Anjunabeats

I spin anjuna, I love anjuna, but lately I've been seeing things that are upsetting me.

Most of their recent releases have the BPM printed on the record. GIVE ME A BREAK. How inexperienced do you have be to have to have the BPM right on the record. C'mon Anjuna, be real!!!

its nothing to do with being unexperienced, it's simply for ease of use so you can utilise time elsewhere. they are also printing the key of the track on the sleeve. Get with the times!

p.s. whats the fuckin point in moaning about it here anyway!? go to anjunabeats.com and make a thread there or complain to [email protected]. If its not worth complaining about to them, then dont complain at all.

"major issues in djing today........"

what a dumb thread

ROFL @ this thread!

Oh noes, the poor bloke's upset! Maybe you can sue Anjuna for mental anguish or something?...

Bpm has been printed on sleeves forever.

I noticed this on my copy of Smith & Pledger - White/Black. Sure, it's easy to say, "Oh, they are making this too easy for the noobs with the BPM printed, etc." However, suppose I open my set with a track that is not at 138BPM (like White/Black). I still have to match my beats later on when I work in the track with the stated BPM. And even if I did nothing but spin every record with the same BPM, I have to cue and phrase properly, or my set will sound like holy hell.

Off topic, I'm digging some of this Smith & Pledger stuff, guys. I have Forever, White/Black, and Hijack. Anything else of theirs I should pick up?

guys stop joking around, this is a serious issue.

Jeez that's terrible. I also have this one vinyl that says: "THIS SIDE" and "THAT SIDE". I mean, what happened to A- and B-sides???? Dj-ing is getting way too easy this way! Unacceptable!

Sueeee!

they tend to mess it all up anyway

yeah, cause only the pros with their 1337 DJ skillz can figure out the BPM of a track.

Northern Lights...nice instrumental track. Also check out Matt Hardwick & Smith & Pledger - Day One, with the Above & Beyond Remix. It was an amazing track back in 2003....wish there were more tracks like this nowadays. They have "Connected" too, but IMO "Day One" is better, maybe because I prefer instrumentals, but the vocals in "Connected" aren't as good as in "Forever".

And I do think it's stupid to complain about something that is actually helpful. Not every DJ has the time to find the exact BPM of every record by ear or some software program. I would have thought they would do this a long time ago, when beatmixing got to be more prevalent.

um, yup.

Pick up Super8 - "Get Off" Great track in a long while...

if they didnt print it on there, i'd write it myself.
all my cds have bpms and keycodes

Thanks guys for being really mature about this.
