Ladae - Party 2 Nite (Ghetto Flava mix) feat. Grand Puba 12"

Here's a nice RNB/Swing joint from 1996 by Ladae (feat. Grand Puba). Well spent 10cents from HHV.de's Diggin' Days last September in Berlin:

Who invented DVS?

We use Traktor Scratch Pro on our gigs and atleast i couldn't be happier with it. I've had Mixvibes and Serato too, but I prefer TSP.
Anyway i came across to this interesting article of the history of DVS's. They go back to 90's...that's right. Here's the link, I highly recommend to check it out:

I also drooled to those old school mixers, like Apex Gold. Beautiful rotary mixer from the nineties with full EQ kills. Damn nice! And what's really nice about it? It's only 250€ shipped! Yes, original and new for 250€.

Even though I'm more of a hip hop DJ I really like the looks of rotary mixers. That's why I got this classic looking beast to my mixer collection. Vestax PMC-46mk2:

(no i haven't received it yet, but I will post an actual photo soon as i get it)

Jose Gonzales - Promise in Love

I couldn't find ANY info on this track online. I ripped this from a friend for his wedding last summer. Thanks Sauli. I just don't remember what release (album) this is and i couldn't locate it from Discogs either. But i'm still pretty sure it's this guy: http://www.discogs.com/artist/Jos%C3%A9+Gonz%C3%A1lez. Obviously i couldn't find a picture of the EP either, so i just posted a nice flower. Nice song anyway!

Blackstreet feat. Mya - Take me There (Big Yam Remix)

Sorry for the huge cue burn at the beginning. This was a 2nd hand 40 cent single from a local recordshop The Funkiest. This track is from the b-side of their '99 hit single "Girlfriend/Boyfriend feat. Janet".

Notorious B.I.G - Everyday Struggle (Frank Sinatra Remix)

    

Here's a really dope bootleg remix of Biggie's great track "Everyday Struggle":

L. - Check the Flow / Relax your mind 12"

Relax your mind (Album):

Relax your mind (Instrumental):

I know it's been a LOOOOONG time since last update, but here we go again. I'm definitely feeling Relax your mind -track. This is another try with a different ripping style. This time straight out of USB-output of my Xone:42 with Ortofon Night Club mk2 cartridge. Recorded to Adobe Soundbooth and maxed the volume. Splitted with Audacity and converted from AIFF with Max. I have ripped a lot of music from my vinyl collection and i'm here to share again.

I'll be doing tests with another mixers aswell. You'll be the judge which sounds best. Comments are more than welcome!

We're not dead

You may have been waiting our next post since it's been a while. So no we're not dead nor stopped working with our blog. I'm just lazy and Antti has been skating.

We'll be back soon with new dope vinyl rips.
