few things - it should spin back normally with the setting youve got on (100%) check its on vinyl mode though, i normally turn the volume down slightly when i do it as it sounds mad and overpowering on highest. THe more sensitve the jog wheel the faster it should sound, simple as that really

Cheapest place for a pair of european power cables for my CDJ 800´s?

Also how important are the little earth cables? I´ve lost them.

Pioneer 800s don't have earth cables? Well last least mine don't- just power cable and phono cable…

What sort of stuff you play Paolo?

I like the track at 6:40

Reckon though that you should try to break up the style abit, vocal banger after vocal banger can be abit much over a longer period. Try firing in some real stripped down stuff. Then when you drop the bigger vocal tune the contrast with the previous tracks really helps the impact if you know what I mean.

Sounds decent makemlad you need to get a full mix posted up, i need some new decent soulful stuff for the summer. Only neg for me is the tune coming over the top sometimes sounds a little loud but all in all its good. Church lady still sounds immense

yeah im going to do full mix soon m8 ..i dont know if its the trim on the mixer that needs lowering because when i first tried to record my mix i played it back and the sound was crap it sounded like there was way too much base on it ..so me not being the most knowledgeable about recording from the mixer i just had mess around with the EQs but nothing changed but then i tried the trim and it worked but you can still here it sometimes so i dont know if thats making the tune sound like its coming over too load ?

thanks for the feedback ;O)

A mix from a friend of a friend - The Oldboy. Resident of nights such as Eat My Beat and Contort Yourself and also Monday Murkage which Manchester headz may be familiar with.
