Pioneer DDJ Serato Itch controller. The Party DJ have been loaned a Pioneer DDJ-S1 for 14 days and see what it does and what it can do for us as part of the Pioneer Control Freak promotion.

We found out about this promotion from Jonathan, the DJ Tutor at www.djtutor.com

So, on Saturday 4th June 2011 at just after 8am, a courier delivered two packages – this video is the unboxing of that delivery. It’s video two in the series – more to follow.
