Hard House dj, quite popular and quite good.
But, hard house, nonetheless! emm, he's no Tony De Vitt
although I'll give him credit for spinning Till Tears Do Us Part--stellar song. |

i guess he'd prolly mix records in really fast just by pitch bending...
hmmm.. how wouldja know where to cue the record tho?!?? |

| maybe he listens to the needle...i doubt that holds in a club environment tho |

| He definetely does not listen to the needle.. :) What he probably has to do is to mark his records so that he knows the exact cue position, then be VERY familiar with his tracks so that he has at least a general idea of what the pitch settings should be. Or is there another way? |

yeh, i saw him live and his mixing is incredible he puts his phones on for about.. 30 seconds takes them off, lights up a ciggie, sips some of his vodka and lemonade or whatever it was, has a chat with his promoter, has a laugh etc etc walks up to the decks 5 mins later and mixes in the next song.. no phones.. he only did this once or twice tho but still left me in amazement
and whats also cool is he has a small towel hooked up to the back of his pants and everytime he puts on/takes off a record he gives it a nice wipe and clean :)
he's labelled as a hardhouse DJ but he starting to spin some trancy stuff now. Eg Rank1 - Awakening, NuNRG- Dreamland

| Fergie owns, he's one of the best mixers out there, he's got an ear for the beat, pretty much all his mixes are seamless cos he works so hard on his tracklists, he practices all day every day :D |

| He probably spins the record till the EQ lights start flashing, and thats when he know where the que is... if ya's know what i mean. Or maybe he's just got a BPM counter, and has mark'd all his records with the BPM's and put them in order??? Still gotta give him credit. :) |

I got told thats how your supposed to start, and low and behold I found it easier to mix without headfones, and it's easier to mix with headfones now. Mixing without headfones isn't THAT hard, mixing with only one channel coming thru your headfones is HARD, had the displeasure of finding that out at a party on saturday night, pulled it off allrite I think :D |
