    Sudden increase in values?

    Anybody else noticed many late 80's and early 90's recs being priced much higher than even a few weeks ago. In addition there seems to be quite poor availability of a lot of tracks or only 1 or 2 for sale. Going through mine ensuring everything is recorded but also on discogs as wanting to have...

    Rekordbox, anybody use it?

    I have the chance to buy a refresh kit for my gear, DJM900 Nexus and 2x CDJ900 non Nexus meaning I will buy the club kit to do away with my SL3. I hope I'm correct in saying I can plug my 1200's into channels 2&3 use normal vinyl or timecode straight through the mixer. Similar I can use channels...

    Rane SL1 with Serato Scratch VS Rane SL3 with Serato DJ

    So today I retired my faithful SL1 which has been very lightly and respectfully used after impulsively buying a 2nd hand SL3 from a local shop. A quick set up on the computer....all of 5 minutes....automatic transfer of my tracks from Scratch to DJ and sit back and listen. The sound difference...

    Tv Series Strange Things

    What a great soundtrack running through a pretty good series so far. Has a genuine 80's feel and a sound track full of early sounding synths and electro sounds. Well worth looking up on Netflix S

    OSA Track of the Day

    You want hard, it's difficult to beat Neon Voices 92. I love these tracks for what they are but importantly what memories they bring too.....Neon to me is World Dance Aug 92....madness and just look at the lineup! S

    Download music

    I never thought I would see the day however buying music here in Brisbane is very expensive with very little available. So my options are stop buying or eat my own words and ask you good people for advice regarding downloading full singles/pressings. Where should I start with downloads, any...

    Nice hifi Bod, love my 90's Technics gear too. Strong as an ox and nice sound. I always tried to get AA range and like you still have my tape deck.....also have a really nice Sony tape deck for recording mix tapes to digital. 90's hifi gear is great, definitely better than the later single box...
