You know what would be cool?

post any ideas you have related to DJing, as innovative as possible.

I think it would be cool if turntables had odometers on them to show how many times they had went around.

WTF!?! odometeres

Posted by El~ZaPo on Jun-13-2002 15:31:

They need an odometer that measures how meany beats its played. Then when you buy used gear you can see the beat odomoter, and say "wow only 1,000,000 beats have been played!"

1200s that are crank powered like the old old old tts... great for raves in the middle of nowhere where there isn't any power.

um i dont know about that, but what about generators, gas and power conditioning strips, wouldnt that solve the problem???? hehe that would be funny to see two guys next to your dex as you mix cranking away, lol

yeah, i've used a generator and gasoline before.

cranks would be OK, but if you wanted amplification for your sound.. you'd need a lot of people cranking to get it loud!

Ok, how about some big old mat that generates electricity when people jump around on it. Stick it under dancers... there ya go.

How about hamster-powered 1200's?

oh and you know what would be cool too? lose the pitch control...If you'd wanna raise the pitch you could simply put an extra hamster on !

how about a turntable powered by a chevy 350 for the ultimate in start up torque?? i mean hell, the pitch control could just change the idle speed..... and you could slap on a standard rig alternator to power the sound system... and a 12 foot fanblade to keep all the kiddies cool....

On a related note, I've always wanted to take the steering wheel off a car and replace it with vinyl... and perhaps an arm and a needle.

"Why no, Officer, I'm not drunk, I was just scratching!"

now THAT would redefine the notion of a spinout.....

Wanna print my own T-shirt maybe with the text 'dj deClarq'

Anyone of u wear wacky clothes when djing?
Maybe even as part of an image?

Maybe if you wore a big blue wig, a round red nose and some draculas teeth when playing P-Control - Clown Song ... that'll freek the crowd out, I think ....
